WEIGHT DEPENDENT, AUTOMATIC FILLING DOSAGE SYSTEM AND METHODOF USING SAME

摘要

A weight dependent, automatic filling dosage system including a pump, controlled by a minicomputer, in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir. A connecting tube provides fluid communication between the pump and a syringe assembly. The syringe assembly includes a gun body having a handle assembly and a barrel for receiving flui d. A fluid inlet passes through the plunger assembly. The handle assembly is connected to a shaft attached to the plunger assembly. The system includes devices for weighing and restraini ng the subject. The method of medicating subjects with varying doses of various substances includes the steps of weighing the subject and sending a weight signal to the computer. T he computer calculates the required dosage to be administered to the subject according t o its weight. A dosage signal is sent to the pump to fill the syringe with the proper dosage . Once filled, the dosage is administered to the subject.
