Simulate Breathing Patterns for Inhaler Testing

The automated features of the BRS series calculate duration, frequency and I:E ratio and are an important component for IVIVC testing.

Breathing Simulators BRS

BRS Series

The Breathing Simulator (BRS) family of products was originally designed around the nebulizer requirement to test under tidal breathing. Today, BRS products are increasingly being used to replace constant flow rate (square wave) conditions to more closely represent conditions in vivo.

Unlike the traditional ventilator simulator systems, the BRS series was specifically designed to meet USP <1602> & <1602> specifications, automating the critical calculations of duration, frequency of breath, I:E ratio, etc.

Our suite of products is designed specifically for each individual application in OINDP testing. The upper end models have very flexible computer-controlled breath profiles, ultimately enabling the next wave of IVIVC testing.

Explore the possibilities for enhanced IVIVCs and precise testing across sensitive OINDP scenarios.
