Abstract
A device for automatically administering predetermined amounts of medication from a syringe through a conduit to a patient is described. This device includes an automatic flushing mechanism which flushes the medication from the conduit after the completion of the medication dosage using a flush syringe containing a flush solution. A force derived from a spring is used to expel the medication and the flush solution from their respective syringes. Thus, the patient is insured a full dosage of prescribed medication without the need of continuous attention by hospital staff.
