A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11883588B2) discloses a method for operating a nasal drug delivery device. The method involves moving an actuation button to initiate the process, which includes piercing a medicament container containing powdered medication with a first needle and a compressed gas container with a second needle. This action opens a fluid flow communication between the two containers, allowing the powdered medication to be expelled from the medicament container through an outlet. The patent also describes a configuration where the first and second needles form a double-sided needle, with the fluid flow communication opening after both containers have been pierced.
Furthermore, the patent details additional features of the nasal drug delivery device, such as a needle hub attached to the double-sided needle, moveable biasing members positioned between the containers and the needle hub, and a specific arrangement of springs with different stiffness levels. The method also includes steps for piercing septums sealing the containers and specifies the use of powdered glucagon as the medicament. Another variation of the method involves moving the compressed gas container towards the second needle in response to the actuation button, ensuring the efficient expulsion of the powdered medication. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive method for operating a nasal drug delivery device, emphasizing the precise steps and components involved in the process.
