ABSTRACT:
Known implanted medication infusion systems have a medication container and a pump for pumping medication from the medication container into the patient via a catheter connected to the output of the pump. A flushing port is arranged downstream of the pump and upstream of the catheter. In a method for cleaning the catheter, a cleaning fluid is flushed through the flushing port and into the catheter. The orifice of the catheter is, during cleaning, placed in communication with the exterior of patient, and is isolated from the interior of the patient in order to convey the cleaning fluid out of the patient.
