Innovative Technology

AKITA® JET’s FAVORITE Technology actively regulates inspiration flow as well as inhalation volume. Optimal inhalation patterns can thus be guided and controlled according to therapeutic requirements and the patient’s individual condition. The drug can thus be delivered to the patient’s lungs in an optimal manner and unwanted deposition in the throat is minimized.

FAVORITE offers clear advantages in comparison to conventional inhalation systems – significantly improved utilization of the drug, better reprodu-cibility of lung dosage and targeted deposition of the drug into even the smallest respiratory areas.

The key to successful inhalation therapy

Slow Inspiration and High Inhalation Volume

The AKITA® concept: High deposition through the electronic control of inspiration flow and volume

Ω Inhaling a drug with an optimal particle size does not guarantee sufficient deposition within the lungs. In addition, a patient’s breathing pattern is crucial – the full potency of an inhaled drug can only be reached with slow inspiration flow and a high inhalation volume.

Ω With FAVORITE, the AKITA® JET can electronically regulate both inspiration flow and inhalation volume. This guarantees that these parameters will always be maintained within an optimal range and also ensures a higher drug deposition in the lungs.

Everything that conventional inhalation systems can’t deliver

Reproducibility and Higher Lung Deposition

AKITA® JET guarantees optimal inhalation

Ω Patients with lung disease generally have variable and sub-optimal breathing patterns, which can negatively affect lung deposition. Conventional inhalation devices are unable to compensate for such complications, as inhalation can occur too quickly (increased inspiration flow) and for an insufficient length

of time (reduced inhalation volume).

Ω FAVORITE resolves this problem – the administration of drug aerosol ensures controlled breathing and optimized inhalation maneuvers. In addition to a higher deposition, FAVORITE maintains low dosage variability and exact reproducibility of the patient’s daily required dose of drugs.

Effective strategies for patients with pulmonary obstructions

Controlled Respiration with Over Pressure

Ω Even inhalation with optimized inspiration and volume can be limited when specific areas of the lung are inaccessible due to obstruction. Special physiotherapeutic procedures, such as pausing during respiration, may help to improve respiration.

Ω AKITA® JET’s FAVORITE concept offers patients with COPD the advantage of flow and volume-controlled respiration using over pressure. The slight increase in pressure is required in order to efficiently deliver the drug to less ventilated areas in the lungs.

FAVORITE Inhalation

Delivering Drugs to the Lower Airways

Ω For certain lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis or α1-antitrypsin deficiency, the alveoli must be targeted in order to ensure adequate inhalation therapy. Drug deposition in the alveoli not only depends on a patient’s laryngeal or upper airway morphology, but also on the drug’s particle size as well as inspiration flow and volume.

rate of 200 cm3/s.

Ω The AKITA® JET inhalation system fulfills the exact requirements needed in order to deliver the maximum amount of drug aerosol to the alveoli. Flow and volume-controlled inhalation shows a clear superiority in peripheral alveolar deposition compared to conventional nebulizers.

“Drug Targeting”

Therapy for Predefined Areas of the Lung

Ω FAVORITE allows continuous control of both aerosolized drugs and air during the inhalation process. Pre-defined variation of the pattern of the drug and air bolus means that the drug deposition can be navigated into either the smaller air ways or into the central air ways. Depending on the treatment requirements, this location of drug deposition control helps to use drugs more specifically – they can be deposited directly at the place of action, a process called “Drug Targeting”.

“Drug Targeting” via

continuous control of

aerosolized drugs and air.

Ω For the very first time, precise pulmonary “Drug Targeting” is now possible for inhalation therapy in combination with AKITA® JET – depending on the drug and therapeutic goal, drug deposition can easily be adjusted.

Ω The central air ways are targets for bronchiodilating drugs – the systemic entry of the drug and subsequent side effects can be avoided by introducing an air bolus into the alveoli beforehand.

Ω The peripheral airways are targets for the inhalation of substances such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. Following inhalation of the aerosolized drug, a small air bolus pushes the aerosol into the obstructed airways.

Ω AKITA® JET has several advantages, particularly for drugs with a narrow therapeutic window and high risk of side effects, e.g. antibiotics.

Ω The inhaled lung dosage can be easily reproduced with low variability.

Ω Slow regulated inhalation of the aerosolized drug helps significantly reduce throat deposition and avoid potential side effects, such as bronchospasms.

