  • AEROSOL DELIVERY SYSTEMS, COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20200054558
    Abstract: An aerosol preparation assembly includes an entrainment chamber defining an entrainment volume. The entrainment chamber includes a gas inlet port, an aerosol inlet port and an outlet port. The entrainment chamber is configured such that a velocity of a flow of a gas within the entrainment volume is less than a velocity of the flow of the gas within the gas inlet port. The entrainment chamber is configured such that at least a portion of inlet aerosol is entrained into the flow of the gas within the entrainment volume to produce an entrained aerosol flow at the outlet port. The particle selection chamber is configured to receive the entrained aerosol flow and produce an outlet aerosol flow. The particle selection chamber and nozzle are collectively configured such that a volumetric median diameter of the outlet aerosol flow is less than a volumetric median diameter of the inlet aerosol.

  • Device for automatic injection of drug doses
    Patent number: 9017293
    Abstract: A device for the automatic injection of doses of a drug compound is described. The device has a sliding sheath which, when depressed with its front end against the injection site, interacts with cam means to activate triggering of a plunger, thus controlling delivery of a drug dose. Plunger guide means are provided for controlling the triggering sequence and means for arming the device in the dose delivery condition. Automatic needle re-sheathing and resetting of a lock-out condition after each dose is delivered are also provided.

  • Device for the automatic injection of two doses of a medicament
    Patent number: 8900201
    Abstract: A device for the automatic injection of doses of a drug is described. The device has a slide and cam means, a syringe unit with a piston, and guide means. The axial movement of the slide initiated by a user by depressing its front end against an injection site, causes an angular displacement of the cam means that, in cooperation with the guide means, controls movement of the syringe piston and therefore administration of a drug dose.
