Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of method of coating powdered medical agent onto a carrier particle for use in a dry powder inhaler may include applying ultrasonic energy to agglomerated powdered medical agent to deaggregate and aerosolize particles of the medical agent into particles having a desired average particle size, and coating at least one carrier particle with a desired amount of the deaggregated and aerosolized particles of the medical agent.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of coating powdered medical agent onto a substrate for use in a dry powder inhaler, the method comprising: applying energy to agglomerated powdered medical agent particles to deaggregate and aerosolize the particles of the medical agent at a first location, wherein the energy comprises at least one of ultrasonic energy, sonic energy, and piezoelectric energy; introducing from a second location that is separate from and spaced-apart relative…
