Towards accurate modeling and determination of dosing errors in multi-infusion

Description

Multi-infusion is essential for vulnerable patients who depend on the uninterrupted delivery of multiple drugs. The administration of the correct amounts of medication can be life critical. Unfortunately, infusion setups may not be as accurate as expected by clinical staff.
Multi-infusion is prone to dosing errors because of the complex interplay of different components that can result in delays or variations in delivery. The EMPIR Metrology for Drug Delivery project aims to improve dosing accuracy and to enable the traceable measurement of flow and pressure in existing drug delivery devices operating at very low flow rates. Its aim is to develop new calibration methods and to expand the existing metrological infrastructure. By investigating flow rates, liquid mixture properties and occlusion phenomena in multi-infusion systems, more insight can be provided to clinicians to make the right decisions in order to prevent inaccurate measurement results and thus to improve patient safety.
