  • Publication number: 20210268183
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling the flow of a fluid in a tube (11) of an infusion pump (1), in particular for chronomodulated administration of anticancer drugs. The inventors found that the actual drug flow exiting such a pump has unexpected time delays and/or drug delivery spikes. The proposed method comprises an estimation of the temporal evolution of the concentration of drug or other substances at an exit end (E11) of said tube (11) as a function of a size of said tube (11). Typically, the size of the tube (11) may be its length (L11) and said concentration may be estimated according to a transport equation.
