## The inhaler validation tester from MCD Elektronik verifies the mechanical and functional properties of inhalation systems.

Developed in collaboration with Dr. Wiesner, it enables precise measurements of force, angle, and service life under realistic conditions in the field of medical technology.

# Challenges and Concept

The validation tester is designed for the comprehensive mechanical and functional testing of inhalers. It monitors actuation cycles, measures actuation forces, and automatically records the results. In addition, it precisely measures locking mechanisms, torques, and actuation angles.

   The combination of force measurement, encoder technology, and automated analysis enables a reproducible assessment of component performance over its entire service life. This makes the system suitable for development, validation, and endurance testing.

# Scope of Testing and Functionality

A key component of the system is the service life testing of inhalers under realistic conditions. The tester simulates repeated actuation cycles while continuously recording relevant parameters such as force-displacement curves, torques, and angular movements.

The mechanical testing device is equipped with high-precision force measurement systems and rotary encoders to detect even the slightest changes in component behavior. This allows signs of wear to be identified early on and ensures product quality over the long term.

# Test Methods Used and Results

The system is based on the TestManager CE test software and a modular control architecture featuring a ULC multifunction card and a test sequencer. It is operated via a touchscreen PC, which allows for intuitive control of the test sequence.

All tests are performed and documented fully automatically, resulting in a tamper-proof database. The system was validated in collaboration with Dr. Wiesner, confirming its suitability for demanding applications in medical technology.
