Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a suction arrangement. Background Art

[0002] Inhalation of medication can be complicated, particularly for small children. Coordinating breathing with medication inhalation is problematic, and mouthpieces or masks can be difficult for small children to use. For very young children, inhaled medication is sometimes delivered via nasal cannulae. However, the actual dose of medication inhaled by the child is difficult to control, as some of the medication will remain in the nose, and another portion of the medication, which is pushed through the nasal cannulae, will escape into the surrounding environment because the child's breathing is not coordinated with the medication delivery. Small children do not inhale deeply or regularly, and also have very short breathing cycles. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the delivered dose of inhaled medication. Current understanding is that with standard devices, approximately 1-10% of the medication reaches the target organ, namely the lungs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved inhalation arrangement for small children.

[0004] This is achieved by the intake arrangement according to claim 1 .

[0005] According to the present invention, there is provided an inhalation arrangement, wherein the inhalation arrangement comprises a nipple part and a nose part, which are configured to be connected to each other, the nipple part comprising:

[0006] a nipple configured to be provided inside the mouth of a user of the inhalation arrangement, the nipple including a passageway therethrough through which fluid may pass; and

[0007] a housing connected to the nipple, the housing comprising:

[0008] a nipple member medicament compartment fluidly connected to the passageway of the nipple member;

[0009] a nipple component medicine inlet configured to be connected to an external medicine supply device, the nipple component medicine inlet being connected to the nipple component medicine compartment and configured to transfer medicine supplied from the connected external medicine supply device into the nipple component medicine compartment;

[0010] a gas inlet port that allows air or other gas to enter the nipple component medicine compartment; and

[0011] a nose piece connector configured to connect to the nipple piece connector of the nose piece,

[0012] The nose piece comprises:

[0013] Nasal component medication compartment;

[0014] a nasal attachment member connected to the nasal member medicament compartment and configured to transfer medicament from the nasal member medicament compartment to a nose of a user of the inhalation arrangement; and

[0015] A nipple piece connector is configured to connect to the nose piece connector of the nipple piece and thereby fluidly connect the nose piece medicament compartment and the nipple piece medicament compartment.

[0016] Thus, an inhalation arrangement is achieved through which children can inhale both through the mouth and nose. Medication can be inhaled through the mouth through the nipple component of the inhalation arrangement, and through the nose through the nasal component of the inhalation arrangement. Thus, even if a child has a blocked nose, medication can be delivered. Furthermore, because the nipple component's medication compartment acts as a medication reservoir, children can inhale medication at their own pace. Thus, less medication will be lost to the surrounding environment and the upper airway mucosa. Similarly, the medication dose delivered to the child can be better controlled and monitored. Furthermore, the nipple component of the inhalation arrangement is more likely to be better accepted by small children than other types of mouthpieces or masks for inhalation, and because the nipple component extends into the child's mouth, medication will be delivered further into the child's mouth. Thus, compared to inhalers of the prior art, a larger portion of medication will reach the trachea or lungs, and less medication will be retained in the mouth and nose. This means that the predictability of a given dose is significantly more accurate than in the prior art.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the nose piece further includes a nose piece medication inlet configured to be connected to an external medication supply device, the nose piece medication inlet being connected to the nose piece medication compartment and configured to transfer medication supplied from the connected external medication supply device into the nose piece medication compartment. Thus, medication can be supplied via both the nose piece and the nipple piece.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the nasal component further comprises at least one gas flow inlet connected to the nasal component medication compartment and configured to transfer gas from a connected external gas supply device into the nasal component medication compartment. Thus, gases such as air and / or oxygen can be provided in the same manner as a conventional continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) system or a high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) system.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the nipple component medication inlet includes an atomizing device, through which the medication is transferred into the nipple component medication compartment. If a nasal component medication inlet is provided in the nose component, the atomizing device may also be provided to the nasal component medication inlet. Thus, medication can be supplied to the inhalation arrangement and, when transferred through the atomizing device, the medication will be atomized.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the atomizing device includes a fine-pored membrane, whereby the drug provided from a connected external drug supply device will be atomized when transferred through the fine-pored membrane. Thus, atomized drug suitable for inhalation can be transferred to the user via the inhalation arrangement structure according to the present invention.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the nipple component medication inlet is configured to be connected to a source of aerosolized medication.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, the nose piece connector is a closed valve when no nose piece is connected to the nipple piece, and is an open valve when the nose piece is connected to the nipple piece. Thus, when the nipple piece and the nose piece are connected, the nipple piece medicament compartment and the nose piece medicament compartment are fluidly connected. However, when the nose piece is not connected to the nipple piece, the nipple piece can be used on its own.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the nasal attachment member comprises a nostril insert or a nasal mask.Thereby, the inhaled medicament can be effectively delivered to the nose of a user of the inhalation arrangement.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, the nipple member further comprises a shield, wherein the nipple piece protrudes from a first surface of the shield, and the housing is provided on a second surface of the shield, the second surface being opposite to the first surface.

