Publication number: 20230001112Abstract: Described herein are an interactive apparatus and methods for sensing and measuring real-time characteristic patterns of a subject's use of a dry powder inhalation system. The inhaler device can be used in a wireless communication mode to communicate with a display to assess the subject's usage of the inhalation system concurrently as the inhalation is performed and thus the subject's inhalation can be evaluated as well as the performance of the inhalation system. The system can also detect the identity of the medicament, its dosage, lot, expiration, etc. and the characteristics profile of a dry powder formulation emitted from the inhalation system in use.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Inventors: John J. Pocreva, III, Benoit Adamo, Brendan Laurenzi, Chad C. Smutney, Spencer P. Kinsey

Patent number: 9016147Abstract: An inhalation simulation system is provided for use with inhalers in particular breath-powered dry powder inhalers. The simulation system can recreate a patient's inhalation profile obtained with an inhaler adapted with a sensing and monitoring device for the detection of characteristic signals generated from the inhaler in use, which signals are transmitted to a computer with an algorithm which is configured to analyze the signals and generate new signals via a transmitter to actuate the inhalation simulation system component parts so that a subject's inhalation profile is replicated simultaneously or in real-time, or stored for later use. Methods of measuring the performance of inhalers are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2010Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: MannKind CorporationInventors: Benoit Adamo, John M. Polidoro, Dennis Overfield, Carl R. Sahi, Brendan Laurenzi, Chad C. Smutney, Spencer P. Kinsey

Publication number: 20100069877Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dispensing compositions comprising sols, sol-forming compounds, or highly viscous compositions into porous substrates. In some embodiments, the porous substrates are elements of transdermal delivery devices. In some embodiments, the highly viscous compositions comprise alkylcellulose ethers, or derivatives thereof, in particular, hydroxypropyl cellulose. Such may be useful in continuous web-based manufacturing processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2009Publication date: March 18, 2010Inventors: Gregory A. Smith, Dale Kalamasz, Tyler D.J.

Publication number: 20070203454Abstract: A system and method for a patch-like, self-contained substance infusion device which provides one or more substantially hidden patient needles which can be placed in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir subassembly that includes a rigid bladder portion used in conjunction with a non-distensible bladder film, such as a metallized film. Simple removal of an interlock allows a disk, or Belleville spring assembly to apply an essentially even and constant pressure to the contents of the fluid reservoir assembly, and allows the device to then be attached to a skin surface via an adhesive contact surface. A push button activation assembly is provided which can then be used to release and seat one or more spring-loaded patient needles into the skin surface, and establish a fluid communication path between the patient needles and the pressurized fluid reservoir contents thereby delivering an infusion into the skin.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2007Publication date: August 30, 2007Inventors: Charles Shermer, Kenneth Powell, Alexander Lastovich, P. Kinsey, Chad Smutney, John Polidoro, Ed Browka, Carl Sahi, James Fentress, David Chapin, Daniel Stipe, Jeff Moss, Melody Kuroda

Publication number: 20060106346Abstract: A system and method for a patch-like, self-contained multi-component substance infusion device which provides one or more substantially hidden patient needles which can be placed in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir assembly that includes a rigid bladder portion used in conjunction with a non-distensible bladder film, such as a metallized film. The device can be attached to a skin surface via an adhesive contact and a pressurization system provides a pressure to the contents of a fluid reservoir assembly. Improvements to dry powdered formulations for reconstitution for preferred use in the device are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2005Publication date: May 18, 2006Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Vincent Sullivan, Ge Jiang, Matthew Ferriter, Kenneth Powell, P.

Publication number: 20030143052Abstract: The invention provides a reconfigurable patient support pallet system for transporting patients on litters. The patient support pallet system includes a pallet mounted to the floor of a vehicle. The pallet has a plurality of track rails and attachment points for attaching a litter stanchion set, capable of holding a patient in a litter, and/or for attaching a seat to the surface of the pallet. The pallet also includes a plurality of pallet lips and cargo rings on the periphery which provide locations to attach one or more pallet extensions, pallet spacers and/or pallet ramps to increase the usable surface area of a pallet, as well as and facilitate safe passage on, off and between pallets by reducing tripping hazards inherent in cargo aircraft.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2002Publication date: July 31, 2003Applicant: ARINC INCORPORATEDInventors: Brett V.
