The controller can configure the system display to show the air pressure measured by the pressure sensor.

An implantable medical device (IMD) including a housing defining a propellant chamber, a drug reservoir located within the propellant chamber of the housing configured to receive a therapeutic fluid, a propellant gas within the propellant chamber; and a volume measurement system that includes a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the propellant gas within in the propellant chamber and a pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure of the propellant gas within the propellant chamber. The volume measurement system is configured to measure the pressure and the temperature of the propellant gas to provide current volume information of the therapeutic fluid in the drug reservoir.

Provided is an infusion bag pressing device capable of pressing an infusion bag that accommodates an infusion solution, the infusion bag pressing device including: an air storage space configured to accommodate air; and a pressing bag configured to press the infusion bag by being expanded by the air flowing into the air storage space, in which the air storage space includes one or more unit space portions spatially separated by an interval maintaining member, and in which the interval maintaining member is disposed in the air storage space, one end of the interval maintaining member is coupled to an inner surface of one end of the pressing bag, and the other end of the interval maintaining member is coupled to an inner surface of the other end of the pressing bag, such that the pressing bag is inhibited from being excessively expanded.

A device, a system and a method for automatic pressure control are disclosed. The pressure control device includes one or more processors and a valve with a first port, a second port, and a third port, with the first port connected to an air pump, the second port connected to a non-invasive blood pressure (“NIBP”) cuff worn by a patient, and the third port connected to a pressure-providing element pressurizing an IV fluid container. The one or more processors control the valve to adjust airflow between the air pump and the NIBP cuff, and also to adjust airflow between the air pump and the pressure-providing element pressurizing the fluid container. By controlling the valve and the connected air pump, the system automates the processes of regulating fluid flow out of the container and non-invasively measuring the patient's blood pressure.
