Abstract

A system for conducting a fluid injection procedure comprises: a loading device for filling containers with fluid; an information read/write device operatively associated with the loading device and configured to: read information related to the containers stored on information storage devices associated with the containers and write information related to an injection procedure and/or a patient to the information storage devices; and a fluid injector system configured to receive the containers after filling by the loading device and inject the contents of the containers of fluid into the patient. The loading device is configured to fill the containers with fluid based on the information related to the containers read from the information storage devices. The information read/write device is configured to write information to the information storage device. The fluid injector system is configured to read the information and use this information to program the fluid injector system.

Claims22

Dependent claims

A system for conducting a fluid injection procedure, the system comprising:

(a) a container loading system comprising a loading device for filling one or more containers with fluid;
(b) an information read/write device operatively associated with the loading device and configured to:
read information related to the one or more containers stored on one or more information storage devices associated with the one or more containers;
and write information related to at least one of an injection procedure and a patient to the one or more information storage devices;
and
(c) a fluid injector system operatively associated with the information read/write device and configured to receive the one or more containers after filling by the container loading system and inject contents of the one or more containers of the fluid into the patient;
wherein (i) the loading device is configured to fill the one or more containers with the fluid based on the information related to the one or more containers read from the one or more information storage devices by the information read/write device;
(ii) the information read/write device is configured to write the information related to at least one of the injection procedure and the patient to the one or more information storage devices as the loading device is filling the one or more containers with the fluid;
and (iii) the fluid injector system is configured to read the information related to the at least one of the injection procedure and the patient from the one or more information storage devices when the one or more containers are received by the fluid injector system and the information related to the at least one of the injection procedure and the patient is used to program the fluid injector system to conduct the injection procedure,
wherein the one or more containers of the fluid comprise at least two containers of the fluid coupled together via a structure, and the one or more information storage devices are provided on the structure, and
that removal of the at least two containers from the structure removes information stored on the one or more information storage devices, thereby allowing the structure to be reused.

A system for conducting a fluid injection procedure, the system comprising:

(a) a container loading system comprising a loading device for filling one or more containers with fluid, the one or more containers including one or more information storage devices associated therewith;
(b) a data entry system associated with the loading device and configured to allow entry of at least one of information related to the one or more containers;
information related to at least one of an injection procedure;
and information related to a patient;
(c) a controller operatively connected to the loading device and the data entry system and configured to receive at least one of the information related to the one or more containers, the information related to at least one of the injection procedure and the information related to the patient and associate at least one of the information related to the one or more containers, the information related to at least one of the injection procedure and the information related to the patient with the one or more information storage devices as the loading device is filling the one or more containers with fluid;
(d) a communication device operatively connected to the controller and configured to transmit at least one of the information related to the one or more containers, the information related to at least one of the injection procedure and the information related to the patient;
(e) a fluid injector system configured to:
receive at least one of the information related to the one or more containers, the information related to at least one of the injection procedure and the information related to the patient from the communication device and associate at least one of the information related to the one or more containers, the information related to at least one of the injection procedure and the information related to the patient with the one or more information storage devices when the one or more containers are mounted to the fluid injector system;
and
wherein the one or more containers comprise at least two containers of the fluid coupled together via a structure, and the one or more information storage devices are provided on the structure, and
that removal of the at least two containers from the structure removes information stored on the one or more information storage devices, thereby allowing the structure to be reused.