[0025] In one embodiment of the invention, the shield further comprises a hook for allowing securing the inhalation arrangement to the user's head. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] exist Figure 1-7 Schematically illustrating some different embodiments of an inhalation arrangement 1; 101; 201; 301; 401 according to the present invention. Many details are identical and are therefore given the same or corresponding reference numerals. The different embodiments are described in more detail below, but first a general description of the invention is given with reference to all of the drawings.

[0034] The suction arrangement 1; 101; 201; 301; 401 according to the present invention is an suction arrangement that is particularly suitable for small children and comprises a nipple part 3; 3' and a nose part 5; 5'; 5"; 5"', which are configured to be connected to each other. In some embodiments, the nipple part 3; 3' and the nose part 5; 5'; 5"; 5"' can be fixedly connected to each other, and in other embodiments, they can be releasably connected to each other. The nipple part 3; 3' comprises a nipple piece 11, which is configured to be provided inside the mouth of a user of the suction arrangement 1; 101; 201; 301; 401. The nipple piece 11 comprises a channel 13 through which fluid can pass. As in a conventional nipple, the nipple part 3; 3' also suitably comprises a shield 17 connected to the nipple piece 11. The shield 17 is provided for ensuring that the nipple piece is not swallowed by a child. The nipple part 3; 3' further comprises a shell 21 connected to the shield 17. Compared to the position of the nipple 11, the housing 21 is provided on the opposite side of the shield 17, i.e., the nipple 11 and the housing 21 are connected to opposite surfaces of the shield 17. The nipple 11 protrudes from the first surface 17a of the shield 17, and the housing 21 is provided on the second surface 17b of the shield 17, which is opposite the first surface 17a. The housing 21 includes a nipple component medicine compartment 23. The nipple component medicine compartment 23 serves as a reservoir for medication to be inhaled via the inhalation arrangement 1; 101; 201; 301; 401. That is, medication to be administered to a child via the inhalation arrangement is first collected in the nipple component medicine compartment 23. This reduces the risk of medication loss (e.g., through escape through the user's mouth) due to the likelihood of medication being collected in the reservoir on its way to the user. Because the nipple component medicine compartment 23 acts as a reservoir for medication, the medication will instead be administered in coordination with the user's inhalation. This also allows the child to inhale the medication with tidal breathing and does not require coordination. When the user inhales via the nipple of the inhalation arrangement, the medication is administered to the user from the nipple medication compartment 23. The nipple medication compartment 23 is fluidly connected to the passage 13 of the nipple 11.

[0035] The housing 21 further includes a nipple component medicine inlet 31, which is configured to be connected to an external medicine supply device. The nipple component medicine inlet 31 is connected to the nipple component medicine compartment 23 and is configured to transfer the medicine provided from the connected external medicine supply device into the nipple component medicine compartment 23. The housing 21 further includes a gas inlet 41, which is connected to the nipple component medicine compartment 23 and allows air or other gas to enter the nipple component medicine compartment 23. In some embodiments, the nipple component medicine inlet 31 and the gas inlet 41 are combined, which will be described below. Figure 3 Further description.

