DISPOSABLE AEROSOL GENERATOR SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR ADMINISTERING THE AEROSOL

摘要

An aerosol generator (120)used with an inhaler (200), the inhaler (200) comprising a heater (130) for volatilizing liquid stored in the aerosol generator (120) and a method of using the inhaler. A body of the aerosol generator (120) including a sealed chamber (10) and an outlet (20), the chamber (10) being located between first (18) and second (18) layers of material. The chamber (10) holds a predeterminated volume of liquid which is expelled from the outlet (20) when the liquid in the chamber (10) is volatilized by the heater (130). The body includes a series of spaced apart aerosol generators (120), each of which can be advanced to a release position at which the heater can heat the liquid in the chambers (10). Prior to heating the fluid, the outlet (20) can be formed by severing the first (18) and second (14) layers with a priecing element (150) and the volatilized liquid can be expelled from the outlet (20) into a passage of a dispersing member (140).
