Microflow, nanoflow, drug delivery, flow sensors, traceability, infusion pumps, pain control pumps, infusion pump analysers, multi infusion systems.
The overall aim of this project is to improve dosing accuracy and to enable the traceable measurement of volume, flow and pressure in existing drug delivery devices and in-line sensors operating at very low flow rates. This will be achieved through the development of new calibration methods and by expanding the existing metrological infrastructure. This project will also investigate fast changing flow rates, which are step changes between two flow rates within a second, the physical properties of mixtures of liquids and occlusion phenomena in multi-infusion systems in order to prevent inaccurate measurement results and thus to improve patient safety. This is a joint research project carried out in the framework of the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR) (see:http://www.euramet.org/research-innovation/empir/). The EMPIR initiative is co-funded by the European Unions's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the participating states. METAS is one of the project partners in the project.
The overall objective of this project is to enable traceable measurements of the volume, flow rate and pressure of existing drug delivery devices (and other medical devices, like infusion pump analysers and organ-on-a-chip) and in-line sensors that work at a flow rate lower than 100 nL/min. This project will also investigate fast changing flow rates, liquid mixing behaviour and occlusion phenomena in multi-infusion systems in order to improve the dosing accuracy in each infusion line.
The specific objectives of the project are:
