MEDICATION INFUSION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A medication infusion system may include a controller and a reservoir module including a reservoir containing medication to be delivered to an internal wound site via the controller. The controller may have a peristaltic pump driven by a motor to urge medication to flow toward the internal wound site. The controller and the reservoir module may each have a mating surface oriented such that the reservoir module can slide into engagement with the controller along a direction parallel to an axis of rotation of the motor. The controller may also have a blockage detection system that provides an alarm and/or cessation of operation if the infusion line is blocked. Additionally, the controller may have a valve that restricts flow through the infusion line if the line is not properly engaged by the controller to prevent unrestricted fluid flow.
