Abstract: A nebulizer and a container with a fluid for such a nebulizer are proposed. The container comprises an indicator device fixedly mounted on the bottom of the container. When a predetermined number of uses of the container (3) with the nebulizer (1) has been reached or exceeded, a signal element becomes visible on the indicator device. The indicator device stops further use of the container in a locked state when a predetermined number of uses has been reached or exceeded. Then, the nebulizer is partially opened and blocked against further use. After replacement of the container including the indicator device, the nebulizer can be used again.

Abstract: Inhaler for inhaling powdered medicaments from capsules, comprising a lower part (6), a plate (3) accommodated in the lower part (6), and a holder (18) inserted in the lower part (6), a mouthpiece (2) that can be latched to the lower part (6) on the plate (3), a cover (1) that covers the mouthpiece (2) in a closed position and latches by means of a closure element (14), the lower part (6) and the cover (1) being rotatably (4) connected to one another by a spindle (4), and an actuating member (7, 10) that can be moved from a resting position and set in motion and at the same time co-operates with at least one pin (8, 11) that can be stuck into the holder (18) and is located in a pin holder in the inner actuating member (10). In the holder (18) an exchangeable tube (22) can be inserted, as expulsion channel, which comprises a capsule chamber (21) with the capsule.

Abstract: An inhaler for inhaling powdered medicaments from capsules, having: a lower part which is cup-shaped, a plate latched to the lower part to close off the lower part, a capsule holder arranged on the underside of the plate, a mouthpiece that can be latched to the top of plate, and an actuating member for interacting with at least one pin for piercing a capsule in the capsule holder, where the actuating member includes a larger outer actuating member and a smaller inner actuating member, the outer actuating member forms a user-operated push-button, the inner actuating member contacts and holds the pin below a suspension element of the outer actuating member from the plate, and the point of application of force by the user onto push-button is lower than the inner actuating member.

Abstract: A dispensing device has 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.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, a device, and a control program for the fluid-tight sealing of capsules containing medicaments, wherein the capsules consist of at least one capsule body and a capsule cap which are set one into the other telescopically and provided with a tight band in the abutment region on the exterior side of the capsule, wherein the capsule components are filled with gas which has a changed temperature and/or a changed pressure in relation to the environment, and wherein a reduction of the difference in pressure in the capsule occurs via gaps between capsule body and capsule cap after the capsule components have been placed one inside the other. The capsules produced via the method according to the invention are disposable capsules and preferably contain a single dose of an orally administered pharmaceutical formulation in the form of a powder or a liquid.
