<p>An implantable pump system 10 employing a flow regulator isolates the regulator sensing chamber 34 from the path 22 of drug flow. This is accomplished by establishing either an independent sensing chamber 34 in the regulator or coupling it to the propellant chamber 16 of the pump. Additionally, a downstream restrictor 40 may be used to provide an additional pressure drop between the regulator and the outlet catheter 42.</p> |
