Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An implantable pump system employing a flow regulator isolates the regulator sensing chamber from the path of drug flow. This is accomplished by establishing either an independent sensing chamber in the regulator or coupling it to the propellant chamber of the pump. Additionally a, downstream restrictor may be used to provide an additional pressure drop between the regulator and the outlet catheter.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 24, 1990 and granted November 25, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 24, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 24, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
