Comparison of aerosol delivery from two inhaler technique-guidance devices.

Conclusions: FTCR reduced throat (IP) deposition; CT did not. FTCR is providing mini-spacer functionality which has regulatory implications. CT, which locates ahead of the point of aerosol generation, does not change delivery and is therefore potentially regulatable with in vitro data.
