Abstract
A reader system for reading information on at least one identification tag associated with a syringe connected to a fluid injector has a detector and a background screen spaced apart from the detector such that at least one of the at least one identification tags is positioned in an optical path between the detector and the background screen when the syringe is connected to the fluid injector. The reader system further has an illumination system configured for illuminating at least a portion of the background screen. The detector is configured for detecting and decoding the at least one identification tag. Methods for reading information on at least one identification tag associated with a syringe are also described.
Claims19
A system for identifying at least one parameter on at least one of a plurality of identification tags, the system comprising:
- a syringe comprising the plurality of identification tags at a proximal end of the syringe;
- and
- a fluid injector comprising a reader system for reading information on the at least one of the plurality of identification tags, wherein the reader system comprises:
- a detector;
- a background screen spaced apart from the detector;
- and
- an illumination system for illuminating at least a portion of the background screen,
- wherein the detector is configured for reading the information from the at least one of the plurality of identification tags against an illuminated backdrop defined by the at least the portion of the background screen illuminated by the illumination system;
- and
- wherein the at least one of the plurality of identification tags is inserted within an optical path between the detector and the background screen of the reader system when the syringe is engaged with the fluid injector.
A system for identifying at least one parameter on at least one of a plurality of identification tags, the system comprising:
- a syringe comprising the plurality of identification tags in the form of a plurality of encrypted QR-codes laser-etched into a thickness of a transparent sidewall of the syringe;
- and
- a fluid injector comprising a reader system for reading information on the at least one of the plurality of identification tags, wherein the reader system comprises:
- a detector;
- and
- a background screen spaced apart from the detector,
- wherein the detector is configured for reading the information from the at least one of the plurality of identification tags against the background screen.
