    摘要: The present invention is directed to valves for use in controlling the flow of fluid and, more particularly, to a triggerable passive valve for use in controlling the flow of fluid. In one embodiment, a fluid delivery channel is connected to a flow restrictor and a passive valve positioned in the fluid delivery channel downstream from the flow restrictor. The first passive valve prevents fluid from moving through the channel when the pressure exerted by the fluid on the first passive valve is below the burst pressure. A pneumatic actuator actuates the valve by forcing fluid through the passive valve.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to methods for controlling the flow of fluid and, more particularly, to a method of using triggerable passive valves to control the flow of fluid. In one embodiment of the present invention a method of using triggerable passive valves to control the flow of fluid is described wherein fluid is moved through a passive valve by providing pneumatic pressure between the passive valve and a flow restrictor, the pneumatic pressure exerted causing the pressure exerted by the fluid on the passive valve to exceed the burst pressure of the passive valve.

    摘要: Systems and methods of detecting occlusions and fluid-loss conditions (e.g., disconnects and/or leakages) in an infusion pump are discussed. For example, electrokinetic infusion pumps may develop an occlusion in the fluid flow path, which can disrupt control of fluid dispersed from the pump. As well, an infusion set disconnect can also result in a fluid-loss that can be disruptive. Such disruptions can be troublesome to systems that control the infusion pump, such as closed loop controllers. Accordingly, systems and methods described herein can be used to detect such occlusions and fluid-loss conditions during infusion pump operation. For example, a position sensor can be used to monitor fluid flow from the infusion pump, with the measurement being compared with an expected value to detect an occlusion or fluid-loss condition. Other algorithms for utilizing the position sensor are also described.
