Abstract

A MEMS flow sensor was integrated with a PZT pump to form a closed-loop drug delivery system. Benefiting from the feedback of sensor information, the system could self-adjust the driving voltage of the PZT pump to accurately control the desired drug volume without pre-calibration. First, the structure and principle of the PZT pump were introduced briefly. Secondly, the MEMS flow sensor was presented. Thirdly, the fuzzy PID closed-loop control strategy was proposed to calculate and adjust the driving voltage in real-time. Finally, experiments with fuzzy PID closed-loop control method were carried out, and experiment results show that the drug delivery system can accurately delivery drug volume with the error smaller than 0.1μL when the desired volume is 100μL. It indicates that the pump dosing system has high reproducibility and accuracy.
