Testing Procedure

5.1 Sample Preparation 5.1.1 Three samples of the Feellife Air Angel Portable Mesh Nebulizer have

been provided for testing. Each sample device will be tested once with albuterol sulfate. The Feellife Air Angel will be tested after being charged for 24 hours.

5.2 Aerosol Testing. 5.2.1 The samples shall be tested with albuterol sulfate (2.5 mg/3 ml). There

shall be one aerosol test for each sample, for a total of three aerosol tests.

5.2.2 The nebulizer shall be operated as described in product insert. 5.2.3 Sampling with the cascade impactor shall begin immediately prior to

turning on nebulizer. The cascade impactor shall be equipped with a USP throat and run at a continuous flow of 28 l/min. Sampling with the cascade impactor shall continue for the entire treatment. Treatment time will be measured and treatment will be determined to have ceased when visual indication of aerosol production has ceased for a period of at least 1 second.

5.2.4 Upon completion of simulated nebulizer treatment, turn off nebulizer. Disassemble cascade impactor and place specimen plates and membrane filter for each stage of the cascade impactor into different specimen containers.

5.2.5 Place 10 mL of distilled water into each specimen container. Obtain concentration readings using spectrophotometer for each cascade impactor stage. Calculate the mass of drug deposited on each cascade impactor stage.

5.2.6 Enter cascade impactor data into cascade impactor spread sheet, plot accumulated mass percents on log-log paper. Determine expulsion, MMAD, GSD, respirable dose (0.5 to 5 microns) using standard cascade impactor data analysis techniques (SOP-e-129).

5.2.7 Tabulate data.
