Summary
Since there is some concern about the use of the Cardiff infusion pump in the automatic mode, experiments were devised to simulate some possible problems. The possibility of misleading information allowing overstimulation to occur was demonstrated. Even when the input signal was accurate there could, at least theoretically, be excessive stimulation. Some suggestions about future design and ways of correcting the problems are discussed.
