Abstract
The present invention relates to apparatus and method for the controlled delivery of fluid. The apparatus comprises chemical reactants which combine to generate gas and create pressure to drive a fluid from a container. The reactants and the environment in which the reaction occurs are controlled, thereby causing the fluid to be delivered from the device at a predetermined flow rate.
