Abstract
The invention pertains to a capsule system for use with a medical device designed to administer atomized medication to patients. The system features a chamber containing the medication and an atomizer at a lower end for efficient drug delivery. Notably, the system incorporates a fluid sensor and electrical contacts to ensure proper operation and medication delivery. The capsule's design includes a housing with an asymmetrical transverse cross-sectional shape for unique fitting, and a tapered wall to direct medication towards the atomizer. The capsule may also connect to an external container or include a stopper for refilling medication. A specific embodiment features two chambers with a rupturing element to facilitate medication transfer. Another embodiment includes a removable container, like a vial, within the first chamber. This novel system provides improvements in accuracy, versatility, and user-friendliness, overcoming limitations in prior art.
