US Patent:

7027859, Apr 11, 2006
Filed:

Sep 26, 1994
Appl. No.:

08/312336
Inventors:

Larry A. McNichols - Coon Rapids MN, US
John D. Badzinski - Coon Rapids MN, US
William N. Reining - Cross Plains WI, US
Gary A. Lattin - Forest Lake MN, US
Ronald P Haak - Menlo Park CA, US
Joseph B. Phipps - Plymouth MN, US
Assignee:

ALZA Corporation - Mountain View CA
International Classification:

A61N 1/30
US Classification:

604 20, 604110
Abstract:

An electrotransport device () for delivering one or more therapeutic agents through the skin includes electrodes () for contacting the skin (), at least one electrode containing the agent, a power source () for generating electrical current (I) for delivering the agent, a current generating and controlling means (), and a disabling means () for permanently and irreversibly disabling the current. The disabling means () may include a timer means (), a counter means (), or a body parameter sensor () and limit comparator () to effect permanent disabling. The disabling means may be a permanent transition to a disabled logic state, a permanent discharge of a power supply source (), or a permanent diversion of electrotransport current from the electrodes (), or a combination of the above. The permanent disabling means may include a circuit connection means () having a frangible conducting member () which permanently fractures and causes an irreversible open circuit in the connection to the electrodes () upon removing a disposable/single use electrode assembly () from a reusable portion of an electrotransport device.
