INHALATION ACTUATED DEVICE FOR USE WITH METERED DOSE INHALERS (MDIs)

摘要

A device (10) for use with metered dose inhalers (14) includes a housing having a void for receiving a metered dose inhaler, and an actuator assembly (20, 26) configured to selectively apply force to the metered dose inhaler to cause the inhaler to release medicament. A cocking mechanism (18) is employed for placing the actuator assembly in an armed configuration. The device is configured to actuate the inhaler as the user inhales, thereby ensuring improved medicament delivery. Additionally, the device is configured to prevent the inhaler from remaining in a vented position.
