The micropump components are an electrochemical bellows actuator, refillable drug reservoir, wireless inductive powering components, catheter, and check valve. By utilizing fabrication techniques from MEMS, or microelectromechanical systems, the actuation components are scalable to small animal models (including mice). The actuation is achieved through electrolysis, in which energy from the conversion of water to hydrogen and oxygen gases is harnessed to actively pump drug from the reservoir. This process generates low heat, requires low power consumption, and enables repeated dosing. The refillable drug reservoir can be sized to accommodate dosing needs for a specific animal model and application, and allows drug to be store adjacent to the target site in the body. A catheter directs the drug to the site. A check valve ensures accurate dosing without contamination or dilution of the drug in the reservoir. By using a wireless inductive powering scheme, the micropump operates without a battery and allows tetherless, unrestricted movement of the animal during the dosing. This is important, as stress from restraint and handling can significantly affect animal behavior and physiology. In addition, an integrated electrochemically-based dose tracking system is capable of real-time tracking and confirmation of delivery. With dose tracking, the micropump has closed-loop feedback for monitoring pump performance that can improve device reliability and increase patient safety.
