Patent number: 10716906Abstract: A nebulizer and a container with a fluid for such a nebulizer are proposed. The container comprises an indicator device fixedly mounted on the bottom of the container. When a predetermined number of uses of the container (3) with the nebulizer (1) has been reached or exceeded, a signal element becomes visible on the indicator device. The indicator device stops further use of the container in a locked state when a predetermined number of uses has been reached or exceeded. Then, the nebulizer is partially opened and blocked against further use. After replacement of the container including the indicator device, the nebulizer can be used again.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2015Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Joachim Eicher, Hubert Hoelz, Martin Meisenheimer, Joern-Eric Schulz, Herbert Wachtel

Patent number: 10716907Abstract: A nebulizer is proposed which receives a container with a fluid and an indicator device. The indicator device stops further use of the container in a locked state when a predetermined number of uses has been reached or exceeded. In the locked state, a locking device locks the nebulizer against rotation in a partially tensioned state and, thus, against further use. After replacement of the container including the indicator device, the nebulizer can be used again.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2015Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Joachim Eicher, Josef Gatz, Markus Mueller, Herbert Wachtel

Patent number: 10391270Abstract: A method, an electronic device, a system and an information storage medium for practicing and/or controlling an inhalation process of a patient. The method involves quantifying an airflow in a mouthpiece of an inhaler during an inhalation process of the patient using an inhalation training device, evaluating an airflow signal received from the inhalation training device via an electronic device and providing visual feedback to the patient with the electronic device, the visual feedback varying with one or more time-variant characteristics of the evaluated airflow signal. The electronic device is configured for evaluation of an airflow signal received from an inhalation training device and for provision of visual feedback to the patient, the visual feedback varying with one or more time-variant characteristics of the evaluated signal. The inhalation training system comprises an inhalation training device, an inhaler and the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2015Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM INTERNATIONAL GMBHInventors: Patricia Adams, Marion Frank, Herbert Wachtel

Patent number: 10258753Abstract: An inhalation training system and a method for practicing of an inhalation process and a method of operating a portable communications device in this respect and to an information storage medium are improved. An air flow during inhalation is converted into an acoustic signal, especially a whistling tone. The acoustic signal is picked up by a microphone of a portable communications device, such as a smartphone, and is electronically evaluated. The inhalation training system has a mouthpiece and a converter apparatus for converting the air flow into the acoustic signal and in addition has a holding apparatus for especially detachable holding of the communications device.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2013Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM INTERNATIONAL GMBHInventors: Patricia Adams, Marion Frank, Herbert Wachtel
