  • Publication number: 20220168498
    Abstract: A system for measurement automation of a fluid injected into a patient includes a reservoir, a fluid injection apparatus, and a measurement automation apparatus. The fluid injection apparatus includes a delivery conduit, an injector for injecting the fluid into the patient, a diverter assembly disposed between the delivery conduit and the injector, and a connector between the diverter assembly and delivery conduit. The diverter assembly is configured to divert at least a portion of the fluid away from an injection fluid path between the injector and the delivery conduit to the reservoir. The measurement automation apparatus includes an injector sensor module, a reservoir sensor module, a processer configured to receive the data from the sensor modules, and a display.

  • Publication number: 20210030954
    Abstract: A system allows for collection and re-use of a fluid medium derived from diverting at least some of the fluid medium of an injection. The system comprises a sterile container, an injector, a delivery catheter, a flow diverter assembly and a diversion reservoir assembly. The delivery catheter is in communication with a selected site within a patient's body. The flow diverter assembly is disposed in a flow path between the injector and the delivery catheter and is configured to divert at least a portion of a medium of the injection from the flow path. The diversion reservoir assembly has a reservoir chamber fluidly coupled to the flow diverter assembly. The reservoir chamber is configured to receive the diverted portion of the fluid medium to allow re-use by the medium injector of the diverted portion.

  • Publication number: 20160106916
    Abstract: A system and method for collection and re-use of a fluid medium derived from the diversion of at least some of an injection of the medium to a selected site within a patient's body are described. The system includes a sterile medium container, a flow diverter assembly disposed in a fluid medium flow path between an injection syringe and a medium delivery catheter, and a diversion reservoir having a reservoir chamber for receiving the diverted portion of the fluid medium from the flow diverter assembly and a fluid coupling to the sterile medium container. The flow diverter assembly is configured to divert at least a portion of a fluid medium injection from the medium flow path between the syringe and the delivery catheter during injection. The diversion reservoir is configured so as to preferentially allow re-use of the diverted medium in the reservoir chamber prior to allowing use of the medium in the sterile medium container.
