ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for delivery of IV fluid to an ambulatory patient are disclosed. The system includes a holder (e.g., a pouch, strap or web-sling) that secures the a source of infusion fluid to a patient's body. Alternatively, the holder can be in the form of a back pack or a fanny pack. The invention further includes a means for applying pressure to the IV fluid to induce infusion. For example, a pressure gradient can be supplied by an infuser bag or a mechanical pressure infuser that is present within the holder or otherwise coupled to an IV fluid container to exert compressive force thereon. The infuser bag can be inflated (e.g., by hand) and may include a valve to prevent over inflation.
