Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Whether breath-actuation nebulizer delivers higher inhaled drug dose, resulting in higher urine drug concentrations compared to continuous nebulization.
* Whether the different nebulizer modes deliver inhaled drug resulting in different effects on physiological parameters, including heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen saturation.
Participants will
* Inhale one dose (2.5mg) of salbutamol via continuous vs. breath-actuated nebulize mode.
* collect urine samples at multiple timepoints before and after nebulization to quantify drug elimination.
Researchers will compare the continuous and breath-actuated modes of vibrating mesh nebulizers to determine if breath-actuation improves drug delivery efficiency compared to continuous nebulization.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This is a crossover study comparing two different nebulizer modes: continuous vibrating mesh nebulizer (cVMN, Microbase Inc.) vs. breath-actuated vibrating mesh nebulizer (bVMN, Microbase plus an actuated system) for bronchodilator delivery in 30 healthy volunteers. The primary objective is to compare urinary drug concentrations after inhalation between the two nebulizer modes to confirm an equivalent inhaled dose. Secondary objectives is to evaluate device safety based on vital sign changes and compare environmental drug particle concentrations between nebulizer modes.
Endpoints
The primary pharmacokinetic endpoint is urinary drug (salbutamol) concentration over 24 hours following nebulization with each mode. Secondary endpoints include pre- and post-nebulization vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, Saturation).
Study Procedures
Participants meeting the eligibility criteria will be assigned either to the continuous vibrating mesh nebulizer (cVMN) or the breath-actuated vibrating mesh nebulizer (bVMN). At visit 1, a baseline urine sample will be collected, followed by nebulization with a 0.5-unit dose (2.5 mg/1.25 mL salbutamol). Participants will inhale with normal tidal breathing for up to 5 minutes until the aerosol is visually seen. Vital signs will be continuously monitored every 5 minutes until 30 minutes after nebulization. Environmental particle concentration will be continuously measured by an aerosol spectrometer. Urine samples will be obtained 30 minutes before, 30 minutes after, and 24 hours post-nebulization. Visit 2 will follow identical procedures with the alternate nebulizer mode after a 1-week washout period.
Device Details
The cVMN is a commercially available continuous vibrating mesh nebulizer registered with the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (device number 004561). The bVMN system incorporates a proprietary trigger module to enable breath-actuated delivery synchronized during inspiration. This module includes microphone detection during inspiration and expiration phases, along with software control of nebulization activation. Both devices utilize the same core nebulizer hardware and mesh component for aerosol generation.
Data Collection and Statistics
Urine samples will be extracted and analysis by HPLC to quantify salbutamol levels. Statistical analysis will include paired t-tests or nonparametric tests as appropriate to compare pharmacokinetic parameters, environmental concentrations, and vital signs changes between the two nebulize modes. Linear regression will also correlate urinary drug levels with nominal dose. The level of significance will be p\<0.05.

Study Groups

continuous vibrating mesh nebulization (cVMN)
Participants will inhale 2.5 mg salbutamol (from a 0.5 unit dose vial of Saldolin Inhalation Solution, Taiwan FDA approval number 043572) via the commercially available vibrating mesh nebulizer (Microbase, model number MBPN002). The device continuously generates aerosol throughout the respiratory cycle. Participants are encouraged to breathe with normal tidal breathing for up to 5 minutes until no aerosol is visually seen. No repeat or additional dosing is utilized.
Continuous vibrating mesh nebulizer
When the continuous vibrating mesh nebulizer powered on, the micro-pump chip provides sustained vibrations onto the aperture plate, forcing fluid through micron-scale pores under pressure to continuously produce aerosol throughout inspiration and expiration phase.
Breath-actuated vibrating mesh nebulizer (bVMN)
Participants will inhale 2.5 mg salbutamol (from a 0.5 unit dose vial of Saldolin Inhalation Solution, Taiwan FDA approval number 043572) via the commercially available vibrating mesh nebulizer (Microbase, model number MBPN002) with trigger module attachment. This device utilizes a microphone and algorithm to detect the inspiration to activate aerosol generation during period of inspiration only. Participants are encouraged to breathe with normal tidal breathing for up to 5 minutes until no aerosol is visually seen. No repeat or additional dosing is utilized.
Breath-actuated vibrating mesh nebulizer
The intervention utilizes a breath-actuated vibrating mesh nebulizer system consisting of a controller module with microphone for respiratory phase detection and algorithm for inspiration triggering. This interfaces with the vibrating mesh nebulizer module which incorporates a micro-pump chip using piezoelectric effects to eject fluid through a mesh aperture plate holes. By detecting the onset of inspiration based on characteristic acoustic patterns using machine learning models, the controller module sends signals activating the piezoelectric vibration mechanism to generate aerosol only during the inspiratory phase through precision timing control, shutting off mist during expiration. The core module is attached to a standard commercial vibrating mesh nebulizer using the standard adult reusable mouthpiece interface.
