Secure liquid drug dispenser and method for delivering liquid medication
First Claim
1. A secure drug dispenser for delivering doses of a liquid medication for oral administration, comprising:
- a pressurized airtight container (1) defining a pressurized area (10) in which a flexible bag (13) containing the medication to deliver is arranged, said flexible bag (13) being connected to a valve (20) for delivering a dose through a delivery port (23);
a pressure sensor (27); and
within the pressurized area (10), a power supply subsystem (38) and a microcontroller for controlling the valve (20) and for monitoring the pressure within the pressurized area (10).

Abstract
A secure liquid drug dispenser for delivering pre-determined doses of medication for oral administration, including an airtight container (1) pressurized thanks to a micro pump (28) defining a pressurized area (10) in which a flexible bag (13) containing the drug to deliver is attached, the flexible bag (13) being connected to a valve (20) located within a second non pressurized area (21) of the container for delivering doses of drug trough a delivery port (23). A microcontroller within the pressurized area (21) controls the opening of the valve for precise delivery of drug doses and monitors the pressure within the pressurized area (21). The drug dispenser is further equipped with a neutralization subsystem (16) for inactivating the medication contained in the flexible bag (13) and biometrics elements are provided to identify the patient. A method of delivering doses of liquid medication is also disclosed.
