Abstract:
A dose counter for a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) has an actuator housing and canister with an activation valve at a valve end of the canister. The dose counter includes a circuit assembly having a substrate with at least a first and a second switch thereon. The first and second switches are sized and positioned to interact with the valve end of the canister when the canister moves from a rest position to an activation position, such that the first switch is triggered when the canister reaches a first longitudinal position and the second switch is triggered when the canister reaches a second longitudinal position that is offset from the first longitudinal position during movement of the canister from the rest position to the activation position. A counting circuit is configured to receive a signal from the first and second switches and to determine when the metered dose inhaler is activated.

Claim (Index 8):
The dose counter of  claim 1 , further comprising an accelerometer in communication with the counting circuit, wherein the accelerometer is configured to activate the counting circuit when the accelerometer is moved with sufficient movement to indicate shaking of the metered-dose inhaler.
