Abstract
An inhaler with an evaluation unit, a housing with a mouthpiece and a chamber with a container unit. Provided between the container unit and a chamber wall is an annular gap, through which air is sucked in and mixes with medium flowing through a discharge. The evaluation unit is mounted on the container unit and is pressed down together with a container of the container unit and detects air sucked through the annular gap. A measuring channel forms part of a first flow path for air flowing into the chamber from a surrounding area and a flow sensor detects the air flowing through the measuring channel. A second flow path is provided for air flowing into the chamber from a surrounding area, the flow resistance of which second path is equal to or lower than that of the first flow path.
