Abstract:
Provided herein is a method of pulmonary delivering to a subject at least one pharmacologically active agent being in a plant material, which is effected by pulmonary delivering the agent to the subject using a metered dose inhaler device that is configured to vaporize at least one pre-determined vaporized amount of the agent upon controllably heating the plant material, wherein the pre-determined vaporized amount is selected so as to achieve at least one pre-determined pharmacokinetic effect and/or at least one pre-determined pharmacodynamic effect induced by the agent in the subject.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to electronic vaporizing devices comprising a plurality of components and a mechanism (209b, 215) for locking or otherwise securing the components together. Components of the electronic vaporizing devices may include a cartridge (205) and a battery unit (210).
Abstract:
A nebulizer is proposed which comprises a blocking device for blocking opening of the nebulizer in a tensioned state. The nebulizer comprises preferably an indicator device for indicating a tensioned state of the nebulizer. The nebulizer comprises further a depressable actuator member at a housing part which is detachable from the nebulizer.
Abstract:
A dispensing assembly for a container filled with a medicinal substance or formulation, the container being suitable for administering the medicinal substance or formulation via inhalation, buccal or sublingual delivery. The dispensing assembly includes a housing (1) defining a patient port through which, in use, the medicinal substance or formulation is dispensed. The dispensing assembly further includes a cap (3) that can be engaged with and disengaged from the patient port to close and open the patient port and an adhesive tape (10) having one portion (12) affixed to the housing and a second portion (11) affixed to the cap, such that when the cap is disengaged from the patient port, the cap is still connected to the housing.
Abstract:
A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit that may simulate a cigarette has a cavity that receives a cartridge in the distal end of the inhaler unit. The cartridge brings a substance to be vaporized in contact with a wick. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the substance to be vaporized is drawn out of the cartridge, through the wick, and is atomized by the wick into a cavity containing a heating element. The heating element vaporizes the atomized substance. The vapors then continue to be pulled by the user through a mouthpiece and mouthpiece cover where they may be inhaled.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for integrating a continuous glucose sensor (12), including a receiver (14), a medicament delivery device (16), and optionally a single point glucose monitor 18 are provided. Manual integrations provide for a physical association between the devices wherein a user (for example, patient or doctor) manually selects the amount, type, and/or time of delivery. Semi-automated integration of the devices includes integrations wherein an operable connection between the integrated components aids the user (for example, patient or doctor) in selecting, inputting, calculating, or validating the amount, type, or time of medicament delivery of glucose values, for example, by transmitting data to another component and thereby reducing the amount of user input required. Automated integration between the devices includes integrations wherein an operable connection between the integrated components provides for full control of the system without required user interaction.

Abstract:
A cartridge (800) is provided for use with an apparatus for generating an inhalable medium. The cartridge (800) has a container (801) for holding a liquid (802) and a receptacle (803) for receiving a solid material (804). A shell (805) is provided around the outside of the liquid container (801). A channel (806) is defined between the liquid container (801) and the shell (805). Liquid exiting the container (801) can flow, in the form of at least one of a vapour and an aerosol, through the channel (806) to the receptacle (803) and through solid material (804) received by the receptacle (803) in use.
Abstract:
A fluid dispensing apparatus (2), comprising a body (4), said body having an orifice (8) configured to allow the fluid to be dispensed from the apparatus, wherein the orifice has been formed by machining and a method of manufacturing thereof.
Abstract:
An electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) is disclosed, said electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) comprising a mouth piece (MP), an atomizer arrangement (AA), a power supply (PS), and a container arrangement (CA) containing nicotine, the atomizer arrangement (AA) comprising an inlet from the container arrangement (CA), the atomizer arrangement (AA) comprising at least one atomizer, the atomizer being electrically connected to the power supply (PS), the container arrangement (CA) further containing pH-controlling agent and the atomizer arrangement producing aerosols comprising pH-controlling agent and nicotine.