Ω With FAVORITE, nebulization occurs only during inspiration – when combined with AKITA® JET and controlled breathing techniques, FAVORITE inhalation allows for expensive drugs to be used fully and efficiently.

AKITA® JET – an investment that quickly pays off by saving expensive drugs

Ω In comparison to conventional nebulizers, AKITA® JET can provide equivalent lung dosing with a significantly reduced input dose, allowing for a 50% reduction in drug investment depending on the drug. Using AKITA® JET for the inhalation of high-dose Tobramycin could save patients more than €1.000 per month (based on average market prices in Europe).

Ω Mesh nebulizers create large amounts of drug aerosol, which allows for a shorter treatment period. However, the quality of this kind of inhalation is questionable. When continuous aerosol nebulization is combined with sub- optimal and variable inspiration, a large amount of the drug is often wasted and the inhaled drug deposition can vary widely.

Ω The AKITA® JET inhalation system uses a reliable and robust jet nebulizer technology for aerosol generation. In comparison with a jet nebulizer using a normal compressor, a jet ne-bulizer combined with AKITA® JET significantly decreases inhalation time. Each inspiration with AKITA® JET is highly efficient with regard to the amount of drug deposited in the lungs per breath, meaning that fewer breaths are needed in order to reach the required dosage. AKITA® JET also decreases the inhaled treat-ment time typically required for high volume drug formulations to just under 10 minutes.

Ω AKITA® JET’s outstanding efficacy ensures that a higher drug dose can be deposited into the lungs. A drug deposition of 75% not only shows efficient use of the drug, but it also shows that only a minimal amount is deposited in the throat – thus, a higher lung dose is possible without raising the risk of possible negative side effects.

Ω With a normal 2 mg/2ml dose of Fluticasone, AKITA® JET can achieve a lung dose four times higher than normal as compared to conventio-nal nebulizers and nine times more than with a Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI). AKITA® JET deposits 75% of the dose measured at the mouthpiece into the lungs, whereas conventional nebulizers only reach a deposition rate of 39% and DPI’s only 26%.

– 44,5 % NO-Exalat

+ 17,2 % FEV1

– 33,2 % Dose reduction of oral steroids

Ω 112 severe asthma patients with a need for permanent treatment with oral corticosteroids received a high dose of inhaled Fluticasone as an add-on therapy using AKITA® JET. The retrospective data analysis showed significant improvements after three weeks. Lung function improved on average by 17%, the need for oral corticosteroids could be reduced by 30% and NO-measurements showed that pulmonary inflammation wasreduced by 40%.

Ω Because of this promising data, ACTIVAERO has initiated a clinical program to validate this therapeutic approach. A first ramdomized, double blind, placebo-controlled multi-centre study is underway.

Ω The first clinical data with Fluticasone give an outlook how the high dose inhalation with AKITA JET could be used to develop new treatment regimes in the future. ACTIVAERO’S intends to achieve an improved clinical response and a reduction in systemic treatment and prevention of related side effects. In Asthma, for example, the long-term use of systemic

corticosteroids carries safety risks such as osteoporosis and diabetes.

The SMART CARD

Specific Therapy Control

Ω The SMART CARD is an electronic chip card that provides and controls all relevant therapy parameters, such as the drug and dosage-specific inhalation information for AKITA® JET. Furthermore, all treatment data can be stored on the SMART CARD. This allows physicians, physiotherapists and patients to optimize the therapy using a computer-based compliance analysis.

Drug-specificOne SMART CARD per drug and dosage e.g. Colistin antibiotic– starting dose 1 Mio. IE Colistin in 3 ml solvent.

The improved SMART CARD CONCEPT – simple, flexible, drug-specific and patient-focused

Adapted to the patientThe AKITA® Display allows the patient to quickly and effectively adapt inhalation time per breath to his or her own inhalation capabilities – the chosen inhalation time determines the inhalation volume per breath.

Ω There is one SMART CARD for each drug and dosage and this determines the exact drug dose and deposition area in the lung. A patient can control the SMART CARD via the AKITA® JET display. The patient can select their breathing capacity by selecting their personal inspiration time or volume – a measurement of lung function can provide a recommendation for this setting. Based on this patient-specific information, the AKITA® JET calculates the number of breaths necessary to inhale the required lung dose. The treatment automatically finishes when the complete lung dose has been inhaled – in this way, under and over dosing can be prevented.
