CONTINUOUS DOSING SYSTEMS AND APPROACHES

Abstract:

A drug delivery system includes a delivery container including a container body adapted to accommodate a drug therein, a supply line, and a flow rate monitor. The delivery container further includes inlet and outlet ports and is constructed from a resilient material. The container body is adapted to exert an urging force on the drug to expel the drug from the outlet port. The supply line is operably coupled to the outlet port to deliver the drug to a user. The flow rate monitor is operably coupled to at least one of the delivery container and the supply line. The flow rate monitor includes a flow rate sensor that senses a flow rate of the drug within the supply line.
