    Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering formulations to users using modular device having atomizer and wick assembly are disclosed. A formulation delivery system that includes a mouthpiece with a first attaching structure at one end and a removable cartridge with a second attaching structure that connects to the mouthpiece. The removable cartridge houses an atomizer at its first end and features a wick assembly with a removable cap and a wick made from an absorbent material. The wick, which transports fluid to the atomizer, is connected at one end to the removable cap and at the other end abuts the atomizer. The system also includes a channel within the removable cartridge; this channel extends to the cartridge's first end and houses the wick, while the removable cap is located outside the channel. Additionally, the system incorporates electronics that maintain a removable electrical connection with the cartridge.

    Abstract: A method for veterinary administration of medication to an animal, particularly a horse, is disclosed. The method involves inserting a capsule containing the medication, which is a liquid formulation, into a device connected to a tubular chamber. An atomizer is activated to atomize the medication, producing atomized medication. Before administration, a force is applied to a mask placed over the animal's muzzle, connected to the chamber. The atomized medication is then delivered to the animal. The liquid formulation, in some instances, comprises cells, cellular byproducts, or cell-derived products such as stem cells or products from human mesenchymal stem cells. This formulation may lack preservatives and may encompass peptides, proteins, growth factors, cytokines, exosomes, and extracellular vesicles. The delivery mechanism may involve deflating an air bladder to convey the atomized medication. The capsule allows for controlled transfer of the medication between chambers within it, facilitated by removing barriers and applying force.

    Abstract: The invention pertains to a capsule system for use with a medical device designed to administer atomized medication to patients. The system features a chamber containing the medication and an atomizer at a lower end for efficient drug delivery. Notably, the system incorporates a fluid sensor and electrical contacts to ensure proper operation and medication delivery. The capsule's design includes a housing with an asymmetrical transverse cross-sectional shape for unique fitting, and a tapered wall to direct medication towards the atomizer. The capsule may also connect to an external container or include a stopper for refilling medication. A specific embodiment features two chambers with a rupturing element to facilitate medication transfer. Another embodiment includes a removable container, like a vial, within the first chamber. This novel system provides improvements in accuracy, versatility, and user-friendliness, overcoming limitations in prior art.
