摘要：
A particulate therapeutic agent delivery device and method are disclosed. The device comprises: - a respiratory-gas channel (13) having a patient end (16) to which a patient may be pneumatically connected； - a particulate-therapeutic-agent channel (19) in pneumatic communication with the respiratory-gas channel； and - a scrubber housing (22) in pneumatic communication with the respiratory-gas channel, the scrubber housing having an expired-gas orifice (25) for receiving expired gas from the respiratory-gas-channel, and a scrubber material (26) situated within the housing so as to receive expired gas via the expired-gas orifice and remove carbon dioxide from the expired gas to provide treated gas, and situated so as to provide the treated gas to the respiratory-gas channel. In a method, a particulate therapeutic agent is provided to the respiratory system of a patient, wherein gas expired by the patient is passed to the scrubber and through the scrubber to provide treated gas, and the treated gas is provided to the respiratory system.
