Research abstract
Lynntech proposes to develop a compact, lightweight, disposable drug infusion pump with integrated safety features. These features include direct monitoring of the fluid flow, air bubble elimination, and inline air bubble detection. Fluid delivery is achieved using a hermetically sealed, dual-diaphragm pump actuated via Lynntech’s highly energy efficient electrochemical system. In Phase I a prototype pump demonstrated the feasibility of a ten-fold reduction in size and weight over conventional infusion pumps. The accuracy and reliability of the flow monitoring system was also demonstrated. A fully integrated prototype will be developed with the goal of achieving dimensions of 32mmx32mmx32mm, weight of 25 g and battery life of 5 days at a maximum flow rate of 500 mL/hr.
