In a significant development in pediatric healthcare, the United States has seen the introduction of new inhalation devices aimed specifically at children. Activaero, a pioneering company in respiratory care, has launched an innovative inhaler designed to tackle two critical challenges in the administration of inhaled medications: dose inconsistency and poor patient adherence. The device is not only engineered to deliver more accurate drug dosages but also encourages better compliance with prescribed treatment protocols.
According to the company, only about 25% of patients using traditional pressurized metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) are able to use them correctly, which significantly reduces the effectiveness of their medication. For children, the situation is even more concerning, as less than 5% of the drug actually reaches the lungs due to improper technique. This gap in treatment efficacy highlights the urgent need for improved delivery systems tailored for younger patients.
In addition to this new inhaler, Activaero is also working on the second generation of its Akita system—a smart assisted inhalation device that helps patients breathe properly during medication delivery. The Akita device tracks and visually displays the patient’s breathing pattern, ensuring proper inhalation technique. The upcoming second-generation model will be an electronically controlled liquid nebulizer, ideal for patients who require precise dosing, especially those using costly medications where waste must be minimized.
As of now, the product is in the early stages of clinical research, with the company expecting to complete Phase I trials soon. This advancement marks a promising step forward in improving respiratory treatment outcomes for children, offering a more reliable and user-friendly alternative to conventional inhalers. ——China Medical News
Roughness Profile Measuring Instruments all-in-one machine is an all-in-one machine for measuring profile shape and surface roughness, which has the powerful function of analyzing and measuring profile shape and surface roughness. Realize accurate measurement of dimensions, shape and roughness. It is mainly used to measure the parameters of the surface micro-geometry and macro-geometry of mechanical parts such as straightness, inclination, angle treatment, roundness treatment, double-groove treatment, double-arc treatment, etc.
Performance characteristics
1. High accuracy, high stability and high repeatability: meet the measurement accuracy requirements of the measured part.
1) Select high-precision grating measurement system and high-precision inductance measurement system, with high measurement accuracy;
2) Independently researched and developed high-precision grinding guide rail system, which has good wear resistance of guide rail materials and ensures stable and reliable operation of the system;
3) High-performance linear motor drive system ensures high measurement stability and good repeatability.
2. Intelligent management and detection software system:
The operation interface of the instrument is friendly, the operator can easily master the operation of the instrument, and the use is very simple.
1) The company has accumulated many years of practical measurement software design experience to provide customers with simple, practical and fast operation experience;
2) The company has invested many years of human resources in the development of instrument software, with special software copyright;
3) With powerful functions, it can automatically process data, print reports in various formats, and automatically display, print, save and query measurement records;
The data can be archived or printed in a centralized manner, which does not take up the verification operation time;
4) The measurement range is wide, which can meet almost all types of workpiece profile measurement, including special measurement functions of special workpiece screw, bearing, thread and other profiles;
5) The measured section can be selected automatically and manually for evaluation, and software functions can be customized according to customer requirements;
6) Powerful CNC automatic measurement and automatic labeling analysis function;
For large quantities of the same type of workpiece, it can carry out CNC measurement, automatically analyze and process the data, and carry out SPC statistics on the data, and can carry out statistical analysis in various ways to give quality control guidance;
7) It can automatically record and save all verification results by using computer large-capacity database storage.
3. It can also measure surface roughness and contour shape
With the same main body, you can only switch different modules to measure the profile shape and microroughness of the product.
4. Multi-parameter evaluation
The roughness can be automatically evaluated according to different standards, including Ra, Rp, Rv, Rz, Rt, Rmax, Rq, Rsk, Rku, RSm, RPc, Rdq, Rdc, Rmr and P parameters, W parameters, Motif parameters, Rcore parameters and other multi-parameter evaluation.
5. Thickness parameter measurement
When measuring the roughness parameters, the height and thickness of some film steps within 600 microns can be measured simultaneously. The measurement is convenient, and the accuracy is controlled within 2% H (H, the total height of measurement). It is especially suitable for high-precision measurement occasions without scratches.
6. Measuring force system:
With the voice coil motor force measuring system, the force measurement can be continuously adjustable from 10 to 150 mN, and the force measurement resolution can reach 0.2 mN; It avoids the force measurement error caused by the vibration of the surrounding environment when the old weight is loaded, and reduces the measurement error caused by the change of the force measurement.
7. Intelligent protection system:
The instrument is protected by hardware and software in all directions, which can effectively protect the instrument host and probe, and reduce the probe and instrument damage caused by personnel's operation errors.
8. Flexible manual control:
The instrument is equipped with a special separating operating rod, which can be placed at any position to control the operation when the instrument is operated and moved, and the measuring needle can be roughly positioned before measuring the workpiece; In the case of leaving the computer, the operating rod has the functions of moving the measuring needle left and right/up and down, emergency stop, the angle swing of the measuring rod up and down, and multi-level speed adjustment.
