Features relating to vaporizer device configurations related to dose consumption are provided. Aspects relate to configuring a vaporizer device with respect to providing feedback to a user with respect to dose consumption of one or more vaporizable materials being vaporized and inhaled by a user of a vaporizer device. The vaporizer device monitors dose consumption, based on at least applied energy amounts, and generates feedback in the form of a haptics pulse, an audio indication, a visual indication, or a combination thereof. A timer is used to determine if a dose falls within a series of doses or is part of a new series. A timeout period is used to stop or limit use following the completion of a series of doses. Data relating to the dose consumption and the series of doses may be stored on and associated with a cartridge, allowing for resumption of the dose consumption aspects.

A method of delivering safe, suitable, and repeatable dosages to a subject for topical, oral, nasal, or pulmonary use and a device for droplet ejection includes a fluid delivery system capable of delivering a defined volume of the fluid in the form of droplets having properties that afford adequate and repeatable high percentage deposition upon application. The method and device include a housing, a reservoir disposed within the housing for receiving a volume of fluid, an ejector mechanism configured to eject a stream of droplets having an average ejected droplet diameter greater than 15 microns, the stream of droplets having low entrained airflow such that the stream of droplets deposit on the eye of the subject during use.

An inhaler tracker module is secured to an inhaler and has an activation sensor for sensing use of the inhaler. The tracker module includes a memory for storing inhaler use data, and a communications component for wirelessly transmitting the stored inhaler use data. The tracker module is wrapped around the inhaler body and includes a pressure switch located at the top of the canister to detect a user pressing the canister into the body for inhaler use. The tracking module has a standby mode in which it remains until inhaler use or until inhaler use data is stored and it is transmitted. A pairing function is provided.

The mucus-removing device is adapted for use with a patient. The patient is further defined with a tracheostomy tube. The mucus-removing device is configured for use with the tracheostomy tube. The mucus-removing device generates a vacuum at the tracheostomy tube such that mucus is withdrawn from the pulmonary system through the tracheostomy tube and into the mucus-removing device. The mucus-removing device generates the vacuum at the tracheostomy for a fixed period of time. The periodic nature of the generation of the vacuum allows the patient to breath comfortably during the removal process. The mucus-removing device comprises a pump, a hose, a tracheostomy tube connector, and a control system. The hose attaches the pump to the tracheostomy tube connector. The tracheostomy tube connector attaches the mucus-removing device to the tracheostomy tube of the patient. The control system regulates the operation of the pump.

An electronic inhaler having an embedded system and a method for precise and repeatable delivery of multiple types of medications in different forms to the pulmonary system of a human user. The inhaler can include a housing defining an internal chamber for accommodating at least two cartridges (reservoirs) containing multiple medicines in different states, and a meter reservoir compartments that can automatically provide precise doses of medicine using vacuum pressure sensors. The sensors can be in communication with the internal embedded system/electronics (microcontroller) of the inhaler and the electronics/microcontroller can be in permanent communication with a software application running on the user's smart phone or other electronic device.

A nebulizer diffuser comprises a base, a nebulizer module, a power supply unit, at least one fluid container module, and a cover. The base comprises a conducting chamber comprising a first through hole, wherein the conducting chamber is for holding a first fluid; an accommodation space, wherein the conducting chamber is located above the accommodation space. The nebulizer module comprises an oscillator and a controller which manages the operation of the oscillator, wherein the oscillator is attached to the first through hole and the controller is disposed in the accommodation space. The power supply unit is disposed in the accommodation space and electrically connected to the nebulizer module. The at least one fluid container module comprises a fluid tank separably located on the conducting chamber and the fluid tank is for holding a second fluid. The cover separably covers on the fluid tank and an air chamber is formed thereinside.

The present invention provides a method for producing condensation aerosols for the treatment of disease and/or chronic, intermittent or acute conditions. These condensation aerosols are produced from drugs including temperature sensitive drugs and small molecule drugs that are coated onto a foil substrate which is heated via electrical resistance heating at precisely controlled temperature profiles with controllable ramp-up and heating rates to vaporize the coated drug which subsequently condenses to form aerosol particles. These condensation aerosols have little or no degradation products. Kits comprising a drug and a device for producing a condensation aerosol are also provided. Also disclosed, are methods for using these aerosols and kits and methods of making the aerosols.

An automated drug delivery and monitoring system for use on mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit is presented. Medication in the form of respirable particles is transported through ventilator circuitry by a delivery unit. Multiple medications may be delivered into the gas flow of the ventilator, with each medication delivered in a defined dose for a frequency and interval as specified by an operator. The particles mixed into the gas flow of the ventilator are inhaled and ingested by the patent's lungs.

A compliance monitoring module for a breath-actuated inhaler comprising: a miniature pressure sensor, a sensor port of said sensor being pneumatically coupled to a flow channel through which a user can inhale; a processor configured to: receive a signal originating from a dosing mechanism of the inhaler indicating that medication has been released; receive data from a sensing element of the sensor; and based on said signal from said dosing mechanism and said data from said sensing element, make a determination that inhalation of a breath containing medication through said flow channel complies with one or more predetermined requirements for successful dosing; and a transmitter configured to, responsive to said determination, issue a dosing report.
