The design of pressurized metered dose inhalers (MDI) used to assess asthma is variable. We have examined the aerosol spray flumes generated by four commercially available MDI products using high speed video photography. For this purpose a moulded jacket was designed which could hold the inhaler in an immovable position during actuation. Fresh inhalers were fitted in the jacket after thorough shaking and three successive actuations 30 s apart were filmed with a high speed video camera (200 frames s-1). The aerosol, ejected at high velocity into calm room air, was seen to have a 'jet' phase followed by a 'cloud' phase as a result of particle dispersion. Filming was continued till the flume could no longer be visualized on the TV monitor. High speed photography was used to record flumes seen on the video monitor, to enable characterization of flume appearance, dimensions and mean velocity.
