Abstract: A flow system, preferably a micro fluidic system, having a base part (4) with at least one flow path formed therein and a lid part (5) being attached to the base part (4) in such a manner that it covers the flow path(s). The flow path(s) comprise(s) a flow restrictor (1) and a flow channel comprising an inlet section positioned immediately upstream relatively to the flow restrictor (1). At least the inlet section of the flow channel has a cross section defining at least two distinct depths of the flow channel. This may be achieved by defining a centre section (3) and at least one peripheral section (2), the centre section (3) having a depth and a width which are substantially larger than the depth(s) and width(s) of the peripheral section(s) (2). If air bubbles are formed in the system this design of the inlet section will allow a flow of liquid to enter the shallower parts of the flow channel, while the air bubbles are confined to the deeper parts of the flow channel.

Abstract: In a capillary carrier with an inlet and an outlet, a channel is formed and extends between the inlet and the outlet. At least one capillary tube is arranged within the channel, and sealing elements, by which the capillary tube is sealingly fixed to the channel, are arranged at least near an inlet portion and an outlet portion of the capillary tube. An area is formed limited by a part of the channel, the sealing elements and the exterior of the capillary tube, which is in connection with the exterior of the carrier through a fluid communication pad, whereby a possible fluid leak across the sealing elements will be led to this area, and from there to the exterior of the carrier.
Abstract: An infusion device for continuous infusion of medication is disclosed, in which infusion is controlled over two separate fluid communications. The infusion is in each fluid communication controlled by restricting means and valve means, and one of the fluid communications farther contains a holding device for bolus rate of infusion for a short period. The device comprises a flow regulating device comprising a passage defined by at least a first element and a second element, wherein at least one of the first and second element is a primary deformable element adapted to be elastically deformed so as to change the cross sectional area of the passage. Furthermore the device comprises a container for storage and supply of a medication in fluid form, said container comprising a first and a second chamber being arranged relatively to each other so that when volume of the first chamber Increases the volume of the second chamber decreases.
