There is provided an electronically controlled, motor-driven, breath actuated metered dose inhaler for delivering aerosolized medicament or other matter to a user. The inhaler may comprise a base housing including a motor-driven actuator and other system components and a removable aerosol cartridge insertably receivable in the base housing. The inhaler may be paired with a smart phone or other client computing device to provide additional functionality, such as to provide instructional information and feedback regarding usage of the inhaler, to generate and display dosage tracking information, and to provide alerts and reminders to a user of the inhaler or others.

Aerosol delivery systems and related methods

Aerosol delivery systems

An improved aerosol dispensing apparatus includes an aerosol container, a discharge piece movably mounted to the aerosol container, a flow control valve mounted within the discharge piece, a battery, and an electronically controlled metering valve electronically connected to the battery and in fluid communication with the flow control valve. The flow control valve is movable between an open position wherein a volume of an aerosol formulation is directed from the aerosol container through the flow control valve to the metering valve, and a closed position, wherein the metering valve is configured to precisely control a flow of the aerosol formulation outward of the discharge piece. A solenoid is electronically connected to the battery and is movable between an actuated position wherein the solenoid urges the flow control valve into the open position, and an un-actuated position wherein the flow control valve remains in the closed position.

Metering valve for a metered dose inhaler

An improved aerosol dispensing apparatus includes an aerosol container, a discharge piece movably mounted to the aerosol container, a metering valve mounted within the discharge piece, a battery, and an electronically controlled flow control valve. The flow control valve is electronically connected to the battery and is in fluid communication with the metering valve. The metering valve is movable between an open position wherein a volume of an aerosol formulation is directed from the aerosol container through the metering valve to the electronically controlled flow control valve, and a closed position wherein the aerosol formulation is not permitted to flow through the metering valve. The electronically controlled flow control valve is configured to precisely control a flow of the aerosol formulation outward of the discharge piece.
