Estimating the term…
A dispensing apparatus is for use by users to take a chamber, fill the chamber with an aerosolized vaccine or other medicament, and dispose of used chambers. A display 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 pre-determined 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 is optimized for efficient administration of an aerosol.
An aerosol dispensing apparatus comprising a controller, a dispenser with a support for a single dose aerosol chamber having a nebulizer delivery port and an inhalation port, and a nebulizer having an aerosol generator and an outlet conduit adapted to deliver an aerosol dose into the single dose aerosol chamber via the nebulizer delivery port, wherein the dispenser is configured for automatic engagement of the nebulizer outlet conduit with the nebulizer delivery port and for separation after delivery of a dose.
