ELECTRONIC MODULE FOR INHALER AND INHALER ASSEMBLY COMPRISING ELECTRONIC MODULE Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A61M15/00 H02J7/00 H02J9/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely to an electronic module for an inhaler and an inhaler assembly. Electronic module for the inhaler: the electronic module is connected or configured to be connected to the inhaler and comprises printed wiring board (24) containing electronic components (25, 26, 27). Electronic components (25, 26, 27) are configured to detect the state and/or operating parameter of inhaler (2) when electronic module (3) is connected to inhaler (2). Electronic module includes battery (28) permanently connected to printed circuit board (24). Printed circuit board (24) comprises first terminal (33) and second terminal (34), configured to be electrically connected to each other via main switch (100) to close the circuit between battery (28) and electronic components (25, 26, 27) to switch on power supply of electronic components (25, 26, 27). In the rest configuration of electronic module (3), first terminal (33) and second terminal (34) are electrically separated by means of main switch (100). In the operating configuration of electronic module (3), first terminal (33) and second terminal (34) are electrically connected to each other by means of said main switch (100). Latch circuit (32) is functionally electrically placed between battery (28) and electronic components (25, 26, 27). When electronic module (3) is in working configuration, latch circuit (32) is made with possibility to maintain power supply to electronic components (25, 26, 27) during temporary disconnection of first terminal (33) from second terminal (34) due to failure main switch (100). Inhaler assembly comprises container (8) for storing a powdered drug, mouthpiece (6) and inhalation channel (9) connected to mouthpiece (6), measuring device (10) having dosing recess (11). Metering device (10) is movable relative to container (8) and inhalation channel (9), between an inoperative state, in which dispensing recess (11) is in communication with opening (12) of container (8) in order to be filled with a dose of powder medication, and an initiated state in which dispensing recess (11) is in communication with inhalation channel (9) to allow inhalation of a dose of the powdered medicament contained in dispensing recess (11) through mouthpiece (6). Electronic components (25, 26, 27) of electronic module (3) comprise: sensor (25) arranged and configured to detect position of measuring device (10), when electronic module (3) is connected to inhaler (2) in order to detect, measuring device (10) is in an initiated state.

EFFECT: providing an electronic module for inhalers with a power supply, which is resistant to mechanical forces, thus preventing power failures.
