Description
|
Infu-Disk™
represents a family of totally
autonomous, single-use, battery-operated
fluid delivery pumps; no additional
components are required. To operate
simply fill the reservoir and press the
start button. Available sterilized.
Delivery capability: 1 to 20 mL
reservoirs, operating at any
(factory-set) flow rate from 0.01 to 5
mL/hr. Can be made available as a
"semi" disposable product,
i.e. discard the disposable fluid
reservoir, re-use the pump module. The reservoir
has a toroidal shape; the pumping module
is at the center. Dimensions: 5 cm
diameter; 1.6 cm high. Weight: 20 grams.

Advantages
|
Simple, cost-effective pump, delivering fluid
continuously (in contrast to the
pulsatile flow of electrochemical pumps)
and accurately. Easy to install and
operate.
|
|
Applications
|
Excellent alternative to conventional
pumps whenever size, weight,
ease of operation, and uniform
delivery are issues and when
investment, traceability,
re-sterilization become
important operating cost
contributors. Applications
include:
- Disposable drug delivery, parenteral, topical.
- Continuous delivery of reactants, nutrients, stabilizers,
etc., in chemical, biochemical processes.
- Long term delivery of pesticides, insecticides, etc.
- Emission of fragrances, fresheners, etc.
