How Occoris® works
The core of the Occoris® engine is simple and
small. Accurate and reproducible delivery of the
API is achieved using a straightforward mechanism
that releases the powder from a sealed container
containing a defined unit dose in a single, coordinated
action. Upon the release of the powder, the internal
energy source accelerates and separates the pure API
particles generating a fully deagglomerated aerosol
in a way that is not possible with passive devices.
Actuation of the Occoris® engine is performed by
a unique, low-cost breath-actuation mechanism
(BAM). The feasibility study determined that the BAM
can be triggered at a pressure drop of 1.4 kPa at low
flowrates, although this mechanism can be easily
tuned to suit a particular patient’s needs.
The Occoris® engine ensures that each dose is
identical and is delivered completely independently of
the inspiratory characteristics of the user. The result
is an API-only platform DPI engine producing very high
FPF with low throat deposition. All the benefits of an
active device at the cost of a passive device.
