AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing ophthalmic liquid dispensers lack the ability to deliver very small volumes with high accuracy and precision, and maintain sterility in the container, leading to potential contamination and dosage inaccuracies.

Method used

A device with a specially configured pump and valve system that allows for precise delivery of 6 microliter doses, using a collapsible container and a dual one-way valve mechanism to prevent backflow and maintain sterility, combined with a mixing chamber for mist delivery.

Benefits of technology

Ensures accurate and sterile delivery of small ophthalmic liquid doses as a mist, preventing contamination and maintaining dosage precision.

Abstract

A device (1) for the delivery of a mist of a dose of an ophthalmic liquid, the device (1) comprising a housing (6) with: - a holding chamber (92) having a discharge opening (93), for holding a dose of liquid to be delivered, - a pump (200) for pumping, via a dose supply conduit (235), the dose of the liquid to the holding chamber (92), the pump (200) being connected with a container (30) containing a plurality of the doses, - an air flow conduit (76, 77) for supplying a flow of air to the holding chamber (92) so as to force the dose delivered by the pump (200) to the holding chamber (92) out through the discharge opening (93), the pump (200) comprising: - a first part (210) with a base (213), an elongated tubular structure (214) extending from the base (213) - a second part (225) movable relative to the first part (210) and including a pump stem (238) extending into the pump chamber (216) through the opening (217), in sealing engagement with the seal (218), the pump stem (238) moving relative to the first part (210) inside the pump chamber, the pump stem (238) having a first sealing surface (300) at the free end (130) and the device (1) further comprising a second sealing surface (400), with the first sealing surface (300) being biased against the second sealing surface (400) by the biasing member (150) thereby defining a fluid tight seal (300;400) in the advanced position of the pump stem (238).
