  • Publication number: 20020020408
    Abstract: An inhalation medicament delivery device used to administer single or multiple dose of medicament. A standard vial container attaches to the device eliminating the need for a specialized vial container. The device is configured so that a dose can be accurately measured and transferred from the vial container to the device for delivery to the user. The device utilizes a vibration element attached to a membrane with fine holes to create particle sizes suitable for deep lung deposition. The device is breath activated, triggered only on intake of air, thereby reducing the loss of drug while exhaling. An electronic module tracks doses and provides historical data capable of being downloaded to a PC or PDA.
