Abstract
Disclosed is a flow detector () for releasable coupling with a flow channel () in a channel coupling area and detecting a flow of liquid drug in the flow channel (), the flow detector including: an upstream thermoelectric element () and a downstream thermoelectric element (), wherein the upstream thermoelectric element () and the downstream thermoelectric element () are arranged spaced apart from each other and movable independent from each other; an upstream biasing element () and a downstream biasing element (), wherein the upstream biasing element () acts on the upstream thermoelectric element (), thereby biasing the upstream thermoelectric element () towards the channel coupling area, and the downstream biasing element () acts on the downstream thermoelectric element (), thereby biasing the downstream thermoelectric element () towards the channel coupling area independently from the upstream biasing element ().
