A metered dose delivery system for medication, including a dispenser (55, 56) in which a medication canister (60) is disposed. The dispenser has a locking mechanism for selectively preventing a certain amount of medicine from being supplied. The system receives input data from the user and has a controller remote from the dispenser to lock the dispenser until the input data is correctly entered. The dispenser can be set by a cartridge (100) inserted in the dispenser instead of the canister (60). The dispenser also has means for determining the position of the dispenser and locking the device when the dispenser is not in a certain position. |
