Patent CA-2390559-A1 (CA)
Title: Inhaler dosing device
Inventor: NILSSON LARS-GUNNAR
IPC: A61M13/00
Filed: 2000-10-20
Abstract: A dosing device of an inhaler for administration of a pharmaceutical composition during a prolonged time period is disclosed. The principle of the inspiratory administration is basically utilizing known techniques for administering of the pharmaceutical composition, whereby the fine powder to be administered is gathered as extended doses (15, 16) of powder onto a surface of a dosing member. The disposable dosing member (10) contains a number of prefabricated dose strings to be accessed. A dosing element (7) having an adapted opening moves along an extended string of the dosing member during the administration to in this manner prolong the time period, during which the pharmaceutical composition is released from the dosing member (10) into an air-stream of the inhaler during the inspiration. The relative motion of the dosing element (7) is either obtained by rotating the dosing member itself or moving the dosing element along the surface of the dosing member. Thereby an evenly distributed amount of powder in the inspiration air is obtained during, for instance, one to two seconds of inspiration in accordance with the motion of the dosing element (7) relative to the extended dose of pharmaceutical composition.
