The delivery of continuous iv bleomycin and 5-fluorouracil to nine ambulatory cancer patients was studied using a novel disposable portable infusion pump, the Ar/Med Infusor. Although the chemotherapy was satisfactorily delivered, there were significant mechanical problems, including variable flow rates and substantial drug cartridge failure. Most therapy courses were finished within 10% of the projected termination time. Serious venous complications did not occur. While further exploration of various devices for outpatient continuous iv therapy is recommended, we believe that technical improvements are needed for the Ar/Med Infusor.
