  • Patent number: 11491318
    Abstract: A multi-use disposable set (MUDS) has at least one syringe having a proximal end and a distal end spaced apart from the proximal end along a longitudinal axis. The MUDS further has a plunger reciprocally movable within a syringe interior between the proximal end and the distal end. A manifold is in fluid communication with the distal end of the at least one syringe. At least one valve is in fluid communication with the syringe interior. The at least one valve is operable between a filling position for filling the syringe interior with fluid and a delivery position for delivering the fluid from the syringe interior. At least one connection port is in fluid communication with the manifold and the syringe interior when the at least one valve is in the delivery position. A multi-fluid delivery system having the medical connector and MUDS is also provided. Various features of the MUDS system are also described.

  • Patent number: 11090440
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20200155823
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20180169327
    Abstract: A system for delivering fluid to a patient including housing having at least one syringe port and a fluid control device adapted to interface with and actuate at least one syringe engaged therein. The fluid control device includes a processor configured to control a fluid delivery and to wirelessly communicate with one or more portable computers. The portable computer may be programmed or configured to receive one or more fluid delivery parameters from the fluid control device, a user interface, a patient records database, an imaging device, a second computer, a server, a wireless network, or a combination thereof and generate a display containing information pertaining to the fluid delivery parameter based at least partially on the received data. The fluid control device is further configured or programmed to execute one or more control options based at least partially on instructions received from the portable computer.

  • Publication number: 20130120398
    Abstract: The present specification teaches an input device and method for electronic apparatus. The input device can be based on one or more force sensitive input devices, such as force sensitive resistors. The electronic apparatus includes an output device such as a display. A processor is configured to receive input from the input device and to control the display or other output device. In certain implementations, the display is controlled to generate a first graphical object that is associated with an instruction. The processor is configured to generate a second graphical object in response to an input received from the force sensitive input device that corresponds with the instruction.
