METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SIMULATING DEPOSITION OF INHALED DRUG ON LUNGS

An apparatus (100), a system (200), and a method (500) for simulating deposition of an inhaled drug on lungs of an individual are disclosed. The apparatus (100) includes a mouth-throat model (102), an inhalation device (104), and a breath simulator (106) connected to the mouth-throat model (102) for...

Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus (100), a system (200), and a method (500) for simulating deposition of an inhaled drug on lungs of an individual are disclosed. The apparatus (100) includes a mouth-throat model (102), an inhalation device (104), and a breath simulator (106) connected to the mouth-throat model (102) for dispersing drug and respiration flow respectively in the mouth-throat model (102). The apparatus (100) also includes a controlling unit (108) in communication with the breath simulator (106) and the inhalation device (104) to detect the dispersion of the respiration flow and actuate the inhalation device (104) to disperse the drug. The respiration flow and the drug are uniformly mixed while passing through a mixing unit (110) formed downstream to the mouth-throat model (102) and the breath simulator (106). The mixture is then received by a lung cast model (112) formed downstream to the mixing unit (110) to accommodate deposition of the drug.
