The distribution of particle size and aerosol output are measured with 2.5% NaF aqueous solution.
The particle size distribution and aerosol output may vary by combination of product, medication
and ambient conditions such as temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure.
Performance may vary with the mesh and medication used such as suspensions or high viscosity.
See medication supplier's data sheet for further details.
