Abstract: The fluid management system according to the invention is adapted to automatically supply fluid for injection into a patient. The fluid management system comprises a fluid management device, a fluid transfer system and a fluid injector. The fluid management device serves to store and administrate multi dose containers. The fluid transfer system connects the outlet of the containers stored within the fluid management device to the injector and the injector withdraws the fluid via fluid transfer system from the containers and injects the fluid to an administration device at the patient.

Abstract: A multi-language electronic menu on a computing device receives from a user a selection of a language to be employed in displaying menu items to the user. Thereafter, the device electronically displays the menu to the user in the selected language, and allows the user to navigate amongst the menu items of the menu on the device. In doing so, the device receives selections of one or more of the items of the menu to be ordered or requested for such user, all in the selected language. The device then receives a selection from the user that the user has finished selecting menu items, and a selection that an order or request comprising a number of selected items for the users is complete, and the device sends the order or request from the device for fulfillment in a format independent of any particular language.
