Metrology for drug delivery continues!
Recently the project team has won a new grant! With this new grant the knowledge and experience gained on infusion technology will be made available through an e-learning module. We are very proud this course will be offered on the e-learning platform from the European Society of Intensive Care Medice (ESICM). Other close parthers are the European Society of [...]
Multi infusion E-learning
This E-learning is intended to create awareness on the risks of multi-infusion. Our aim is to improve your understanding of the physical characteristics of infusion systems. We discuss both pumps and disposables. We focus on their influence on the dose rate and potential dosing errors that can be clinically relevant.
Assessment of drug delivery devices and accessories
In this report it is studied whether typical infusion pumps perform within accuracy specifications. Additionally, the startup time is studied. This is a very important parameter because it defines how long it takes before the patient receives the infusion doses that it needs. It will also be investigated how the compliance and start up delay depend [...]
Characterisation of hte flow generator NEXUS 3000
In task 1.4.2 the primary standards are subject to an inter comparison by means of a flow meter and a flow generator. This report covers the part of the characterization of the flow generator, in this case a syringe pump NEXUS 3000.
