Abstract

The invention relates to a hand-held medical device having a counter, preferably a dose dispenser such as an atomizer (1) for dispensing dosed amounts of a drug preparation (2). The mechanical counter (41) comprises a plurality of individual components, at least one of which is designed in such a way that said component can be quasi retrofitted as the last part after the assembly of the atomizer. Said component, with which a characteristic counter function such as preferably the display of the count is associated, is irreversibly connected to the housing of the atomizer. By retrofitting a counter component, the design of the counter, for example the counting range, can be postponed until the time at which the drug formulation, i. e. the dosage specifications with which the device is to be used, is known.
