AUTOMATED FLUID FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

A device for control of fluid flow with closed loop quasi static adjustment of in-line pressure-based resistance. The disclosed device and methods of using the device provide for the ability to control a flow rate with a highly portable device; the ability for an operator to safely use the device with minimal training; the ability to automatically switch between a primary and secondary fluid; the ability to maintain a flow rate through a tubing set even when the control device is removed; and the ability to measure fluids introduced with a manual bolus injection.
