Abstract
The present invention is inherent to a shape memory alloy actuated fluidic subassembly () and to an equipment incorporating it as dispensing device, wherein actuation of the shape memory alloy wires (') causes a fluid-tight reservoir (″) to e compressed by a lid () so as to reduce its volume from a maximum volume Vo to a minimum volume V1, this reduction resulting in a pressure increase that causes the opening of an outlet flap (″) and the dispensing of a fluid through an outlet channel ().
