10 Respiratory Drug Delivery Addressing the needs of patients, providers and pharmaceutical companies, Respiratory Drug Delivery (RDD) provides products and support that enable a variety of treatments via the respiratory system. RDD participates in the nebulizer and MDI spacer-device segments of the respiratory drug delivery market to aid with the treatment of Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Additionally, using Adaptive Aerosol Delivery (AAD) inhalation technology, we participate in the drug-specific segment of the respiratory market.aad technology delivers the right amount of medication to the patient regardless of size or breathing patterns, and monitors the patient s breathing throughout treatment. This approach is unique in managing inhalation therapy for patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and CF. RDD also assists pharmaceutical companies to develop new aerosol formulations for both respiratory and nonrespiratory conditions; we provide testing resources and conduct clinical trials to help validate and secure approval for promising aerosol therapies. RDD will continue to extend the capabilities of the aerosol drug delivery business so patients, providers and payers can realize the benefits that modern drug delivery to the respiratory pathway may offer. SideStream reusable and disposable nebulizers can be used with most commonly prescribed respiratory medications.they offer fast, efficient and economical drug delivery time after time. The MicroElite miniature, conveniently-portable jet nebulizer fits in the palm of your hand, delivers treatments in as little as eight minutes and nebulizes the same medications as larger compressor systems. 10 Home Healthcare Solutions

11 With our broad range of capabilities and focus on emerging opportunities, we strive to help improve the quality of people s lives and continue to raise the bar on clinical excellence at a lower cost. I-neb AAD gives true meaning to intelligent inhalation.
