Appl. No.:

10/279957

Inventors:

Lewis L. Peterson - Woodside CA, US
Fred H. Maruyama - San Jose CA, US

Assignee:

ALZA Corporation - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

A61K 922

US Classification:

6048921, 424422

Abstract:

An osmotic delivery system flow modulator assembly, an osmotic delivery system with a flow modulator assembly, and a method of assembling an osmotic delivery system. The osmotic delivery system flow modular assembly includes a body having a hole located through the body and communicating two opposing ends of the body. The use of the osmotic delivery system flow modulator assembly lessens the chance that air or gas pockets will form in the enclosure of the osmotic delivery system during assembly of the system. Because less air is within the osmotic delivery system, performance of the system is enhanced. Use of the flow modulator assembly also lessens the chance that beneficial agent will be wasted during assembly of the osmotic delivery system.
