Abstract: An injection system includes an injector head that is configured to control delivery of a designated fluid to a patient. The injector head includes a syringe interface along an active side of the injector head. The syringe interface has a receiving cavity that is configured to receive a syringe barrel. A side cover has a syringe opening therethrough. The side cover is sized and shaped to cover at least a portion of the active side of the injector head such that the receiving cavity and the syringe opening align with each other to form a port that receives the syringe barrel.

Abstract: A syringe barrel includes a barrel body having a passage extending along a longitudinal axis between a tip opening and a load opening. The passage is configured to permit a plunger to advance therethrough along the longitudinal axis for driving a liquid through the tip opening. The barrel body includes a base portion that is configured to operably engage an injection system. The base portion has a body surface that is shaped to form a light-propagating space alongside the body surface. The light-propagating space extends to reflective ramps of the body surface. The reflective ramps have predetermined sizes and positions to reflect light signals radially away from the barrel body.

Abstract: An isolating connector between a first work piece and a second work piece each defining a hole therein includes first and second spring members that capture the first work piece between flanges of the spring members and establish a column between the second work piece and a head of a bolt extending through the first and second spring members and anchored in the second work piece.
