Embodiment Construction

[0026] To promote an understanding of the principles of the disclosure, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, and specific language will be used to describe the same. It should be understood, however, that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended.

[0027] In one aspect, an intranasal delivery system comprising a drug administration device for dispensing a drug is disclosed. Such drug administration devices typically include a body housing a reservoir of drug communicated through an exit port, and an actuator mechanism for expelling the drug through the exit port. The discharge port is sealed until use. The actuator is operable to unseal the exit port and cause drug delivery. A common configuration of such drug administration devices includes an actuator extending from the body prior to delivery of the drug. Moving the actuator from the extended position to the depressed position unseals the exit port and releases ...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a medication delivery system (10) including a medication administration device (12), a medication within the medication administration device (12), a container (14) defining a cavity (32) receiving the medication administration device (12), and a cap (16) attached to the container (14) and sealing the medication administration device (12) within the cavity (32). The medication administration device (12) includes an actuator (26) extending from a body (18) and operable to expel the medication by depressing the actuator (26) into the body (18). The cap (16) includes hold down members (44) positioned to bear against the body (18) of the medication administration device (12) to prevent movement of the medication administration device (12) toward the cap (16) beyond a predetermined distance. The medication administration device (12) is thereby prevented, inter alia, from prematurely discharging the medication during storage and transport.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to drug delivery systems that enable maintaining a drug administration device and contained drug in an active state. The present disclosure also relates to medical delivery systems in which the drug administration device can be quickly and easily removed from the container assembly for use. Background technique [0002] A drug system, including a drug applicator with contained drug, needs to be maintained in proper condition from the time the drug applicator is filled with drug to the time of final use by the patient. There is a particular need for delivery systems that enhance the activity of prefilled drug administration devices during storage and transport. Drug administration devices of this type are prone to various quality problems. For example, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently published draft guidance addressing quality considerations for aerosol drug delivery systems. See, [0003] www.fda.go...
