Intelligent pharmaceutical delivery system with non-concentric pumping mechanism to reduce flow anomaly and method of using

The present invention relates to titration and delivery of anesthetic and sedative medications to a subject. Further, the present invention relates to a device and methods for titrating and delivering the medications in a semi-automated or fully automated manner and which can be monitored and controlled remotely. Even still further, the present invention relates to the device that can perform the titration and the delivery of the medications in a manner that minimalizes occlusion and prevents back flow of the medications. More particularly, the present invention relates to the device for the titration and the delivery of the medications using a non-concentric pumping mechanism that gradually or progressively increases and decreases occlusion in a medication delivery line within the pumping mechanism to minimize and/or prevent sudden formation and release of the occlusion in order to provide more steady and continuous flow of the medications through the device to the subject.
