Abstract: A fluid injection system is disclosed The system is adapted to employ first and second injectors which may sequentially, or simultaneously, inject first and second fluids into a patient via a catheter. The first and second injectors may be power actuated. The actuation of the injectors may be controlled via a controller of the system. The user may be provided with an operator interface module to enable the control of the system to be affected during operation. A separate waste line may be provided to drain the system effectively and efficiently. A pressure sensor may be provided proximate the catheter to reduce pressure signal wave dampening and fluid waste.

Abstract: A pressure activated valve for a three-way connection between a catheter, an injector and a pressure transducer is disclosed. The valve includes a body that has an inlet for connection to an injector, an outlet for connection to a catheter and a secondary connection for connection to a pressure transducer. The body also includes a seal seat disposed between the secondary connection in both the inlet and the outlet. The body is flexibly connected to a plug seal. The plug seal is disposed between the seal seat in both the inlet and the outlet. The plug seal is movable between an open position spaced apart from the seal seat and biased towards the inlet and the outlet and a closed position against the seal seat thereby isolating the secondary connection from both the inlet and the outlet.

Abstract: A hemostasis valve which has a varying diameter. The hemostasis valve is actuated by a mechanism which provides mechanical advantage. Actuation of the hemostatis valve provides selective incremental sizing such that the valve will fit a variety of different intravascular devices.
