  • Publication number: 20200276398
    Abstract: An in-line droplet delivery device and related methods for delivering precise and repeatable dosages to a subject for pulmonary use is disclosed. The in-line droplet delivery device includes a housing, a mouthpiece, a reservoir, an ejector mechanism, and at least one differential pressure sensor. The in-line droplet delivery device is automatically breath actuated by the user when the differential pressure sensor senses a predetermined pressure change within housing. The in-line droplet delivery device is then actuated to generate a plume of droplets having an average ejected particle diameter within the respirable size range, e.g, less than about 5-6 ?m, so as to target the pulmonary system of the user. the droplet delivery device is configured in an in-line orientation in that the housing, its internal components, and various device components (e.g., the mouthpiece, air inlet flow element, etc.) are orientated in a substantially in-line or parallel configuration (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20170189727
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods systems and methods for removing ultra-fine particles from air. In one implementation, a low power air purifying respirator is configured for filtering ultra-fine particles using a primary filter having a composite filter media, which may be pleated and may provide no outgassing. The respirator includes at least one fan providing positive pressure air flow to the primary filter at a low face velocity. The at least one fan may comprise a plurality of serially stacked, axial fans configured to increase air pressure without increasing flow. One or more safety valves are disposed along the air flow path to prevent back flow and carbon dioxide buildup during use. A user device may be in communication with a controller in the respirator to control the operations of the respirator. The respirator may be connected to a mask via a hose.
