METERED DOSE NEBULIZER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/164175
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A nebulizer (700) includes a venturi nozzle positioned at the outlet (706) end of an air line and oriented horizontally and located within a patient's oral cavity when in use. A canister port is located at the inlet end of the air line and receives a gas canister (724). A valve is actuable to allow a metered flow of gas at a predetermined pressure and time to flow from the gas canister through the air line and venturi nozzle. A medication receiver (708) is carried by the nebulizer body proximal to the venturi nozzle. A suction line extends from the venturi nozzle to the medication receiver and draws medication upward from a medication container and mixes it with air passing through the venturi nozzle and nebulizes the medication.
