For reasons of expense or convenience, simple elastomer pumps are still used but the infusions are purely mechanical. Shocking facts According to international standards, the tolerance of the flow rate for drugs is high with ±15%. In addition, the application under daily life-circumstances is difficult to realize. Elastomer pumps have a concave pressure profile: the flow rate is higher than the…
