This paper describes an adjustable flow restrictor for use in gas-driven implantable infusion pumps, which is based on the resistance of a flow through a porous ceramic material. The flow inside the walls of a ceramic tube can be adjusted between 270 nl/min and 1260 nl/min by changing the flow path length in the ceramic over a distance of 14 mm. The long-term stability of the flow restrictor has been analyzed. A drift of -8% from the nominal value was observed, which lies within the required tolerance of ±10% after 30 days. The average time needed to change the flow rate is 40 s. In addition, the maximum adjustment time was 110 s, which also lies within the specification.
