Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) aerosol characteristics are relatively insensitive to changes in air flow rate because the aerosolisation and dispersion mechanisms are dependent on the force generated by the propellant, rather than the patient’s inspiratory effort. Therefore, for MDIs, the test flow rate is fixed at an arbitrary value of 28.3 L/min. A vacuum pump is used to draw air through the assembled test set-up at this flow rate. However, these test conditions are not applied for DDU testing when the MDI is intended for use with an add-on device such as a spacer or valved holding chamber (VHC).

DDU of MDIs: Manual Test System Set-Up
The minimum set-up for DDU testing as specified by the Ph. Eur. comprises a sample collection tube, fitted at one end with a suitable mouthpiece adapter to accept the inhaler under test and connected at the other end to a vacuum pump capable of continuously drawing 28.3 L/min through the inhaler.
In addition to the specifications laid down by the Ph. Eur., the FDA recommends and the USP specifies that the volume of air to be sampled should not exceed 2 litres; this being the volume of air adjudged to be typical of the average patient.
This additional criterion can be met by positioning an electronically operated timer controlled two-way solenoid valve, such as that incorporated in the Breath Actuation Controller BAC 100i.

DUSA Collection Tube Stand
Designed for the convenient transfer of multiple DUSA for MDIs around the laboratory.
Temperature and Relative Humidity Sensor
Ideal for measuring environmental test conditions.
MDI Actuation Sensor/Footswitch
Suitable for most commercially available MDI canisters, the MDI Actuation Sensor connects directly to the Breath Actuation Controller BAC 1001 to ensure precise synchronisation of MDI actuation. Alternatively, a Footswitch can be attached to trigger actuation.
DDU of MDIs: Manual Test System Component Parts
- Dose Uniformity Sampling Apparatus
- Vacuum Pump : Designed for optimal operation at the low flow rates required for MDI testing, the Low Capacity LCP6 Vacuum Pump represents the latest in high performance, low maintenance, vacuum pump technology. Our Vacuum Pump range is specifically designed for use in the testing of OINDPs in accordance with pharmacopoeial requirements.
- Breath Actuation Controller (BAC) : Ensuring that the volume of air sampled does not exceed pharmacopoeial specifications, the Breath Actuation Controller BAC 100i contains an electronically operated, timer-controlled two-way solenoid valve and is positioned between the DUSA and vacuum pump.
- Flow Meter : Used for establishing accurate and consistent inlet flow rate during testing, our range of Flow Meters measure and control flow rates to the accuracy specified by the pharmacopoeias.
- Inhaler Testing Workstation (ITW) : Designed to keep the sampling apparatus organised during testing and improve workflow efficiency, the Inhaler Testing Workstation ITW holds the DUSA collection tube, vacuum connector, flow meter and waste shot collector (WSC2).
- Waste Shot Collector and Switching Valve : A compact vacuum filtration system, the Waste Shot Collector WSC2 captures aerosols emitted from repeated actuations of the inhaler, trapping large quantities of the drug for safe disposal. The Switching Valve is used to re-direct air flow between the collection device and WSC2 for quick and easy dose wasting.
- Mouthpiece Adapter : Moulded from high quality silicone rubber, our Mouthpiece Adapters guarantee an airtight seal between the inhaler and the test apparatus. Custom Mouthpiece Adapters are available upon request.

- The test methods used to monitor pharmaceuticals must meet proper standards of accuracy and reliability
- Companies should establish procedures to ensure the fitness for use of instruments that generate data supporting product testing
