A system and method for assessing the performance of a system for delivering a
pharmaceutical agent to a portion of a body. A pair of electrodes are applied to
the portion of the body. A pharmaceutical agent is infused into the portion of
the body and the electrodes are energized by a signal generator, electrically stimulating
the portion of the body. The voltage and current delivered to the portion of the
body are measured using a data acquisition system thereby generating electrical
parameter data. An immune response, gene expression level or other biological response
to the pharmaceutical agent is measured and the electrical test data is correlated
with the biological response to assess the performance of the system.
