Abstract
A waste-reducing pumping system and method for delivering a liquid to a patient according to a predetermined therapy protocol is characterized by a stored flush mode routine executable by a processor after an end-of-therapy stoppage of a pumping mechanism, whereby the pumping mechanism is operated to deliver residual liquid remaining in downstream tubing of an administration set to the patient to prevent the residual liquid from being wasted or manually administered at an unsafe rate.
