A portable infusion pump, programmable with 16 rates. 1978

J Bojsen, and K Kølendorf, and F Haslev, and K Jørgensen

An external, portable, programmable infusion pump has been developed for long-term therapeutic intravenous infusion of drugs. The impulse-controlled system consists of a 250 g CMOS-electronic unit, and an electromechanical infuser (250 g) containing a 10-ml disposable syringe. The infusion rate pattern is manually preprogrammed from 24 to 384 microliter/0.5 h. The coefficient of variation of the volume infused is less than 2% per. 0.5 h. The system has been tested by continuous administration of insulin in diabetics during 4 consecutive days, and can operate for 6-7 days with a 1 Ah, 5.4 V battery. The mean capillary blood glucose concentration could be maintained at levels close to normal (i.e. 7.0 mmol/1 +/- 2.3 (SD)) during the treatment period.

D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
