Abstract
A method for performing a continuous infusion process includes delivering a first fluid through a first delivery line at a first flow rate using a first infusion device in a first phase, and delivering a second fluid through a second delivery line at a second flow rate using a second infusion device in a second phase following the first phase. A relay device connected to said first and second delivery lines configured to discharge first or second fluid to an outlet delivery line connected to the relay device, the outlet delivery line having a predefined delivery volume. Subsequent to the delivery of the first fluid in the first phase, the second infusion device in an intermediate phase is operated for a predetermined delivery time to deliver the second fluid at the first flow rate, the predetermined delivery time determined taking the predefined delivery volume into account.
