• Assuring Used Impactor Nozzle Quality

    The ability to self-manage impactor nozzle quality is an important benefit for FIA customers who already own the FIA TrB III trigger box in combination with a speciality lid. FIA is now offering these measurements to customers who send their impactors -- either NGI or ACI -- to FIA for the same nozzle testing! FIA guarantees impactors sent to us for pressure drop measurement will be at FIA’s lab no more than five days! For the upper stages, we have rated pin gages by which we can measure if the stage nozzles are within specification. Pressure drop and dimensional checks will come with a certificate. In our machine shop we can also repair impactors and individual stages after agreement with the customer. The new FIA service, available to all impactor users, is MUCH FASTER and LESS expensive than optical inspection!! TRY IT NOW; you’ll be glad you did!!! For more technical understanding, press this link to the text that explains the link between dP, optical stage mensuration, and nozzle quality. If you are looking for the NGI service click here

  • Metivent Software - A Companion to TSI Flowmeters

    Metivent is a Windows application for recording air flow measurements from TSI flowmeters (e.g. TSI4040). A standard Windows computer with the installed Metivent software connects to the flowmeter via a USB-serial converter. The acquisition of data from the flowmeter is then controlled by the software. Once started the graph is updated continuously during measurement.

    • The software can be used in several modes and configurations.
    • Start trig (wait to start until the flow has reached the start trigger level)
    • End trig (sample data until stop trigger condition)
    • Gas calibration
    • Number of samples to collect if not using trig
    • Standard or volumetric flow
    • Sampling rate 1-1000/s

    Measurements can be conveniently saved to CSV files and opened in Excel for further data analyses and presentations. The instrument is pivotal when recording inhalations profiles for lung simulation studies (such as F-SIG 6300). The file presents flow and pressure and temperature along with instrument data such as serial number and calibration date and currently used settings.

  • Mixing Inlet - Air-Flow Moderating Inlet (AMI)

    The purpose of this product is inhaler testing aimed at achieving greater clinical relevance when testing dry-powder inhalers. Much like traditional mixing inlets, this product allows the user to maintain a constant flow rate into the cascade impactor with any chosen, time-varying flow rate through the DPI itself. We call it the Air-Flow Moderating Inlet (AMI)…a new friend of the inhaler testing community.

  • Mixing inlet flow manifold T-joint. Comes complete with connections for pressurised air and vacuum connection (breath sim) with adapter for ISO 22 exhaust filter.
