AKITA SYSTEM
Product Summary
The AKITA JET is the only
inhalation system that belongs to the class of controlled dose inhalation drug
delivery systems. With Activaero’s innovative and proprietary FAVORITE approach
at its core, the AKITA JET inhalation system is unique and allows respiratory
medications to unfold their full therapeutic potential.The FAVORITE approach is
special because it enables a drug bolus inhalation combined at the same time
with the active regulation of inspiration flow with a personalized inhalation
volume setting.Consequently, optimal inhalation patterns can be achieved on a
patient-by-patient basis according to therapeutic requirements and a patient’s
individual condition. In contrast to customary off-the-shelf nebulizers, the
AKITA JET inhalation system transports the prescribed respiratory drug to a
patient’s lungs safely and effectively without the undesirable side effects
caused by high throat deposition.
Therapeutic
Features
The AKITA JET inhalation system was designed and developed for
patients with lung diseases and their regular, self-directed drug inhalation –
therefore the main focus during development was put on three device
characteristics - simplicity, efficiency and safety.
Simplicity
Typically, patients use their
AKITA JET inhalation system for daily, multiple inhalation therapy cycles. This
requires proper cleaning and disinfection. Therefore, the simple and convenient
use for patients is a must.
Just 2 buttons &
functions

Efficiency
The AKITA JET inhalation system eliminates almost all of the problems
commonly associated with aerosol inhalation - sub-optimal breathing and drug
deposition in the small airways during the inhalation phase and inefficient
drug use through loss of aerosol during the exhalation phase.
The outstanding efficiency of the AKITA JET inhalation system provides
distinguished, clinically and commercially validated benefits:
- Precise drug distribution across the entire lung and deep down into the small airways.
- Optimal efficacy at the site of action
- Highly reliable lung dose reproducibility
- Significantly less side effect
- Undisputed safety
Safety
Precise and reproducible dosing of a respiratory drug is crucial –
especially for drugs with a narrow therapeutic window including but not limited
to antibiotics. Here the AKITA JET inhalation system offers features to assure
a safe and effective therapy:
- No wrong device setting possible
- Every inhalation volume setting delivers the same lung dose
- No overdosing possible - device automatically concludes therapy once required dose is inhaled
- Monitored compliance - therapy data logged on SMART CARD to enable compliance analysis and therapy optimization.
About SMART CARD
CARD is an electronic chip card that provides and controls all relevant
therapy parameters for inhalation with the AKITA JET inhalation system. Each
SMART CARD is drug- and dose-specifically programmed and will be prescribed by
the doctor together with the respective medication. Through the SMART CARD
concept, patients are able to adapt their treatment to their personal status
while doctors are able to monitor the therapy.
Drug and dosage-specific inhalation
Based on durg- and dose- specific information provided by the SMART CARD the AKITA JET inhalation system
automatically calculates the number of breaths necessary to inhale the required
lung dose. The patient receives this information via the user display on the
device together with constant feedback on the patient’s performance of his/her
inhalation process. Every inhalation cycle is automatically finished when the
complete, prescribed lung dose is Inhaled by the patient.
Under- and over-dosing is not possible.
Patient status-specific inhalation
The
SMART CARD also permits patients to enjoy an individualized inhalation therapy
based on their pulmonary status/lung function. Physicians or patients can
easily and safely set the AKITA JET inhalation system according to their
breathing capacity by selecting the patient’s preferred inspiration time or
inhalation volume. A good starting point and reference is typically provided by
an FEV1 lung function test.
In the end however, it does not matter which settings the patient chooses,
he or she will always receive the same dose. Only the inhalation process to
achieve the particular dose is individualized so that the patient experiences
the most comfortable inhalation cycle and has no problems with compliance.
Compliance-controlled
inhalation
Therapeutic
success is measurable with the AKITA JET inhalation system - the SMART CARD
saves and safely stores a patient’s therapeutic data for PC-based
compliance/therapy analysis.
Compliance/therapy analysis is not only important in clinical studies, but also
in daily therapeutic practice, since it empowers doctors and patients to
jointly analyze and optimize treatment.
Compliance/therapy analysis via SMART CARD provides the following
information:
- Number of breaths per treatment.
- Duration of treatment
- Timing of inhalation, e.g. mornings, evenings
- Inhaled drug dose, e.g. overall dose, seven-day dose
