No. SmartDose® maintains a positive pressure for a minimum of 12 hours, after end of the infusion.The remaining liquid between filter and patient being trapped, prevents any risk of backflow. This gives considerable time freedom for a qualified person to disconnect the set from the patient and to clean infusion port.
