DEFINITION

Classification: 128/200.14

LIQUID MEDICAMENT ATOMIZER OR SPRAYER:

(under the class definition) Subject matter which reduces a liquid medicament (e.g., water, disinfectant, decomgestant, etc.) to minute particles, or which produces a diffused spray of such liquid (e.g., shower head-type diffusers, etc.).

(1) Note. Atomizers or sprayers, per se, are classified in other classes (e.g., Class 239, Fluid Sprinkling, Spraying, and Diffusing) when no means particularly adapting them for use on or in a living body is claimed, or when no structure adapted to be connected to a respiratory device for a living thing is claimed and something other than a medicament is atomized or sprayed.

(2) Note. Atomizers for dispensing adhesive to body tissue, either internally or externally, are classified in Class 604 when the atomized adhesive is not inhaled.
