A nebulizer system capable of identifying when activation has occurred and aerosol is being produced. The nebulizer system monitors the inhalation and exhalation flow generated by the patient and communicates proper breathing technique for optimal drug delivery. The nebulizer system may monitor air supply to the nebulizer to ensure it is within the working range and is producing, or is capable of producing, acceptable particle size and drug output rate. When a patient, caregiver or other user deposits or inserts medication into the nebulizer, the nebulizer system is able to identify the medication and determine the appropriate delivery methods required to properly administer the medication as well as output this information into a treatment log to ensure the patient is taking the proper medications. The system is able to measure the concentration of the medication and volume of the medication placed within the medication receptacle, e.g., bowl.

Smart nebulizer

An apparatus and method for providing a nebula or aerosol to a patient is described. In one aspect, the nebulizer is composed of a minimum number of parts to reduce complexity for automated or human assembly. The nebulizer may include an inhalation valve, exhalation valve and biasing member integrated into a single diaphragm structure that may be connected with an actuator and inserted into a housing for controlling nebulization of a medicine to a patient in response to the patient's breathing or in a continuous nebulization mode.

Nebulizer apparatus and method

A system and method for use in matching a source to a dynamic impedance electrical load is described. The system may include a processor that controls a signal generator to sweep across a frequency spectrum to locate a resonant frequency of the dynamic impedance load. The determination of resonant frequency may be made based on sensing the power consumption of the amplifier supplying the load and locating the frequency at which the power consumption is minimized. Periodically tracking and adjustment of the frequency to maintain a minimum power consumption may be automatically performed. The load may be a SAW atomizer.
