iPRECIO™ MICRO INFUSION PUMP
Innovative Drug Infusion Technology for Laboratory Animals
Implantable
The pump can be completely implanted in small laboratory animals subcutaneously. Thus, the animal moves freely without any restrain (i.e. tethering) during drug infusion. Additionally, infection risk is reduced, and the animal likely is less stressed that it would be in a tethered infusion model.
-
Animal Moves Freely & Less stressed - Reduced infection risk
- No Maintenance for the Tethering (Tangled, Kinked)
- Realized Drug Infusion with Behavior Monitoring
- Combined with Drug Infusion and Telemetry Bio-Signal Measurement
Refillable
You can replenish any medical fluid in the pump via percutaneous access to the pump refill septum and reservoir after implantation of the pump. So, long-term drug infusion can continue until the installed battery life has run out. The reservoir is elastic and configured in such a geometry as to allow gentle palpation to confirm an approximate level of fluid in the reservoir.
Benefit
- Realized low flow rate administration in large doses. (Up to 5ml by 0.9 ml reservoir)
- Easy to replenishment the drug into the reservoir repeatedly
- Flushing the entire line during the recovery period by saline and then replaced it to the drug.
- It is possible to exchange the drug in the reservoir, different compound or different concentration.
- Confirm an approximate level of fluid in the reservoir by palpation
Long battery Life
The battery life is up to 6 months at a flow rate of 1.0µL/hr continuously.
You can confirm the estimated battery life on the PC Screen when you set the infusion protocol by iPRECIO™ Management Software.
Precision
The technology driving the infusion is a patented "Rotary Finger" method. This method is a unique form of peristalsis.
The precise "micro-stick" pushes a rubber tube in the pump in a uniform and sequential manner.
The accuracy of iPRECIO™ is +/-5%.
