Patent number: 4854324Abstract: An angiographic injector device for use in x-ray photography for delivering contrast media to a patient at controlled rates and pressures. A processor elicits injection parameters from an operator or a pre-programmed injection module, and on the basis of the injection parameters, calculates appropriate control signals for use in a closed-loop servo system to actuate the plunger of a syringe containing the contrast media. Injection parameters includes flow rate, volume, duration, pressure limit and rise-fall time of flow rate. The device also includes control circuits for inhibiting the injection device in response to a contrast media pressure limit, failure in the processor or injection control system, or upon reaching a predetermined volume of injected media. A mechanical stop member cooperates with the control circuit for blocking movement of the syringe plunger upon reaching the predetermined injected volume.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1988Date of Patent: August 8, 1989Assignee: Medrad, Inc.Inventors: Alan D. Hirschman, David M. Reilly, Ross H. Potter, John A. Stulen, Eric M. Toft, John G. Clark
