Abstract

Needle clogging induces several issues during the filling step of injectable drugs, which makes essential to avoiding it to ensure a favorable outcome for the process. The suck-back function, present in peristaltic pumps, is often used empirically to that end. This study aims at describing and understanding the fluid behavior after suck-back application, which provides some quantitative specifications to prevent needle clogging.
