Publication number: 20120259237Abstract: An injection system for transferring a volume of fluid from a syringe into a patient comprises a syringe assembly having a syringe adapter configured to securely receive a pre-filled syringe and a plunger assembly configured to be selectively moved relative to the syringe adapter. The injection system further comprises a fluid delivery module comprising at least one motor to move an actuator in at least one direction. In some embodiments, the injection system additionally comprises a motion transfer cable. In one embodiment, one end of the motion transfer cable is mechanically coupled to the actuator of the fluid delivery module, and the other end is mechanically coupled to the plunger assembly of the syringe assembly. In some embodiments, movement of the actuator by the motor is transferred through the motion transfer cable to the plunger assembly, resulting in the plunger assembly moving a desired distance relative to the pre-filled syringe.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2012Publication date: October 11, 2012Applicant: CARTICEPT MEDICAL, INC.Inventor: Michael Axelrod

Patent number: 7504176Abstract: A flexible tongue having guide tabs is used in a battery capturing mechanism to engage alignment grooves formed in a battery cartridge. The guide tabs form hooks so that when the battery has been inserted, thereby causing the tongues to deflect at a flexible hinge as the battery slides into the capturing mechanism, the hooks retain the battery. Preferably tapered guide rails are aligned with the tabs and are formed on a rigid floor to which the tongue's flexible hinge attaches, thereby guiding a connector of the battery into electrical engagement with a corresponding connector that is part of the device into which the battery capturing mechanism is used. To remove the battery, the tongue may be depressed and battery grips grasped to retrieve the battery from the mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2004Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Arris International, Inc.Inventor: Michael Axelrod
