Fluid injector and patient set therefor

A syringe manifold for a fluid injector assembly, the syringe manifold comprising:

• an upper body member comprising at least one spike member for piercing a septum of at least one fluid container;
• a middle body member defining an upper cavity and a lower cavity, wherein the upper body member is connected with the upper cavity of the middle body member, the middle body member further comprising:
• at least one fluid path in an upper surface of the middle body member;
• at least one first port defined by a dividing plate of the middle body member;
• and
• at least one second port defined by the at least one fluid path;
• and
• a lower body member connected with the lower cavity of the middle body member, the lower body member comprising:
• at least one connector for connecting the lower body member to a syringe assembly;
• at least one second fluid path;
• and
• an outlet for connecting the syringe manifold to at least one fluid delivery device,
• wherein the at least one first port defined by the dividing plate of the middle body member establishes fluid communication between the at least one spike member and the at least one connector, and wherein the at least one second fluid path defined in the lower body member, the at least one first port defined by the dividing plate of the middle body member, the at least one fluid path defined in the upper surface of the middle body member, and the at least one second port defined in the middle body member establish fluid communication between the at least one connector and the outlet of the lower body member.
