Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing device, a storage device and a method for dispensing a medical formulation. Multiple doses of the formulation are stored in a carrier having multiple storage members, each storage member containing a single dose. Each storage member comprises one duct or nozzle for dispensing the respective dose. The dispensing direction of the ducts or nozzles is directed in a lengthwise or indexing direction of the carrier. The storage device of the carrier is a peelable blister strip, wherein the ducts or nozzles can be opened one after the other by peeling the blister strip.

Abstract: An inhaler for use with a dry powder pharmaceutical formulation, including: a chamber containing the dry powder formulation, a valve disposed in series with the chamber for regulating air flow through the chamber, and a bypass coupled around the combination of the chamber and the valve, where the valve and bypass cooperate for ensuring that the air flow is at least essentially fixed or kept constant or at a minimum accepted or desired or required flow rate through the chamber, and for varying air flow restriction through the inhaler with flow rate, or for keeping the air flow restriction generally constant.

Abstract: An inhaler including a pre-inserted cartridge (100) is proposed. The cartridge contains liquid (103) which is preferably pressurized to a low pressure. The cartridge is connected via an aerosol valve (106) with the inhaler. The liquid is further pressurized by a pump (117) of the inhaler to a high pressure and atomized.

Abstract: A dispensing device, a storage device and a method for dispensing a formulation as a spray using a gas stream. Doses of the formulation are contained in storage members, which comprise individual atomizing device. The storage members are received in cavities, which are sealed by a common outlet seal. The outlet seal is peeled individually for each cavity to open the respective storage member and its atomizing device before the respective dose is dispensed by a gas stream flowing through the storage member.

Abstract: A device, cartridge and method for dispensing a liquid, preferably a drug, are proposed. The liquid is pressurized in a cartridge to a first lower pressure and, then, pressurized in doses by a pump to a second higher pressure. A valve arranged between the cartridge and the pump is normally closed and/or opened only temporarily. Thus, evaporation and dripping of liquid can be avoided or minimized.

Abstract: An atomizing device (1), an inhaler and a method for dispensing a liquid formulation (5) are proposed. An insert (2) comprises a cylinder (4) filled with the liquid, an atomizing nozzle (7) and a piston (6). The piston is moved in the cylinder to pressurize the liquid and force it out of cylinder through the atomizing nozzle in order to generate a spray (13). The insert is received in a holder (3) which is sealed. The insert is moved within the holder so that the sealing (9) is ruptured before the spray is generated.

Abstract: A dispensing device has a storage device and an air pump for dispensing a medical formulation. The storage device has multiple inserts, each insert containing a single dose of the formulation. Each insert is located in a separate and sealed cavity. The cavities can be individually opened for dispensing the respective dose from the respective insert by a connecting element that is moveable relative to the inserts for individually supplying air from a air pump to a respective one of the receptacles. A manually operated actuator is radially moveable to operate the air pump and to rotate the storage device to the next receptacle, and/or radially move the connecting element to individually open the respective receptacle, and to connect the pump to the respective receptacle and/or to push an insert out of the respective receptacle.

Abstract: A nozzle, an inhaler with a nozzle and a method for producing a nozzle are proposed. The nozzle comprises two holes formed in a flat plate. Then, the plate is deformed such that the axes of the holes intersect so that jets of fluids generated by the holes impinge with each other.

Abstract: A dispensing device, a storage device and a method for dispensing a medical formulation are proposed. Multiple doses of the formulation are stored in a carrier having multiple inserts, each insert containing a single dose. Preferably, each insert has at least one duct or nozzle for dispensing the respective dose. Each insert is located in a separate and sealed cavity in the carrier. The cavities can be individually opened for dispensing the respective dose from the respective insert.

Abstract: A dispensing device with a storage device and an air pump for dispensing a medical formulation in which the storage device has multiple inserts, each insert containing a single dose of the formulation. Each insert is located in a separate and sealed cavity. The cavities can be individually opened for dispensing the respective dose from the respective insert. Furthermore, a mechanism is provided for aligning the connecting element relative to a respective receptacle and/or insert which has guiding portions formed at or by the respective receptacle and/or insert.

Abstract: An atomizer, a reservoir and a method are proposed for the delivery and in particular, the atomization of a formulation, particularly a powder. A pump and a spring are arranged inside the annular reservoir, the pump and the spring being moveable radially and in a sliding manner. The pump is actuated by the spring to put air under pressure for discharging powder from the reservoir. The reservoir comprises receptacles or cavities, each of which has an insert with a respective dose of the formulation. The receptacles are constructed as separate parts and/or arranged on a common or annular carrier and/or are sealed separately and/or on its outer circumferential periphery. The spring is tensioned and the air is sucked into the pump. Then, the next receptacle and a connecting element are aligned relative to each other. Finally, the aligned receptacle is pierced by the connecting element for supplying the air.

Abstract: A dispensing device having a storage device and an air pump for dispensing a medical formulation. The storage device has multiple inserts, each insert containing a single dose of the formulation. Each insert is located in a separate and sealed cavity. The cavities can be individually opened for dispensing the respective dose from the respective insert by movement of the respective insert through the seal, so as to break the seal only at one side of the outlet opening so that the seal is pivoted mainly to an opposite side of the outlet opening by the movement of the insert for minimizing potential interference by the opened seal with flowing of the formulation from the receptacle toward the mouthpiece.

Abstract: A dispensing device has a storage device and an air pump for dispensing a medical formulation. The storage device has multiple inserts, each insert containing a single dose of the formulation. Each insert is located in a separate and sealed cavity. The cavities can be individually opened for dispensing the respective dose from the respective insert by a pressurizing gas via a connecting element that is moveable relative to the inserts for individually supplying pressurized gas to a respective one of the receptacles. A mechanism is provided for preventing a back stroke of the connecting element during supplying of the pressurizing gas and dispensing of the formulation.
