Disclosed is a medicament dispenser (1) for delivering a medicament (9, 53) to a user (2), the medical dispenser (1) comprising one or more internal storages (3, 52) for storing one or more medicaments (9, 53); a dispensing unit (10, 101) configured to access said one or more internal storages (3, 52) and dispense the medicament (9; 53) based on a predefined dispensing protocol (18); a control unit (13) comprising a user recognition unit (12, 19), adapted to collect user authentication data (76); and a communication module (14), configured to send/receive said user authentication data (76) and a delivery control data (16) associated to said predefined dispensing protocol (18) to/from a remote server (15); wherein said control unit 5 (13) is configured to enable/disable said dispensing unit (10, 101) based on said user authentication data (76) and said delivery control data (16). Also disclosed is a medicament re-filling apparatus (32) for the use with a medicament dispenser (1) upon authentication and validation of its user (2) condition.

The operational parameters of a respiratory apparatus can be controlled through the use of a user interface located on a separate or separable mobile computing device. Sensors or features located on the mobile computing apparatus can be used to adjust the operation parameters or therapy of the respiratory apparatus or otherwise improve the compliance of a patient utilizing the respiratory apparatus.

A nasal droplet delivery device and related methods for delivering precise and repeatable dosages to a subject via the nasal passageways and sinus cavities.

Methods and apparatus provide communications among respiratory therapy device (“TD”), server and intermediary (e.g., a control device (“CTLD”) for the therapy device) to improve security. More secure communication channel(s) may be established using shared secrets derived with different channels. The communications may include transmitting therapy data from TD to server for authentication. The CTLD may receive the data and a nonce from a server. The CTLD receives from the TD a signing key dependent on the nonce and a secret shared by TD and server. The CTLD generates an authorisation code with received therapy data and the key for authentication of the data by the server upon its receipt of the code and data. The server computes (1) a key from the nonce and the secret known to TD, and (2) another authorisation code from received therapy data and the key. Data authentication may involve comparing received and computed codes.

The invention relates to an inhaler, particularly an electronic cigarette product, comprising at least one evaporator device having at least one electrical evaporator for evaporating liquid supplied to the evaporator and an electronic control device for controlling and/or regulating the evaporator. A plurality of liquids are associated or can be associated with the evaporator device in such a way that the composition and/or the vapour production rate of the vapour/aerosol produced by the at least one evaporator can be adjusted and/or modified in a targeted manner, as the control device is designed for individual control of the at least one or each individual evaporator and/or for group control of the evaporators.

The principles and embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and systems for safely providing NO to a recipient for inhalation therapy. There are many potential safety issues that may arise from using a reactor cartridge that converts NO.sub.2 to NO, including exhaustion of consumable reactants of the cartridge reactor. Accordingly, various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods of determining the remaining useful life of a NO.sub.2-to-NO reactor cartridge and/or a breakthrough of NO.sub.2, and providing an indication of the remaining useful life and/or breakthrough.

The invention relates to a concentrate container adapter for use in a blood treatment device, in particular a dialysis machine. The concentrate container adapter has a fastening body (1) on which a concentrate bag is able to be fastened, wherein the fastening body (1) has a filling opening (11) and two connection openings (12a, 12b) lying laterally on opposite sides of the filling opening (11), a housing receiving region (13) on the fastening body (1), which is arranged in such a way that by means of the housing receiving region (13) the concentrate container adapter is able to be mounted on a connector housing (10), wherein the housing receiving region (13) is arranged externally on the material which is forming the openings.

A vaporization and inhalation apparatus comprising a cartridge container configured to receive a cartridge including a liquid. The apparatus includes a heating element configured to heat the liquid to a point of vaporization to generate a vaporized form of the liquid. The apparatus also includes an outlet port through which the vaporized form of the liquid is inhaled.

A medical device includes a first housing portion (FHP) and a second housing portion (SHP) configured to be to be movable relative to each other from a first position to operatively engage at a second position to couple at least one of a drive device and a needle-inserting device supported by one of the FHP and the SHP to a reservoir supported by the other of the FHP and the SHP. Electronic circuitry configured to detect at least one of a first magnetic interaction between a magnet and at least one of a first magnetically attractive material and a first magnet-responsive device and a second magnetic interaction between the magnet and at least one of a second magnetically attractive material and a second magnet-responsive device, and to provide a signal or a change in state in response to detecting at least one of the interactions.

Systems and methods for pumping milk from a breast, wherein the milk is expressed from the breast under suction and milk is expulsed from the pumping mechanism to a collection container under positive pressure.
