PROTECTION OF OXYGEN SENSITIVE COMPOUNDS
Provided is a packaging system for an oxygen-sensitive compound (a drug, such as DHE, or an excipient such as exametazime), the system including a container, a self-activated oxygen scavenger (including an iron-based or non-iron based) and an oxygen-impermeable enclosure (e.g., an aluminum pouch). Also provided is a method of producing an oxygen-sensitive compound.
Dry powder nebulizer
A dry powder delivery device may be configured to provide micronized dry powder particles to airways of a user. The device may include a cylindrical container delimiting a chamber containing at least one magnetically-responsive object, a motor external to said chamber, a magnet external to the chamber and rotatably coupled with the motor, and an outflow member configured to direct airflow to a user. The magnetically-responsive object may be coated with micronized dry powder particles, and the motor may be operable to rotate the magnet about an axis. Rotation of the magnet creates a magnetic field that causes the magnetically-responsive object to move in response to the magnetic field and collide with a side wall of the container to deaggregate the dry powder particles and aerosolize the dry powder in the chamber.
NEBULIZER DEVICE AND NOZZLE MODULE
A nebulizer device and a nozzle module are provided. The nebulizer device includes a nebulizer module, the nozzle module, and a control module. The nozzle module includes a main body unit and a guide unit. The main body unit can be detachably connected to the nebulizer module. The main body unit has a plurality of openings penetratingly formed therethrough, an accommodating space, and an output part, and the openings and the output part are in spatial communication with the accommodating space. The main body unit corresponds to an inner wall of the accommodating space and protrudes toward the accommodating space to form a plurality of guiding parts, and each of the guiding parts is adjacent to one of the openings. The guide unit is disposed in the accommodating space and has a recessed part. The control module can be detachably connected to the main body unit.
Method for administering an inhalable compound
A method may include dispensing a dose of an inhalable compound according to a dosing instruction set; and maintaining a hands-free article for dispensing the inhalable compound in an operable dispensing position.
AUTOMATIC DISPENSER FOR RESPIRATORY DELIVERY DEVICE AND METHOD
The present invention provides a particulate delivery device with an automatic activation mechanism that pierces or cuts a composition capsule when a cap is removed. The cap cannot be replaced once the device is activated for use. The device allows for gas flow through the device from a gas inlet to a gas outlet through a composition receptacle and dispersion chamber to deliver particulate to the airway of a subject.
AEROSOL DISPENSERS AND CONTAINERS AND HEADS FOR SUCH CONTAINERS
Heads for an aerosol container are disclosed. The head comprises a handle body having a base configured to be coupled to the aerosol container, an outlet, a flexible tube housed within the handle body. The flexible tube is configured to provide fluid communication between the container exit of the aerosol container and the outlet. And the head further comprises an elastically deformable actuator comprising a lever arm, and a coupling portion integrally formed with the lever arm and configured to be mounted around the flexible tube, wherein the coupling portion is further configured such that when the lever arm is deformed by a user, the coupling portion actuates on the valve body of the aerosol container. Aerosol containers comprising such heads and kits for treatments skin lesions are also disclosed.
Devices, systems, and methods for adherence monitoring and devices, systems, and methods for monitoring use of consumable dispensers
Devices, systems, and methods are provided for adherence monitoring, and devices, systems, and methods are provided for monitoring use of consumable dispensers. In general, the devices, systems, and methods can facilitate an individual's adherence to a schedule for consuming consumables and can facilitate monitoring and tracking of the individual's adherence to the schedule. The devices, systems, and methods can allow data regarding the individual's historical adherence to the schedule to be accessible via a computer system. In one embodiment, an accessory is provided that can be configured to attach to consumable dispensers. The accessory can be configured to be removably and replaceably coupled to the dispenser. The accessory can be configured to provide a notification to a user indicating that a certain event occurred and/or that a certain action needs to be taken. The accessory can be configured to sense attachment thereof to and removal thereof from the dispenser.
Multifunction oxygen mask
A multifunction oxygen mask comprises a mask body and a gas delivery adapter. A nasal chamber is formed in the upper portion of the mask body. An access aperture is formed through and adjacent to a lower portion of the mask body. The access aperture permits access to the mouth of a patient. The gas delivery adapter includes a first end coupled to a gas delivery adapter aperture of the mask body. An oxygen supply port radially extends outward from the gas delivery adapter. The oxygen supply port includes an external inlet portion, an outlet portion positioned within the gas delivery adapter, and a diverter member adjacent to the outlet portion. The diverter member is configured to direct a flow towards the first end of the gas delivery adapter. A meter-dose inhaler port radially extends outward from the gas delivery adapter. The gas delivery adapter includes a nebulizer port.
FLUID DISPENSING DEVICE
The disclosure relates to a fluid dispensing device including a housing, a mechanical biasing member, a closure, and a safety arrangement. The housing is configured to accommodate at least a portion of a spray delivery device and an outlet through which the fluid stored in the spray delivery device can be discharged. The mechanical biasing member is reversibly transferable between a pre-loaded state and an unloaded state and configured to store mechanical energy in the pre-loaded state effective to produce a spray discharge of the spray delivery device. The closure is fixable to the housing and movable relative to the housing between a closed position and an open position, wherein when in the open position the container of the spray delivery device is accessible from outside the housing. The movement of the closure is controlled by the safety arrangement.
Aerosol hydogen peroxide mixture with trigger sprayer
An aerosol hydrogen peroxide mixture agent with trigger sprayer that can be easily held in one hand. The hydrogen peroxide agent is in a bag inside a can and under pressure from air or nitrogen or mixture thereof, and can only be initially opened and released by pulling the tab of the trigger sprayer. The trigger assembly cannot be sprayed until the tab is pulled. The can is cylindrical canister housing and has a dip tube that goes to the bag of the can to the hydrogen peroxide mixture agent. There is propellant composed of air or nitrogen or mixture thereof in the can that pushes on the bag holding the hydrogen peroxide mixture agent up through the dip tube to the valve operative and then to the actuator stem up through the trigger sprayer.
