Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical technology, and particularly relates to an automatic triggering device for a nasal spray and a using method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, various nasal sprays with different models and doses have been developed around the world for the fields of biological and medical research. However, in research, it is often necessary to evaluate various spraying performances of nasal sprays to guide the further optimization of nozzle design and the development of new nasal spray products with excellent performances.

[0003] When evaluating the spraying effect of a nasal spray, the currently commonly used test method is to manually press the nasal spray. This test method has the following defects: First, the manual pressing force is uneven, and the pressing forces of different testers are also different, which is not conducive to testing the spraying effect of new products during the product R & D stage; Second, in terms of the evaluation of the spraying effect, due to the limitations of manually pressing the nasal spray, it is only limited to the tests of the spraying amount, the uniformity of the delivered dose, etc. of the nasal spray. Manual pressing cannot ensure the uniformity of the spraying pressure, resulting in unstable test results of the spraying performance, thus affecting the evaluation of the spraying effect, and the tests of the spray particle size, spray pattern and spray mode cannot be carried out, which greatly limits the comprehensive evaluation of the spraying performance of new products.

[0004] The present invention designs a mechanical trigger to replace manual pressing to trigger the nasal spray, which can provide a more uniform, stable, efficient and continuous triggering pressure, facilitating the comparative study of the spraying effects of new products with different batches and different structures; in terms of the evaluation of the spraying effect, in addition to the tests of the spraying amount and the uniformity of the delivered dose of the nasal spray, considering the uniformity of the force value for pressing the nasal spray and in cooperation with an image acquisition system and a laser particle size analyzer, the spray pattern (spray angle, spray width), spray mode (spray area), particle size distribution of the nasal spray can also be tested, which can greatly expand the test range of the spraying performance and promote the comprehensive evaluation of the spraying performance of new nasal spray products. The nasal spray trigger has important guiding significance for the development of new nasal sprays, the research on spray bottle materials and the R & D of nasal spray products, etc.

[0005] At present, there are very few reports and products on nasal spray triggers. In the world, only the Vereo series of automatic triggers developed by Proveris Company in the United States can be used for the automatic triggering of nasal sprays. This series of automatic triggers includes 4 different models, which are respectively used for the triggering of multi-dose nasal sprays, single-dose nasal sprays, single-side pressing nasal sprays and double-side pressing nasal sprays. Although this series of devices meets the FDA's regulatory requirements for triggers and can help achieve the automatic triggering of nasal spray and aerosol series tests, such as pre-spray, spray weight, connection to UDSA, sampling for spray uniformity test, etc., there are two problems. First, the functions of this series of nasal spray triggers are single, and it is impossible to achieve functions such as single-dose, multi-dose, single-side and double-side pressing at the same time. Therefore, for the determination of different types of nasal sprays, these four devices need to be configured at the same time, which is not only inconvenient to use but also too costly. Second, this series of devices is only developed and produced in the United States, and there is no precedent for research and development in China. Therefore, the price of this type of device is expensive, the cost performance is low, and it cannot be matched with domestic particle size testing devices. These problems have high costs, low efficiency and serious technical barriers in the research and development of domestic nasal sprays. There is an urgent need to design a triggering device that can be applied to various different types of nasal sprays, single-dose and multi-dose nasal sprays to promote the development of new nasal spray products.
