## Abstract

A device for controlling delivery of a fluid to a patient is disclosed having an injector device having a cylindrical body and a plunger having a head having a valve, the valve capable of opening and closing, the plunger for insertion into the cylindrical body of the injector device. A device for controlling delivery of a fluid to a patient is also disclosed having an inlet end, an outlet end, a side having a portion of elastic material, the elastic material capable of expanding or contracting with the device for insertion between an injector device and a manifold or an injector device and a catheter.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for controlling delivery of a fluid to a patient comprising:
an injector device having a cylindrical body having a front end having an opening through which fluid may flow into or out of the cylindrical body and a back end having an opening, and a connector device at the front end; and
a plunger having a head having an opening and the plunger further having a valve cap, the valve cap capable of opening and closing the opening in the head, the plunger for insertion into the cylindrical body of the injector device, the plunger further having a partial hollow interior having a back end, a spring having a first spring end and a second spring end, the first spring end connected to the back end of the partial hollow interior and the second end connected to the valve cap adjacent to the opening in the head, the partial hollow interior for capturing fluid when the spring moves the valve cap away from the opening in the head.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1 further comprising a manifold device having a body having a first port having a first stopcock, a second port having a second stopcock, a third port having a third stopcock, an inlet end, and an outlet end, the connector device connected to the inlet end of the manifold device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2 wherein the first port is connected to a connector, a tubing, and a container containing a fluid that may flow into the injector device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1 wherein the valve cap may move a distance into the partial hollow interior to allow fluid to flow and be captured within the space when the spring is compressed.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1 wherein any fluid captured within the partial hollow interior may flow out through the opening in the front end.
