Adapting the Abbreviated Impactor Measurement (AIM) Concept to Make Appropriate Inhaler Aerosol Measurements to Compare with Clinical Data: A Scoping Study with the “Alberta” Idealized Throat (AIT) Inlet

Abstract

The AIT inlet significantly increased the capture of the coarse fraction compared with that collected by the Ph.Eur./USP induction port. Measures obtained using the AIM-pHRT apparatus were comparable with those obtained with the ACI-AIT.
