Publication number: 20240131268Abstract: A fluid injector system for delivering a multi-phase fluid injection to a patient and methods of fluid delivery is disclosed. Methods of creating and using a multi-aspect fluid path impedance model of the injector system are used. Modeling and adjustment of factors that affect impedance and prevent or reduce backflow, reduce the likelihood of fluid flow rate spikes and provide more accurate flow rates and mixing ratios of fluids may be repeated or happen essentially continuously during an injection. The adjustments may be determined before the injection or determined and/or adjusted during the injection. The determination may include sensor feedback commonly used in injectors such as pressure and position feedback as well as other sensors. In all cases, the user can be notified of adjustments through on-screen notices and/or through the recordation of the injection data by a control device of the injector at the conclusion of the injection.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Arthur Uber, III, Chelsea Marsh, William Barone, Michael McDermott, Timothy Newing, Michael Spohn, Vince Delbrugge, Ralph Schriver, Kevin Cowan, David Griffiths

Patent number: 11883636Abstract: A fluid injector system has at least one reciprocally operable piston having a piston head, and a plunger engagement mechanism associated with the piston head. The plunger engagement mechanism has a cam sleeve disposed within the piston head and movable relative to the piston head, the cam sleeve having one or more tracks defining a cam surface. The plunger engagement mechanism further has an actuator operatively connected to the cam sleeve for moving the cam sleeve relative to the piston head, and one or more pins disposed within the cam sleeve. The one or more pins are movable within the one or more tracks with movement of the cam sleeve between a first or withdrawn position, wherein the one or more pins are radially withdrawn into the piston head and a second or extended position, wherein the one or more pins protrude radially outward relative to an outer surface of the piston head.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2019Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: BAYER HEALTHCARE LLCInventors: Shahab Taheri, Timothy Newing, Grant Karsten, Aiden Salm, Han Min Thu
