Abstract
The present invention comprises a medication delivery system for administering an infusion therapy using a medication delivery pump and related fluid container. Medications in a flexible bag of the container are expelled from the bag by the pump into an administration set and delivered to an infusion site. The administration set limits the rate at which a spring compresses the bag. The system provides improved infusion therapy administration which is particularly advantageous for reducing errors, infections and other complications associated with manual infusion techniques.