[0036] The gas inlet 41 suitably includes a one-way valve, whereby when the user inhales, air or other gas can be drawn into the nipple component medicine compartment 23 by the user, but no medicine can escape from the gas inlet 41. The gas inlet 41 is necessary to allow the user to inhale freely, which will greatly improve the administration of the medicine through the airflow generated when inhaling.

[0037] The housing 21 further comprises a nose piece connector 51 which is configured to be connected to the nose piece 5; 5'; 5", 5'". As mentioned above, in some embodiments the nipple piece 3; 3' and the nose piece 5; 5'; 5", 5'" may be permanently connected to each other, and in other embodiments they may be releasably connected to each other. Thus, the nose piece connector 51 may be either fixedly connected to the nose piece 5; 5'; 5", 5'" or configured to allow the nose piece 5; 5'; 5", 5'" to be connected to the nipple piece 3; 3'.

[0038] The nose piece 5 of the inhalation arrangement 1; 101; 201; 301; 401 comprises a nose piece medicament compartment 61 in which medicament to be inhaled by a user of the inhalation arrangement 1; 101; 201; 301; 401 can be collected before inhalation. The nose piece 5 further comprises a nose attachment part 63; 63' which comprises, for example, Figure 1-5 The two nostril insertion members 64 shown in FIG. Figure 664' is shown in the nasal mask 64'. The nasal attachment part 63; 63' is connected to the nasal part medicine compartment 61 and is configured to transfer medicine from the nasal part medicine compartment 61 to the nose of the user of the inhalation arrangement structure 1; 101; 201; 301; 401. The nasal part 5; 5'; 5"; 5"' further includes a nipple part connector 65 configured to be connected to the nipple part 3; 3'. As described above, in some embodiments, the nipple part connector 65 is fixedly connected to the nasal part connector 51 of the nipple part 3; 3', and in other embodiments, is configured to allow releasable connection to the nasal part connector 51 of the nipple part 3; 3'. When the nipple part 3; 3' and the nasal part 5; 5'; 5"; 5"' are connected, that is, when the nipple part connector 65 and the nasal part connector 51 are connected, the nasal part medicine compartment 61 is fluidly connected to the nipple part medicine compartment 23. Thus, the medicine transferred from the external medicine providing device into the nipple component medicine compartment 23 can be transferred into the user's mouth via the nipple piece 11, but can also be transferred into the nasal component medicine compartment 61 and further transferred into the nose of the user of the inhalation arrangement structure 1; 101; 201; 301; 401 via the nasal attachment part 63; 63'. Thus, the medicine is effectively administered via both the mouth and the nose of the user of the inhalation arrangement structure. When the nipple component 3; 3' and the nasal component 5; 5'; 5"; 5"' are not connected, in some embodiments, the nasal component connector 51 is a closed valve, whereby the nipple component 3; 3' can be used without the nasal component 5; 5'; 5"; 5"'. When the nipple component and the nasal component are connected, the valve of the nasal component connector 51 will be open.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the nasal component 5; 5'" further includes a nasal component medication inlet 67 connected to the nasal component medication compartment 61 and configured to transfer medication from a connected external medication providing device into the nasal component medication compartment 61.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the nose piece 5; 5"; 5"' further comprises at least one gas flow inlet 69 connected to the nose piece medicine compartment 61 and configured to transfer gas from a connected external gas supply device into the nose piece medicine compartment 61. Thus, air or additional oxygen can be conveniently administered together with the medicine.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the nipple component medication inlet 31 includes an atomizing device 71 through which the medication is transferred into the nipple component medication compartment 23. The atomizing device 71 can be a fine-pored membrane, also known as a nozzle. When the medication is forced through the fine-pored membrane, the fine-pored membrane will atomize the medication. In other embodiments, the nipple component medication inlet 31 is configured to be connected to a source of already atomized medication. This is Figure 3If the nose part 5; 5 "' includes a nose part medicine inlet 67 (such as Figure 1-3 and 6), the nasal component drug inlet 67 may also include an atomizing device 71, such as a fine-porous membrane.

