Abstract: The invention relates to a simulated fragmentation grenade that can be rearmed for reuse, comprising a fixed part attached to springs acting on plates that move between an inner position and an outer position, an axial mobile part passing through the fixed part, the axial mobile part being pushed upwards by a spring, and being axially extended in the upper portion by a rod that is rotatably actuated by a mechanism, the rod being attached to a control casing arranged on the outside such that it can move axially and rotationally on a central extension of the body of the grenade, the axial mobile part having retention means for retaining the plates in the inner position, for releasing that retention according to the movement of the axial mobile part.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of selecting a nebulizer device to be used to deliver a vaccine comprising selecting a nebulizer capable of producing a plurality of vaccine particles having the following particle droplet size distribution: (i) Dv10: 2.0+/?0.2 ?m (ii) Dv50: 5.0+/?0.5 ?m (iii) Dv90: 10.0+/?1.0 ?m (iv) a mean mass aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of 4.5 to 8.0 ?m This allows the selection of, for example, commercially available nebulizers, previously used for drug delivery, for vaccine delivery. This considerably reduces the work required to identify suitable nebulizers. Nebulizers identified by the methods of the invention are also claimed.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of selecting a nebuliser device to be used to deliver a vaccine comprising selecting a nebuliser capable of producing a plurality of vaccine particles having the following particle droplet size distribution: (i) Dv10: 2.0+/?0.2 ?m (ii) Dv50: 5.0+/?0.5 ?m (iii) Dv90: 10.0+/?1.0 ?m (iv) a mean mass aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of 4.5 to 8.0 ?m This allows the selection of, for example, commercially available nebulisers, previously used for drug delivery, for vaccine delivery. This considerably reduces the work required to identify suitable nebulisers. Nebulisers identified by the methods of the invention are also claimed.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of selecting or optimising a nebuliser device to be used to deliver a vaccine comprising selecting a nebuliser capable of producing a plurality of vaccine particles having the following particle droplet size distribution: (i) Dv10: 2.0+/?0.2 ?m (ii) Dv50: 5.0+/?0.5 ?m (iii) Dv90: 10.0+/?1.0 ?m (iv) a mean mass aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of 4.5 to 8.0 ?m This allows the selection of, for example, commercially available nebulisers, previously used for drug delivery, for vaccine delivery. This considerably reduces the work required to identify suitable nebulisers. The additional preferred features are disclosed for the selection of nebulisers for use in mass vaccination programs. Nebulisers identified by the methods of the invention are also claimed.
