Hand-control device for controlling operation of injection system

A hand-control device for a powered fluid injection system, including a controller the hand-control device comprising:

• a controller body sized to be held in a single hand of a user;
• a first input component at the controller body, wherein the first input component is configured to receive a first user input that identifies an injection system operational mode;
• a communication unit configured to, responsive to the first user input received by the first input component:
• generate an injection mode selection signal corresponding to the injection system operational mode;
• and
• convey the injection mode selection signal to the injection system;
• and
• a second input component at the controller body, wherein the second input component is configured to receive a second user input that identifies an action command for the injection system operational mode, said second input component including one or more sensors for detecting one of a current orientation of the hand-control device, a shift in an orientation of the hand-control device, a movement or a touching of the hand-control device,
• wherein the communication unit is further configured to, responsive to the second user input received by the second input component:
• generate an injection command signal corresponding to the action command, wherein the injection command signal is based at least in part on said current orientation, shift in the orientation, movement or touching or lack of movement or lack of touching of the hand-control device;
• and
• convey the injection command signal to the injection system.
