Abstract
A syringe pump provides a controlled metering of the medicament from a syringe by movement of the syringe plunger while also measuring flow from the syringe with a flow sensor. Simultaneous monitoring of flow command implicit in control of the syringe plunger and an actual flow provides additional safety and detection of irregularities in the delivery of the medicament.
