Abstract
A thermally modulating inhalable medicament delivery device may deliver an inhalable medicament as an aerosol, vapor, or partial aerosol and partial vapor mixture to a subject. The inhalable medicament may be delivered to a targeted location in an airway of the subject. Various other devices, systems, and methods for delivering an inhalable medicament to a subject are also disclosed.
Claims20
A tamper-resistant cartridge for an inhalable medicament delivery device, comprising:
- a medicament;
- a penetrable seal that enables the inhalable medicament delivery device to controllably release the medicament from the tamper-resistant cartridge;
- a neutralizing agent that, upon contacting the medicament, renders the medicament inaccessible or functionally neutralized;
- and
- an encapsulation creating a barrier between the neutralizing agent and the medicament, the encapsulation, when penetrated during efforts to remove the medicament from the tamper-resistant cartridge without the inhalable medicament delivery device, releases the neutralizing agent into contact with the medicament.

A tamper-resistant cartridge for an inhalable medicament delivery device, comprising:
- a medicament;
- a penetrable seal that enables the inhalable medicament delivery device to controllably release the medicament from the tamper-resistant cartridge;
- a neutralizing agent that, upon contacting the medicament, renders the medicament inaccessible or functionally neutralized;
- and
- a barrier between the neutralizing agent and the medicament, the barrier, when penetrated during efforts to remove the medicament from the tamper-resistant cartridge without activation of a reservoir tap of the inhalable medicament delivery device, releases the neutralizing agent into contact with the medicament.
2 more elements
A tamper-resistant inhalable medicament delivery system, comprising:
- a cartridge containing a medicament and including:
- a penetrable seal that provides selective access to the medicament;
- and
- a pressure plate that forces the medicament from the cartridge, through the penetrable seal;
- and
- an inhalable medicament delivery device including:
- a reservoir tap that cooperates with the penetrable seal to selectively access the medicament;
- and
- electronics that determine a position of the pressure plate within the cartridge and deactivate the cartridge and/or the inhalable medicament delivery device when the position of the pressure plate does not correspond to an intentional activation of the cartridge.
