Publication number: 20130199521Abstract: The invention relates to a medical hand-held device, in particular an atomizer (1), for dispensing a liquid pharmaceutical preparation from a container. The pharmaceutical preparation can be based, for example, on an alcoholic solvent. The proposed atomizer has a discharge nozzle for the pharmaceutical preparation. Located upstream from the discharge nozzle (12d, 12e) there is a multiple-stage filter system, which is composed of at least three filtering components (27, 28, 12f). The filters differ from one another in terms of their filter threshold and their filter materials and/or filter effect. In particular, the use of a filter made of sintered metal is proposed in order to avoid penetration of particles into a microstructured component (12), which can also contain a very fine filter in front of the nozzle. Alternatively or in addition, it is also proposed to use an adsorption filter in the flow path between a coarse filter and the microstructured component.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2011Publication date: August 8, 2013Applicant: BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM INTERNATIONAL GmbHInventors: Matthias Hausmann, Steffen Schuy, Joachim Eicher, Johannes Geser, Martin Meisenheimer, Florian Witte

Patent number: 8479725Abstract: A nebulizer for a fluid which has a conveying tube for conveying fluid and a method for producing a thick-walled capillary. The conveying tube or the capillary is of multipart and/or double-walled construction, and in particular, is made up of a number of parts, such as an inner tube and an outer tube. This construction allows the device to be manufactured more easily and cheaply, in particular, when the inner diameters are very small.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2006Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Matthias Hausmann, Uwe Hegemann

Publication number: 20120174919Abstract: The invention relates to a high-pressure chamber for preferably atomizing or injecting metered amounts of fluid, such as pharmaceutical preparations. The components of the high-pressure chamber determining the strength thereof are made of a sintered metal body having plastic regions directly attached thereto. The plastic regions allow corrosion resistance and material compatibility of the interior of the high-pressure chamber and fluids placed under pressure therein. The shape of the sintered metal body provides the entire system with the rigidity required for high-pressure operation and with directly molded connection elements prescribing the type of connection to other components. The components of the high-pressure chamber determining the strength thereof are thereby deformed or crimped to each other, so that inexpensive and quick overall assembly processes are available.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2010Publication date: July 12, 2012Applicant: BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM INTERNATIONAL GMBHInventors: Matthias Hausmann, Thomas Wabnitz

Publication number: 20120132198Abstract: A reservoir and a nebuliser having such a reservoir are proposed. The reservoir comprises a closure for a fluid chamber with a medicament formulation that is formed by two closure members welded together. The closure comprises a particle barrier for preventing the ingress into the fluid chamber of any weld particles that may potentially be formed during the welding of the two closure members. The fluid chamber is preferably broadened in the shape of a beaver tail and is sealed lengthways with an additional strip of material.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2010Publication date: May 31, 2012Applicant: BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM INTERNATIONAL GMBHInventors: Matthias Hausmann, Carsten Henning, Heinrich Kladders

Patent number: 7950388Abstract: A nebuliser and a container in each case with an aeration device are proposed, the aeration device being designed for the direct aeration of a liquid space in the container. The container comprises a rigid, gas-tight outer case and a closure, which is opened by connecting or inserting a delivery element. A long storage life and long service life with low loss of fluid or solvent are thereby provided in the form of a simple and inexpensive construction.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2006Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Hubert Kunze, Matthias Hausmann, Jens Besseler, Carsten Henning, Heinrich Kladders, Florian Witte, Johannes Geser, Markus Mast, Antonino Lanci, Christoph Dworzak, Elmar Mock

Patent number: 7896264Abstract: A microstructured nozzle consists of a number of channels produced by microstructuring a plate-shaped member. In the nozzle the channels are located between projections which are arranged side by side in rows and project from a base plate. This microstructured base plate is covered with a cover plate. The channels are narrowly defined in terms of shape, cross sectional area and length. The nozzle contains a filter as the primary structure and a secondary structure downstream of the filter. The nozzle is used, for example, with an atomiser which produces an aerosol from a fluid containing a medicament.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2004Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Joachim Eicher, Johannes Geser, Matthias Hausmann, Holger Reinecke

Patent number: 7837235Abstract: A fluidic component is arranged in an elastomeric shaped part, the contour of which is matched to the outer contour of the component and to the inner contour of a holder. The elastomeric shaped part is chamfered towards the fluidic component on its pressure side. When the holder is assembled, the elastomeric shaped part is deformed by a projection provided on a mating part and is put under uniformly distributed internal tension, after which the elastomeric shaped part surrounds the fluidic component to its full height.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2005Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Johannes Geser, Matthias Hausmann

Patent number: 7802568Abstract: For meteredly dispensing a liquid over a period of several months from a container which can be stored over a long period of time, the need is for a container which is practically diffusion-tight and in which the liquid does not come into contact with the ambient atmosphere. The cartridge according to the invention is a three-shell container comprising a collapsible bag which contains the liquid, a container which is stable in respect of shape and a stiff metal casing. The cartridge can be releasably connected to a dispensing device. The cartridge can be provided with a micro-opening with which the time for pressure equalisation between the cartridge and the ambient atmosphere can be adjusted. The cartridge is suitable for aqueous and for alcoholic liquids which contain a pharmaceutically active substance. The liquid in the cartridge is protected from external influences. The cartridge can be used in an atomiser for producing an inhalable aerosol for the treatment of illnesses.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2005Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Joachim Eicher, Johannes Geser, Matthias Hausmann, Michael Schyra, Gilbert Wuttke, Andreas Fiol, Heinrich Kladders, Dieter Hochrainer, Bernd Zierenberg

Patent number: 7090093Abstract: For medical fluids, two-part containers are used which consist of an inner container and an outer container which is impenetrable to diffusion. The inner container collapses when the fluid is removed. For the purposes of pressure compensation between the gaseous space, disposed between the inner- and outer containers, and the surroundings of the two-part container, a pressure compensation device is required by means of which at the same time the loss of fluid through diffusion from the collapsible inner container is kept as little as possible. To that end, at least one channel is used which communicates the gas-filled intermediate space with the surroundings of the two-part container. The time constant for compensation of a pressure differential of a few millibars is within the region of quite a few hours. It is obtained by selecting the length of the channel and channel cross-section.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2004Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Dieter Hochrainer, Bernd Zierenberg, Heinrich Kladders, Martin Essing, Gilbert Wuttke, Matthias Hausmann, Joachim Eicher
