Description
The NP-01 is a nutrition pump, made in the microproduction workshop of the ICE research institute in Bucharest, where it was designed [1].
Together with the Ministry of Health, ICE drew up a national medical equipment programme; the prototypes of its medical electronics laboratory went into production at IEIA Cluj-Napoca (19 types), IEMI (3), IEI (2) and in ICE’s microproduction workshop (19) [1]. As demand grew, production of some of them was taken over by IEI [1].
Its prospectus describes a peristaltic pump for tube feeding of patients with disorders of the upper digestive tract: three rollers on a rotor driven by a stepping motor squeeze the tube, and the flow is set by the motor speed [2].
