Abstract: A nebulizer (650) has an aerosol generator (651), a reservoir (652), and an aerosol outlet (653). A piezoelectric vibration generator (656) is on a downstream side of a support washer (655), and power to the piezo is provided by a spring contact assembly (657). The assembly (657) has upstanding electrical terminals (680, 681) for contact with electrical supply conductors. There are spring terminals (670) extending around a rim of the spring contact assembly (657) to engage an exposed underside of the washer (655), and a resilient ridge (671) extending in the upstream direction to engage the underside of the piezo (656), which itself is on the downstream side of the washer (655).

Abstract: A dispensing apparatus (100) is for use by users to take a chamber (110), fill the chamber with an aerosolized vaccine or other medicament (104), and dispose of used chambers (120). A display (103) provides instructions to encourage prompt inhalation by the user from a dispensed and filled chamber. The apparatus allows very fast administration of vaccines to large numbers of people. The aerosol dispenser apparatus detects the chamber is in correct position and delivers a predetermined dose of aerosol. Once the dose is delivered a visual and/or audible indicator informs the user that the chamber is filled and that they can take the inhalation. The single dose aerosol chamber (110) is optimized for efficient administration of an aerosol.

The aerosol dispenser apparatus detects the chamber is in correct position and delivers a pre-determined dose of aerosol. The chamber has a nebulizer delivery port (114) optimized for delivery of aerosol into the chamber container (111) and to act as a vent during inhalation via the inhalation port (115).

Abstract: A patient interface (1) is for aerosol treatment, having a base (2) to surround the patient's mouth and nose and engage the skin with a resilient seal, and with a strap (8) to attach to a patient's head. There is a support (3) on and across the base for supporting an aerosol delivery head with prongs (4, 5). An enclosed volume is formed in the interface by attachment of a shell (10), which has an extraction port (11) for attachment of an extraction system (20) to extract gas from this volume. An HFNT system includes a patient interface surrounding the nose and mouth and an aerosol delivery apparatus (4, 6), an extraction apparatus (20), and a controller (100) to control delivery of aerosol and/or gas to the interface and to extract gases from a volume enclosed by the interface. Because of the fully sealed volume within the interface there are a wide range of control scenarios possible, using pressure sensing in the volume, bypass valves (201), dynamically-controllable nebulizer (203).

Abstract: A nebulizer (1) has an aerosol generator (5) mounted in a housing (3), and has a vibratable aperture plate (41) mounted to an annular support (40) and to which is attached a vibration generator piezo (46). A downstream annular resilient seal (43) is mounted between the housing and the washer (40) on a side of the aperture plate opposed to the liquid supply reservoir (21). An upstream resilient seal (48) is in the form of a gasket and is mounted between the washer (40) and the housing reservoir (21), and has an opening (72) forming part of a throat (8) over the aperture plate (41). The gasket (48) has a washer-shaped body (70) extending radially from a downstream-extending rim (71) adjacent the aperture plate (41). There are two upwardly-directed ridges (74, 75) for engagement with a housing (21) surface, and the gasket is configured so that when under axial compression the opening (72) internal surface is tapered inwardly in a flow direction to form a funnel shape. The gasket may be textured with sufficient surface roughness to deter bubbles from attaching to a surface exposed to the throat.

Abstract: A nebulizer (1, 102) has a liquid reservoir (3, 112) for supply of liquid to be aerosolized to a first surface of a vibratable aperture plate (41) with apertures having a size in the range of 1µm to 10µm. A drive has a piezoelectric annular element on an aperture plate support to cause the aperture plate to vibrate at a drive frequency of 128kHz to cause droplets to separate from a side of the aperture plate opposed to the reservoir. An outlet conduit (6, 114) is for flow of droplets from the aperture plate. A sensor is arranged with an acoustic transducer in contact with the conduit outer surface to pick up an acoustic signal which is representative of a droplet plume in the conduit, and a processor analyses the signal to provide an output representative of a plume. The monitored acoustic signal frequency band is centred around half of the drive frequency because it takes on average more than one aperture plate cycle to separate a droplet.

Abstract: An aerosol delivery system (10) is connected to a respiratory system (12) that includes a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine (80) which pumps air into a patient's throat to block the airway from collapsing. The CPAP machine (80) couples to a nasal cannula (82) with a gas delivery conduit (42). The nasal cannula (82) then directs the air into the patient through the nose.
