The infusion system also includes a measurement device that measures an amount of undelivered first infusate remaining in a receptacle. Furthermore, the infusion system includes a control system that communicates with the first and second delivery devices and the measurement device, determines an optimum first infusate infusion flow rate based on the measured amount of undelivered first infusate remaining in the infusion system, a predetermined infusion time period, and a predetermined first infusion time period, and controls the first delivery unit accordingly. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
