Publication number: 20120203125Abstract: An inhalation mask (1) for fitting to a snout of an equine animal or an animal having an equine shaped snout is provided and comprise: a unitary mask body (6) defining a housing with an open end (11) which is adapted to overfit and accommodate the snout of the animal. The open end (11) of the housing being an integral part of the housing and forming a deformable seal about the open end (11) for sealing about the snout of the animal, wherein the open end (11) of the housing comprises a deformable lip (10) which forms the deformable seal, the lip (10) being formed by a continuation of a side wall (7) forming the mask body (6), which when the mask (1) is fitted, turns back inward upon itself, into the open end (11) of the mask (1), so that the lip (10) engages with the animal's snout to support the mask body (6) on the snout.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2010Publication date: August 9, 2012Applicant: NORTEV LIMITEDInventor: Declan Moran

Patent number: 8196573Abstract: A system for intermittent delivery of an aerosolized medicament is disclosed. The system may include an aerosol generator, a controller and a conduit. The aerosol generator may be configured to aerosolize a medicament. The controller may be configured to receive physiological characteristic information about a patient, and control the aerosol generator based at least in part on the physiological characteristic information. The conduit may be configured to supply the aerosolized medicament to the patient's airway.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2008Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: James B.

Patent number: 7971588Abstract: A method of treating a patient with a pulmonary disease, where the method includes delivering a dose of aerosolized medicament intermittently to a ventilator circuit coupled to the respiratory system of the patient. Also, a method of treating a patient with a pulmonary disease, where the method includes taking the patient off a ventilator, and administering to the patient, a nebulized aerosol comprising from about 100 ?g to about 500 mg of a medicament. Additionally, an aerosolized medicament for the treatment of a pulmonary disease, where the medicament includes amikacin mixed with an aqueous solution having an adjusted pH from about 5.5 to about 6.3. The pH is adjusted by adding hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide to the aqueous solution.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2005Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: James B.
