ABSTRACT: The paper presents the construction of an automatic
applicator of active substance that removes causes of the disturbances in the
fluid flow in a system that is under the control. In a particular case, it can
be applied to the removal of disturbances in the blood flow in vessels caused
by a thrombus formation (e.g. post-operative or due to dialysis treatment). The
presented applicator automatically releases the active substance into the
system while detecting in real time the abnormal fluid flow. It allows mixing
the active substance (e.g. anticoagulant drug) with the controlled medium
outside the substance container (e.g. serum) while offering the possibility
of the repeated usage.
