A case for an electronic cigarette vaporiser, the case including an automatic lifting mechanism that lifts the vaporiser up a few mm from the case to enable a user to easily grasp the vaporiser and withdraw it from the case. The lifting mechanism can be spring-based. The case both re-fills the vaporiser with liquid and also re-charges a battery in the vaporiser.

The spray application device with angled tip may comprise an applicator and an activator, where the applicator has a nozzle for delivery of a sprayable material. The spray application device may store a medication and may dispense the medication as an aerosol mist. The medication applicator may be adapted to dispense the medication through a nostril of a user directed at the posterior nasal cavity. The spray application device may be operable to release the medication in multiple doses of predetermined volume. The spray application device may be adapted for the user to self-administer the medication while positioned in any preferred physical position. A nozzle with a compliant nozzle shroud, an angled tip, and anatomically optimized nozzle geometry may direct the medication to a precise location within the posterior nasal cavity of a user.

The present disclosure relates to drug administration. In an exemplary embodiment, a system can include a drug administration device configured to dispense a drug to a patient, a monitoring device configured to log a delivery event of drug delivery from the drug administration device into the patient, and a sensor configured to sense a patient parameter following delivery of the drug into the patient. In another exemplary embodiment, a drug administration device can include a drug holder configured to hold a drug, a dispensing mechanism configured to dispense the drug, and a sensor configured to sense a patient parameter, and the drug administration device can be configured to locally activate the drug at a target location in the patient. In another exemplary embodiment, methods, devices, and systems are provided to assess when operation of a drug dispensing mechanism is complete and to confirm whether drug administration was successful.

A nasal droplet delivery device and related methods for delivering precise and repeatable dosages to a subject via the nasal passageways and sinus cavities.

A breathing assistance apparatus is configured with features that improve serviceability of the apparatus. The apparatus can include animations to provide instruction regarding correcting easily-identified fault conditions and to provide instruction regarding routine maintenance routines. The apparatus also can be configured with top level control menus that are obscured in a manner to limit manipulation of the top level control elements by unauthorized users.

The present invention is generally related to a device and method for sanitizing a medical instrument with ozone, in particular the invention relates to a system, method and a device for sanitizing a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. The device has an ozone compartment, an ozone operating system and one or more ozone distribution lines that distribute ozone to a continuous positive airway pressure device. The device may further include a heater adapter unit to connect heating systems in CPAP devices while distributing ozone to sanitize the CPAP device in accordance with the present invention.

Systems and methods are provided for detecting unacceptable accelerations by an anesthetic vaporizer, such as due to drops and mishandling. In one embodiment, a method for an anesthetic vaporizer comprises determining a quantitative acceleration of the anesthetic vaporizer based on acceleration vectors measured by an accelerometer coupled within the anesthetic vaporizer, and outputting an alert responsive to the quantitative acceleration exceeding an acceleration threshold. In this way, drop-related degradation may be identified in a timely fashion.

Systems and methods for pumping milk from a breast, wherein the milk is expressed from the breast under suction and milk is expulsed from the pumping mechanism to a collection container under positive pressure.

An injection device comprises a needle holder that supports a needle, and a vial holder that supports a vial. A spring urges the needle holder to move towards the vial holder but that movement is restrained by a latch until the time of use. Releasing the latch primes the device by allowing the needle holder to move, whereby a proximal end of the needle pierces a septum of the vial. The latch is preferably released by rotating an actuator. The same rotation preferably frees the needle holder and vial to be advanced axially relative to the actuator, whereby a distal end of the needle can be introduced into the skin of a subject. Compressed air from a tank may be used to drive the discharge of the vial. The air tank preferably surrounds the vial and provides a broad proximal surface, against which manual pressure can be applied to the device.
