Publication number: 20220062035Abstract: The present disclosure relates to ejector mechanisms and devices for generating a directed stream of droplets, as well as improved methods for delivering an ejected stream of droplets to a target. The device and methods may be useful for the delivery of fluid for ophthalmic, topical, oral, nasal, or pulmonary use, more particularly, for use in the delivery of ophthalmic fluid to the eye. Certain aspects of the disclosure relate to devices and methods for the delivery of a therapeutically effective low dosage volume medicament composition to a target, e.g., by controlling charge, droplet size and/or droplet deposit parameters of the medicament composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Jonathan Ryan WILKERSON, Iyam LYNCH, Charles Eric HUNTER, Joshua Richard BROWN, Lucien S. WILKINS, Peter LAM, Hamilton COLEMAN, J. Sid CLEMENTS, Bernard L. BALLOU

Publication number: 20210407663Abstract: A method of delivering safe, suitable, and repeatable dosages to a subject for topical, oral, nasal, or pulmonary use and a device for droplet ejection includes a fluid delivery system capable of delivering a defined volume of the fluid in the form of droplets having properties that afford adequate and repeatable high percentage deposition upon application. The method and device include a housing, a reservoir disposed within the housing for receiving a volume of fluid, an ejector mechanism configured to eject a stream of droplets having an average ejected droplet diameter greater than 15 microns, the stream of droplets having low entrained airflow such that the stream of droplets deposit on the eye of the subject during use.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: Charles Eric Hunter, Bernard L. Ballou, JR., Jurgen Klaus Vollrath, Arthur H. Tew, Joshua Richard Brown, James Thornhill Leath, Nathan R. Faulks, Bradley G. Johnson, J. Sid Clements, Phillip E. Russell, John H. Hebrank, Tsontcho Ianchulev, Mark Packer, Troy Elliott, Walter M. Fierson, Thomas J. Lindner

Publication number: 20210398651Abstract: The disclosure relates to medical databases, remote monitoring, diagnosis and treatment systems and methods. In one particular embodiment, a system for remote monitoring, diagnosis, or treatment of eye conditions, disorders and diseases is provided. This method generally includes administering a stream of droplets to the eye of a subject from an ejector device, and storing data related to the administration in a memory of the ejector device. The data may then be monitored and analyzed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Bernard L. Ballou, JR., Jurgen Klaus Vollrath, Kelly C. Sparks, Joshua Richard Brown, Mark Packer, Charles Eric Hunter, Troy Elliott, John H. Hebrank
