Elastomeric infusion pump system (An assembly of devices that provides continuous and/or intermittent percutaneous infusion of a prescribed medicated solution to a patient through forces from elastic material. It typically consists of an elastomeric chamber (various sizes predetermine the flow and volume) that is filled with the solution using a dedicated filling device and/or syringe to create a pressure, tubing, particulate/air-eliminating filter, a flow restrictor, and a connector at the distal end for connection to the patient's access device. It may be used for general infusion, antibiotic delivery, chemotherapy, or pain management in either a healthcare facility or in the home. This is a single-use device.)
