  • Fluid infusion flow control system
    Patent number: 4838856
    Abstract: Flow of fluid from primary and secondary reservoirs is induced along parallel flow paths to a common infusion device under gravity or pump inducing modes, respectively. The fluid delivered to the infusion device is monitored by a flow meter to measure its actual flow rate and adjust flow along the parallel flow paths to maintain a substantially constant selected flow rate by means of a programmed control system through which selection of the flow inducing mode and the reservoir may be effected.
