Benefits of technology

[0010]According to yet a further aspect of the invention there is provided an injector system that provides a utility tray that may be connected to the injector head. The tray may be used to catch drips from a manifold, and may also be used to collect disposable components (including connectors or covers).

Problems solved by technology

Such manual systems typically do not accommodate any safety features such as the restriction or prevention of injections outside of predetermined injection parameters (such as rate or pressure), and generally do not include active sensors or alarms to detect air bubbles or other hazards.

Abstract

One implementation provides a method to provide injection procedure information in an injection system. In this implementation, the method includes displaying a plurality of different injection procedure options in a user interface of said system, wherein said plurality of different injection procedure options including a cardiac procedure option and a non-cardiac procedure option. The method further includes receiving a user selection of an injection procedure from said displayed plurality of different injection procedure options, processing a default set of injection parameters based upon said selected injection procedure, and displaying said default set of injection parameters within the user interface of the system prior to an injection.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This application relates generally to an improved injector system for injecting medical fluids, such as radiographic contrast fluids, particularly for angiography.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Angiography is a procedure used in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular conditions including abnormalities or restrictions in blood vessels, the network of passageways through which blood travels in a human or animal body. During angiography, a radiographic contrast material is injected through a catheter into a vein or artery, which then passes to vascular structures in fluid communication with the vein or artery. When X-rays are passed through the region of the body into which the contrast material is injected, they are absorbed by the contrast material, providing radiographic images of the desired vascular structure(s). The images can be recorded on film or video tape and / or displayed on a fluoroscope monitor. The images can be used for many purposes,...
