If the device has been stored at the extremes of the storage temperature, please allow at least 1 hour at room
temperature before using the device.
The following particle size specifications were established via performance tests using a seven stage cascade
impactor at a flow rate of 15 L/min and 30 L/min equipped with a USP <601> induction port throat. 3 device
samples were tested with 3 runs each, for a total of 9 sample points per each drug.
Aerosol was sampled directly from the outlet.
The specifications are listed below with the mean and 95% confidence interval included.

Note: Coarse particles (oro-pharyngeal deposition) and ultra-fine particles (exhaled) are not likely to deposit
in the patient’s airway and thus provide limited clinical benefit.
This table summarizes the performance with the mouthpiece and with a face mask when nebulizing
salbutamol (5 mg/2.5 mL). Values reported are mean and 95% confidence interval. When used with a face
mask the performance can be less and you may need to consult your physician about the treatment frequency
and length of treatment.
