Patent number: 11090440Abstract: A power injector system having a power injector for enabling delivery of fluid in an injection procedure to be performed on a patient may include one or more processors; a first user interface; and a second user interface. The first user interface and the second user interface may be configured to accept a plurality of user inputs associated with control of a plurality of operations of the power injector system and display information associated with the plurality of operations. One of the first user interface and the second user interface may be proximate to the power injector and the other may be remote from the power injector. The one or more processors may be programmed and/or configured to independently control the first user interface and the second user interface based on a first user input and a next user input received from the first user interface and/or the second user interface.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: BAYER HEALTHCARE LLCInventors: John Volkar, Corey Kemper, Someshwar Mukherjee, Samantha Parker, Carl Benson, James Hoon Yoo, Leona Mulcahy, Michael Brooks, Richard Sokolov, Benjamin James Cullen, Alison Ruth Von Moger

Publication number: 20200155823Abstract: A medical connector for providing a sterile connection between a multi-use portion and a single-use portion of a fluid delivery system is provided. The medical connector includes a fluid inlet port configured for removable engagement with a connection port of a multi-use disposable set (MUDS) to establish a fluid connection therewith and a waste outlet port configured for removable engagement with a waste inlet port of the MUDS to establish a fluid connection therewith. A patient fluid line is connected, at a first end, to the fluid inlet port and connected, at a second end, to the waste outlet port. Fluid flow through the patient fluid line is unidirectional from the first end to the second end. The patient fluid line is configured for being disconnected from the waste outlet port for delivering fluid to a patient. A multi-fluid delivery system having the medical connector and MUDS is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2020Publication date: May 21, 2020Inventors: RICHARD SOKOLOV, ALISON RUTH VON MOGER, BENJAMIN JAMES CULLEN, ERNESTO HUESO MONIS, KAMMAN LAW, MARK SILVIO PROFACA, JOHN A.
