摘要: This paper describes an actively-controlled architecture for drug delivery systems that offers high performance and volume efficiency through the use of micromachined components. The system uses a controlled valve to regulate dosing by throttling flow from mechanically pressurized reservoir, thereby eliminating need pump. To this end, is fabricated glass wafer silicon-on-insulator sensor integration. draws maximum power 1.68 µW (averaged over time); with existing packaging scheme, it has 2.475 cm3. reservoirs are assembled compressing polyethylene terephthalate polymer balloons metal springs. springs Elgiloy® using photochemical etching. pressurize contents 37 mL chambers up 15 kPa. integrated batteries control circuit board within 113 cm3 casing. been evaluated in different modes mimic clinical applications. Bolus deliveries 1.5 have regulated as well continuous flows 0.15 mL/day accuracies 3.22%. results suggest device can be used implant intrathecal delivery.
