A method for delivering residual liquid in an enteral or other infusion device

摘要

The present invention relates to a waste-reducing pumping system and method, comprising a waste-reducing pumping system and method for delivering liquid to a patient in accordance with a predetermined treatment protocol, wherein the pumping device is stored in a stored storage executable executable by a processor after discontinuation of end-of-treatment treatment of the pumping device. Features a flush mode routine whereby the pumping mechanism is operative to deliver residual liquid to the patient in tubing downstream of the dosing set to prevent the residual liquid from being discarded or manually administered at an unsafe rate.
