To evaluate the performance of the Panomat P-10 micro-volumetric infusion pump for its use in drug administration at minimal flow rates (microL x hr(-1); e.g., intrathecal application). ⋯ The tested Panomat P-10 micro-volumetric pump shows an acceptable flow accuracy as well as a low susceptibility to vertical displacement, and is therefore suitable for continuous drug administration at minimal flow rates. The technology used in this pump carries potential implications for a new generation of syringe pumps.
