Embodiment Construction

[0026] An apparatus is provided for dosing pharmaceutical agents in a controlled manner by delivering a substance to a selected location within the alimentary canal of a human or animal being examined. In particular, an ingestible electronic pill or capsule having separate and attachable elements is provided. As used herein and in the claims, the words "substance" and "payload" mean drugs, non-pharmaceutical substances, contrast media, gases, fluids, liquids, chemicals, radioactive agents, imaging markers, Life sensors, etc.

[0027] With reference to the drawings and in particular to figure 1, shows an ingestible capsule according to the invention, generally indicated by the reference letter 100 . Capsule 100 is a self-contained electronically controlled drug delivery system for ingestion by a human or animal. The capsule 100 has a divided and separated payload element 200 and a divided and separated drive element 300 as described in detail below. As illustrated, when pay...

Abstract

An electronic capsule (100) is provided. The capsule (100) has a discrete drive element (300) comprising: a housing (109), electronics for making the electronic capsule (100) operable, a pumping mechanism (115) for dosing and displacing a substance, a power source (105) for powering the electronic capsule (100) and enabling the electronics and the pumping mechanism (115) to operate, and a lockingmechanism (130); and a discrete payload element (200) comprising: a housing (109), a reservoir (210) for storing the substance, one or more openings (250) in the housing (109) for releasing the substance from the reservoir (210) and a locking mechanism (230) for engaging the drive element locking mechanism (130). Engagement of the drive element locking mechanism (130) with the payload element locking mechanism (230) secures the drive element (300) to the payload element (200), thereby making the electronic capsule (100) operable and specific.
