STIG Pressure Logger (PL) – Measuring Flow Rates through DPIs in Clinical Studies
Introducing the STIG PL, a GCP compliant device that can be used to:
- Train subjects how to inhale correctly through DPIs
- Record the flow/pressure drop profiles that subject generated through the DPIs
The STIG Pressure Logger (PL) from AB FIA provides a portable solution to record the inhalation profiles from study subjects in clinical trials in a convenient and secure way. The instrument lends itself particularly well to passive devices such as dry powder inhalers, from low to high resistance with a properly configured STIG PL.
A typical set up consists of the STIG PL instrument, an inhalation device and a Windows®computer.
The device is connected to a pressure port on STIG PL with a tube. When the patient inhales through the device STIG PL measures the pressure profile during a set time and saves the profile. The pressure can be mathematically converted to flow.