[0042] In some embodiments of the invention, the shield 17 comprises a hook 75 for allowing the inhalation arrangement 1 ; 101 ; 201 ; 301 ; 401 to be secured to the head of a user.

[0043] Some specific embodiments will now be described in more detail with reference to the respective drawings.

[0044] exist Figure 1 In FIG, a suction arrangement 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in a perspective view. Figure 2 , the same inhalation arrangement 1 is shown in another perspective view, with the addition of an illustration of the flow of medication through the inhalation arrangement 1. The flow of medication is illustrated by arrows, which will be described in more detail below. The inhalation arrangement 1 includes a nipple part 3 and a nose part 5, which are connected to each other here. In some embodiments, the nose part 5 can be disconnected and the nipple part 3 can be used on its own. Possibly, the nose part 5 can also be used on its own. Figure 7 1 and 2. The nipple component 3 is shown as a separate component. As described above for the general embodiment, the nipple component 3 includes a nipple 11 and a housing 21. A shield 17 is also provided, which may be a part of the housing 21 or a separate component provided between the nipple 11 and the housing 21. As described above, the housing 21 includes a nipple component medicine compartment 23, a nipple component medicine inlet 31, a gas inlet 41 and a nose component connector 51. The nose component connector 51 may be provided in a manner similar to the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 See better in Figure 7 As shown in FIG, the nose piece connector 51 may be a valve that is closed when the nose piece 5 is not connected to the nipple piece 3. Thus, the nipple piece 3 can be used on its own without being connected to the nose piece 5. The nipple piece medicine inlet 31 is configured to be connected to an external medicine supply device (not shown). A tube 90 is shown connected to the nipple piece medicine inlet 31, and the tube 90 will be connected to the external medicine supply device at its other end.

[0045] As described above, the nose component 5 includes a nose component medication compartment 61, a nose attachment component 63, and a nipple component connector 65 (hidden in the drawings but provided to mate with the nose component connector 51). In this embodiment, the nose attachment component 63 includes two nostril insertion components 64. The nose attachment component 63 may alternatively include a nipple component such as Figure 6 The nose mask 64' shown in Figure 1-5All of the embodiments illustrated in the drawings may include a nasal mask 64' in place of the nostril insert 64 or another device for transferring medication into the user's nose.

[0046] In such Figure 1 and 2 In the embodiment shown in FIG, the nasal component 5 further includes a nasal component medicine inlet 67, which is configured to be connected to an external medicine supply device (not shown). A tube 91 is shown connected to the nasal component medicine inlet 67, and the tube 91 will be connected to the external medicine supply device at its other end. The nasal component medicine inlet 67 is connected to the nasal component medicine compartment 61 and is configured to transfer the medicine provided from the connected external medicine supply device into the nasal component medicine compartment 61. However, as Figure 4 and 5 In the embodiment illustrated in FIG, such a nasal component medication inlet 67 and a separate connection of the nasal component 5 to a medication providing device are not necessary.

[0047] exist Figure 1 and 2 In the embodiment of FIG. 5 , the nasal component 5 further includes two gas flow inlets 69 that are connected to the nasal component medicine compartment 61 and are configured to transfer gas from a connected external gas supply device into the nasal component medicine compartment 61. Tubes 92 a, 92 b are shown connected to the gas flow inlets 69, and the tubes 92 a, 92 b are connected in their opposite ends to a gas source, such as an air and / or oxygen source, in the same manner as a conventional continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) system or a high flow nasal cannula (HFNC).

