The Vertus I & II are ready-made flexible shake, fire and flow control systems for individual pMDI testing with ACI, NGI, DUSA, waste shot collectors and other devices.

Control all your test parameters

By using Vertus I or II, you can precisely control the test technique, including shaking profile, angle of fire, pauses between shaking and firing, resting position of inhaler, airflow control and leak test validation.

Conduct all your tests on one device

Both Vertus I & II are compatible with most inhalers and all standard dose collection devices (including NGI, ACI, DUSA and waste shot collectors).

Not only can you rely on Vertus to be compatible with the next test method you have to implement, but you can be consistent in your methodology and make direct comparisons between the devices.

Replicate test methods across different sites

If you need to do this work on more than one site, you can use Vertus I & II to ensure that test methods are replicated precisely.

Reduce the hassle and increase productivity

Both Vertus I & II will simplify and automate the awkward and time-consuming tasks involved in testing an inhaler

• Airflow control is automatic, fast and doesn’t require disconnection of any parts or human intervention.
• Leak test is automatic and doesn’t require disconnection of any parts. As well as saving time, leaks cannot be introduced between conducting the leak test and performing the inhaler test.
• When a run is underway, the analyst is free to go and do other work.
• For every run, the details of the run are recorded so any unexpected results can be investigated much more easily and quickly.
• Using Vertus is easier than doing this work by hand, so staff training is simpler and less qualified staff can do this work.
• Long tests can be run without human intervention. (For example, one of our customers uses Vertus to simulate an inhaler that is left on the bedside table overnight.)

What Makes Vertus II different?

Vertus II builds on the all the functionality of Vertus I.

What makes Vertus II is the ability to use the Waste Shot Collector (WaSC) stack. The addition of the WaSC stack enables the Vertus II to trap thousands of shots safely and conveniently. Fitted as standard, the WaSC stack elevates the performance of the Vertus II.

Vertus I – Showcased at DDL 2017

Vertus I was featured in the following Poster presentations at the Drug Delivery to the Lungs Conference (DDL) 2017 event in Edinburgh:

• An improved end-of-life performance for suspension pMDIs with Presspart plasma treated canisters by H&T Presspart Inhalation Product Technology Centre (Poster No 1)
• pMDI Uniformity of Delivered Dose Method Development using an Automated Dose Collection Apparatus by 3M Drug Delivery Systems Limited (Poster no 7)

Poster No 7 – Reproduced with the kind permission of 3M

It was another great DDL conference, read more.

Customer Testimony

“The Vertus I has allowed us to accurately simulate patient shaking and actuation procedures freeing up staff time and increasing our data output” – David Lewis, Head of Laboratory, Chiesi, UK

“The experience with Novi was very good! They are agile, helpful and did everything they could to help us. Chron Epigen only have praise for Novi and would like to thank everyone’s attention.” – Marcela Machado, Head of Production, Chron Epigen, Brazil
