| 20080210228 | Monodose nasal sprayer - The sprayer device utilizes a friction held piston that fires automatically upon full depression of the firing cap. The drive spring does not release to fire the piston until after the spring is fully compressed because the force required to overcome the frictional force between said high friction engaging surface of the piston and the piston shaft is greater than the force required to compress said spring. A user may procure a monodose of medicine by (i) unlocking a child resistant locking mechanism; (ii) applying compressive force against the firing cap so as to first compress the spring and then to push the piston out of an piston engaging friction area such that the spring causes the distal end of the piston to break the medicine container to drive medicine through the spray nozzle in a manner that is user independent as to dosage amount and dosage speed of delivery. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080210229 | Manually operated monodose nasal sprayer - The sprayer device utilizes a friction held piston that fires automatically upon full depression of the firing cap. The drive spring does not release to fire the piston until after the spring is fully compressed because the force required to overcome the frictional force between said high friction engaging surface of the piston and the piston shaft is greater than the force required to compress said spring. A user may procure a monodose of medicine by (i) unlocking a child resistant locking mechanism; (ii) applying compressive force against the firing cap so as to first compress the spring and then to push the piston out of an piston engaging friction area such that the spring causes the distal end of the piston to break the medicine container to drive medicine through the spray nozzle in a manner that is user independent as to dosage amount and dosage speed of delivery. The device includes a child resistant outer locking mechanism being a tear away system including a connection means for connecting the firing cap to the central member. The device further includes a plurality of different length stops for metering the amount of medicine dispensed wherein there is a gauge on the device for selecting the desired medicine amount associated with the stop. There is disclosed a two cap plug cap on the proximal and distal ends of the medicine package which act as pistons. There is also a piercer attached to a proximal end of the monodose medicine package wherein when said piston is fired the piercer moves upwardly through the monodose medicine package to pierce the monodose medicine package and to drive medicine therefrom to and through said spray nozzle. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080264412 | AEROSOL DELIVERY SYSTEM - Ventilator circuit aerosol delivery systems used to administer medication to a patient are disclosed. In one implementation, a metered dose inhaler (“MDI”) ventilator assembly may include a housing that defines an interior space, an inhalation port that defines an inhalation passageway in communication with the interior space, an exhalation port that defines an exhalation passageway in communication with the interior space, a patient port that defines a patient passageway in communication with the interior space, and a MDI receptacle positioned on the housing and in communication with the interior space. The MDI receptacle is operative to receive a MDI container and dispense an aerosolized medication within the MID container into the interior space so that during inhalation, an inhalation flow including the aerosolized medication may flow through the inhalation port, the interior space, and the patient port. Conversely, during exhalation, gases, moisture, condensation, and/or mucus expelled from the patient flow through the patient port, the interior space, and the exhalation port. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090071470 | Emergency medication dose nebulizer - A conventional respiratory nebulizer has an emergency medication dose storage system conveniently useable in an emergency to deliver the stored medication dose directly to the nebulizing chamber quickly, reliably, and with a single impulse of manual force to a simple mechanical delivery system, thereby making the nebulizer useable in two steps: (a) deploy the medication with a single stroke of force; and (b) inhale the nebulized medication. The nebulizer can be operated without disassembling the nebulizer housing so as to expose the nebulizing chamber and without manually opening the liquid medication container and, without spillage and without manual pouring of the liquid medication directly into the nebulizing chamber, and without reassembling the nebulizer housing before positioning the inhaler mouthpiece in the mouth so as to inhale the nebulized medication. | 03-19-2009 |
