Project Description
Guiding correct DPI & pMDI inhalation rate
Many patients do not use their inhalers correctly, failing to inhale at the correct flow rate. International asthma management guidelines call for inhaler review. In-Check DIAL G16 enables healthcare professionals to coach patients to use their inhalers correctly. The device measures peak inspiratory flow rate, and can simulate the resistance characteristics of the specific inhaler of a patient, providing the device is set on the correct setting. The patient can then be trained to inhale at a flow rate known to be suitable for their personal DPI or pMDI.
