Dry Aerosol Generation/Inhalation System
Introduction
This system has been developed for
generation of dry aerosols from labelled solutions and
suspensions and is designed for administering the aerosols
to human subjects by normal nose breathing, for clinical
studies. It is based on a BARC nebuliser, which generates
polydisperse aerosols of small droplet median diameter
(2.7 mm at 20 psi) with large aerosol specific output
of 23 ml/l of air at a flow rate of 3 lpm. An inhalation
of 3-5 minutes of the output aerosols from a 20 mCi
solution gives a scintigraph of good information density.
