Abstract

A device for aerosolizing a liquid includes a chamber (502) having a deformable wall (510) which expands and contracts as fluid is delivered and expelled from a fluid chamber (500). The chamber is partially bounded by a vibrating structure (506) having holes (504) therein for expelling the fluid. In another aspect, the invention provides exemplary aerosolization apparatus (300) and methods for aerosolizing a substance. A liquid is transferred from a first chamber (328) into a second chamber (330) having a substance that is in a dry state to form a solution. The solution is then transferred from the second chamber and onto an atomization member (308). The atomization member is operated to aerosolize the solution.
