• Manage Inhalation Profiles in Clinical Studies with MIDAS The powerful and versatile MIDAS (Manage Inhalation Data Automatically and Securely) is a cGCP compliant software for patient training purposes that can be used to:
    • Streamline recording of thousands of profiles together with the Stig PL instrument
    • Review, compare and perform mathematical operations on the profiles
    • Create comprehensive reports, securely archived alongside the original data
    • In addition, MIDAS can also record in-situ profiles from breath simulators in your lab.

    The Midas provides a powerful means of recording the inhalation profiles of study subjects in clinical trials and making them available for review and reporting.

    The application has been designed to operate in a dedicated IT framework, available from FIA. The scope of the overall system is to record, manage, report and archive data and signed reports in compliance with the highest cGCP standards whilst meeting the ERES requirements of 21 CFR Part 11.

    MIDAS Application is for Everyone!

    Application functionality is defined by user privileges. A user only sees what is relevant and appropriate for their role. Different functions are available in sections organised under tabs, following a workflow from left to right.Midas System setup

  • The data from STIG PL is pressure (flow) against time and meta data such as date, study number/subject etc. The sampling frequency and duration are configurable upon ordering but typically 100 Hz and 10 s. The measurement data is stored as a CSV file which is transferred to a USB stick inserted into STIG PL. Alternatively directly through a speciality cable to a computer with the PCLink software available from FIA. The latter improves data integrity controls. Instead of a CSV file the data can be directly formated for remote database storage. FIA can assist the customer to set up an appropriate database.

  • 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.

  • We offer the service of welding your NGI cups to the NGI tray. Many users find this practical in their everyday handling of the NGI. We have long experience of welding the cups with minimum material change. We inspect the cups before and after the welding to make sure the in-use specifications are upheld. You can send us your own NGI parts or we can take from our internal stock of NGI parts. Depending on the situation, we can agree on various guarantee-commitments.(See the images for further descriptions.)

  • We have broad and long experience of reparing impactors, predominantly the NGI. Examples are:

    1. Nickel coating of NGI body and pre-separator
    2. TiN layer on USP induction port and pre-separator tapered male ends
    3. Polish severely scratched surfaces, such as joints between impactor parts (the NGI stage 1 female entry port is vulnerable) and surfaces around the entry of the induction port. Any measures are discussed with the customers prior, since some parts simply have reached end-of-life.
    4. Reconditioning nozzles on stages where the holes regain their original specifications, or repairing complete stages. Which are verified by optical or mechanical inspections, or through method for determining stage pressure drop:Impactor Nozzle Diameter Measurement NGI
    If a component has reached end-of-life, rest assured, we have the full range of refurbished impactor components available at an affordable price. (See the images for further descriptions.)

  • Automated Delivered Dose uniformity (DDU) and Waste station. A large number of inhalers is loaded into a magazine and the controller works down a list of operations such as delivered dose testing and waste dosing (between periods of the dosing regime). The technology builds on well-established process control equipment from, e.g., Siemens and Festo, why it sits well withing the customers existing support and maintenance organisation. Can be customized to your device. Read more in the pdf Delivered Dose Uniformity_AB FIA_2025