[0048] In this embodiment, the nipple component medicine inlet 31 includes an atomizing device 71 through which the medicine is transferred into the nipple component medicine compartment 23. The atomizing device 71 includes a fine-pored membrane, whereby the medicine supplied from a connected external medicine supply device will be atomized when being transferred through the fine-pored membrane. Such an atomizing device 71 (e.g., in the form of a fine-pored membrane) may also be provided to the nose component medicine inlet 67 of the nose component 5. Thus, the medicine supplied from the external medicine supply device will be atomized when being transferred through the atomizing device 71 of the nose component medicine inlet 67.

[0049] exist Figure 2, the flow of medication through the inhalation arrangement 1 is illustrated. Medication is provided from an external medication supply device, which, in this embodiment, is connected to both the nipple component medication inlet 31 and the nasal component medication inlet 67. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, medication may be provided only via the nipple component medication inlet 31. The solid arrows illustrate medication provided via the nipple component 3, and the dashed arrows illustrate medication provided via the nasal component 5. The nasal component medication compartment 61 is connected to the nipple component medication compartment 23 via the connection between the nipple component 3 and the nasal component 5, and medication can flow between the nipple component medication compartment and the nasal component medication compartment. This creates a universal system in which medication can be delivered through any orifice used for breathing, i.e., the nose, mouth, or both. This minimizes medication waste.

[0050] exist Figure 3 In the figure, a perspective view of a suction arrangement 101 according to another embodiment of the invention is shown. Most of the details are similar to those for the embodiment shown in FIG. Figure 1 and 2 The embodiment described is the same and will not be described again. However, in this embodiment, the nipple component medication inlet 31' and the gas inlet 41' of the nipple component 3' are slightly different. Here, the nipple component medication inlet 31' and the gas inlet 41' are combined in a connector, which is configured to be connected to an external medication supply via a tube 90'. In this embodiment, the external medication supply will supply both medication and gas to the nipple component medication compartment 23 of the inhalation arrangement 101 via the tube 90'. In this embodiment, the medication is already aerosolized. Therefore, no aerosolization device is provided in the nipple component 3'.

[0051] Figure 4 FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a suction arrangement 201 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 、 2 The same as the nipple part 3 shown in Figure 7. However, the nipple part can also be Figure 3 The pacifier part 3' is the same as the one shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the nose part 5' does not include a nasal part medication inlet or any gas flow inlet. In this embodiment, all medications are supplied via the pacifier part 3, i.e., from an external medication supply device connected to the pacifier part medication inlet 31. The medication is supplied via the connection between the pacifier part and the nose part (with Figure 2 1 ) from the nipple part medicament compartment 23 to the nasal part medicament compartment 61. In this embodiment, the nasal part 5' is not connected to an external gas flow, such as CPAP or HFNC, and thus the inhalation arrangement 201 according to this embodiment can also be used, for example, at home or in other places where there is no possibility of connecting to a medical device.

[0052] Figure 5 is a perspective view of an inhalation arrangement 301 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 An embodiment similar to the embodiment described above, but with the addition of the ability to connect the nose piece 5" to an external gas supply. Thus, the nose piece 5 includes a Figure 1 and 2 6. However, in this embodiment, the nose piece 5" does not include a gas flow inlet 69 as described for the embodiment shown in FIG. Figure 1 and 2 The embodiment shown in the nose part medicine inlet 67. All inhaled medicines are provided via the nipple part 3 instead, as for Figure 4 The embodiments described.

[0053] Figure 6 is a perspective view of an inhalation arrangement 401 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and 2 The described embodiments are identical and will not be described again. However, the nose component 5'' includes a nose attachment component 63' having a nose mask 64' for transferring medication into the nose of a user of the inhalation arrangement 401. The nose mask 64' is configured to be attached to the nose of the user so that it covers the nostrils of the nose. In all embodiments of the present invention, such a nose mask 64' may be used instead of the nostril insertion component 64.
