Since 2010, six inhaled medicinal products which are administered via eFlow® Technology nebulizers have been approved by regulatory authorities whether in the US, Europe, Canada or Japan. PARI contributed to such filings with its expertise in medical device regulatory affairs. Following PARI’s tradition, eFlow Technology nebulizers are manufactured according to the highest quality standards. Frequent and recurrent quality system audits by our pharma partners confirm this year after year.

PARI´s track record – drug products approved with an eFlow Technology nebulizer in the US, EU, Canada or Japan (please note the approval for each drug)
The Lamira Nebulizer System is specifically optimized for the administration of Insmed’s ARIKAYCE. Insmed is a global biopharmaceutical company headquartered in the USA.
ARIKAYCE (amikacin liposome inhalation suspension) was approved in the USA in 2018 for the treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options. It is the only FDA-approved treatment for this patient population.
This was followed by the approval of ARIKAYCE Liposomal 590 mg Nebuliser Dispersion in the EU in October 2020. It’s the first inhaled liposomal dispersion approved by the European Commission and the first and only therapy in the European Union indicated for the treatment of non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infections caused by MAC in adults with limited treatment options who do not have cystic fibrosis.
In 2021, approval was also granted in Japan. The Lamira Nebulizer System has been authorized as a medical device by submitting the manufacturing and marketing notification to be used for the delivery of ARIKAYCE (amikacin liposomal inhalation suspension), which has been separately approved by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW). Thus, ARIKAYCE is the first and only therapy in Japan indicated for the treatment of patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment with a multidrug regimen. The Lamira Nebulizer System in Japan is also approved for reimbursement by the Central Social Insurance Medical Council (Chuikyo).
ARIKAYCE has been associated with an increased risk of respiratory adverse reactions, including hypersensitivity pneumonitis, hemoptysis, bronchospasm, and exacerbation of underlying pulmonary disease that have led to hospitalizations in some cases.
