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 7):
The dose counter of  claim 1 , wherein when the counting circuit determines when the metered dose inhaler is activated responsive to the first and second time, the counting circuit increments a counting indicia, and displays the counting indicia on the display.
