CONTINUOUSLY OPERATING INFUSION DEVICE AND METHOD.

摘要

A continuously operating infusion device has two discrete infusion bottles (12) for at least one fluid to be injected to a patient by means of a tubing, each bottle having means (51) for detecting that the infusion of the fluid contained therein is completed and for controlling fluid flow interruption means (53). The device has an upstream infusion device (10) with two feed tubes (50) connected to a bottle (12) and a downstream infusion device (70) with fluid pumping means (72, 84) connected to the patient by a downstream tube (78) as well as to connector means (54). The device is useful for conducting infusions prior to an imaging procedure by X-ray or NMR scanner.
