Automated Waste Station Turbuhaler/ICORes
can be customised according to your device, the example shown here is for Turbuhaler/ICORes. The station can be made to withdraw doses in different angles, i.e., different orientation of the device, to overcome âmemory effectsâ of reservoir inhalers. Actuation can be by push, pull or as shown here, with a twist. The doses are collected on a high-capacity filter, with a holding capacity of about 10 g. The disposable filter is then safely and easily replaced. The integration with FIAâs TriggerBox III gives the user full control of the flow process and relevant data recorded on file or printer. Can be equipped with anti-static-device. See here for more information.

Patient Realistic Inhaler Testing
The F-SIG 6300 by AB FIA is a breathing profile generator that is capable of replaying complex breathing patterns. Thanks to a novel multi-cylinder design F-SIG 6300 enables generation of a number of clinical relevant patterns. F-SIG 6300 is not intended for clinical use on humans. The areas of operation are for instance: Testing of pharmaceutical inhalers and nebulizers with human breathing patterns. Characterization of cigarettes (smokers profiles). Rodent profiles and general respiratory research that includes very controlled breathing patterns.
User Friendly and Versatile
The F-SIG 6300 is operator-friendly and comes with a touch panel. Profiles, possibly recorded by FIA's Metivent software, are handled and modified in a spreadsheet (e.g. Excel) and the profile library is downloaded to the F-SIG 6300. The operator can thereafter, from the library of profiles, select desired profile on the panel and start the replay of the profile.
Application Examples
The equipment is typically placed on the floor, under the table. Above the table the experiment is set up, as shown here an NGI with mixing inlet to simulate patient realistic profiles when measuring APSD. Alternative control and monitoring equipment is also at display, all available from FIA.
Equipment:F-SIG 6300 consists of a breathing profile generator built into a box with transparent plastic covers and placed on wheels. The control system of the multi-cylinder package is configured and operated by the user through the touch panel. Capacity large volume: 0 - 6.3 liters Capacity small volume: 0 - 0.1 liters Voltage: 95 - 255VAC, 50 - 60Hz, 6.5A Dimensions HxWxD: 380x1036x480 mm, Touch Panel: 80x280x170 mm

Dose Station Ellipta ®
This is our dedicated delivered dose uniformity test station for Ellipta ®, using the brilliant impinger filter dose collector. The latter is washable in-situ and can be ready for the next dose as part of the wet chemistry work-up procedure. The user works with the equipment in a fixed process which starts by the user placing the device in a nest which mates with the dose collector inlet. Thereafter aided by the station with functions such as dose actuation, solvent delivery, sample agitation and after which the user collects the sample manually. The process is ended with an automated drying procedure. The integration with FIAâs TriggerBox III gives the user full control of the flow process and relevant data recorded on file or printer. Ellipta ® is one of the devices on this product category, we have managed to overcome the challenges of getting a leak-tight fit between the device mouthpiece and the dose collector inlet. The inlet has a very precisely machined geometry which will provide an optimal contact and seal against the device mouthpiece. This principle can also be applied to, e.g., DUSA and adapters for the NGI induction port. Please enquire for more information. See also Turbuhaler ® implementation , but can be made for essentially all devices upon customer request. See also attached flyer for more information for in-depth information.

Dose Station Turbuhaler ®
This is our dedicated delivered dose uniformity test station for Turbuhaler ®, using the brilliant impinger filter dose collector. The latter is washable in-situ and can be ready for the next dose as part of the wet chemistry work-up procedure. The user works with the equipment in a fixed process which starts by the user placing the device in an inlet which mates with the dose collector. The inlet is a highly sophisticated construction with an inflatable gasket which seals around the mouthpiece. Above the gasket there are channels which efficiently rinses the gasket and the filter with solvent. The user is aided by the station with functions such as dose actuation, solvent delivery, sample agitation and dose collector cleaning, after which the user collects the sample manually. The process is ended with an automated drying procedure. The integration with FIAâs TriggerBox III gives the user full control of the flow process and relevant data recorded on file or printer. Turbuhaler ® is one of the devices on this product category, see also Ellipta ® implementation, but can be made for essentially all devices upon customer request.

With this manifold you can regulate the flow of both vacuum (negative pressure) and pressurised flow while keeping the lab bench tidy. Typically used in combination with mixing inlet (Mixing Inlet - Air-Flow Moderating Inlet (AMI) - AB FIA Online Store) where a precise flow duration might not be needed. For the latter please see our line of critical flow controllers: Flow and Actuation Control - AB FIA Online Store It can come assembled with fittings and tubing and shut-off valves for vacuum and pressurised air. Describe your needs and we will come back with an offer.
