Innovata's Qdose insulin is a dry powder pulmonary
insulin inhaler. It claims that this product is better than most of its
contemporaries. It also makes possible to switch over from insulin
needles, as some people are not comfortable with needles. QDose is an
electronic, dry powder, multi-unit dose device based on the
de-agglomeration of insulin powder, which is achieved through the
dispersion if pizo crystals that vibrate within the device upon breath
activation of an internal microphone. This device makes diabetes
treatment easier. This device will make it very simple to control
diabetes mellitus, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational
diabetes.
In a press release, the American
Diabetes Association has said that it is eagerly waiting for the launch
of this product. For further details, read Some

Innovata
developed the dry powder formulation, while the device technology was
developed by Microdose Technologies. The market for pulmonary insulin,
fuelled by Exubera- another device, is constantly growing. QDose insulin
is tipped to give Exubera a run for its money when it is released. The
QDose device is also much more discreet and user-friendly than the
Exubera device. Innovata has been working with an undisclosed plastics
moulding firm to make the device, but the firm is planning to hand over
the control of the manufacturing to Microdose technologies.
