System and method for collecting injection information

A system for injection, comprising:

• a syringe body having proximal and distal ends, a syringe interior, and a syringe flange at the proximal end thereof;
• a stopper member disposed in the syringe interior;
• a plunger member coupled to the stopper member and configured to be manipulated to insert the stopper member distally in the syringe interior relative to the syringe body;
• a needle coupled to the syringe body at the distal end thereof;
• and
• a smart flange removably coupled to a syringe body, the smart flange comprising:
• a mounting sensor to measure mounting data corresponding to a presence and a type of the syringe body disposed in the smart flange;
• and
• a processor to analyze the mounting data to determine the presence and the type of the syringe body disposed in the smart flange,
• wherein the mounting sensor comprises:
• a contact member extending into a mounting space defined by the smart flange;
• a mounting elongate member, wherein the contact member is coupled to a middle portion of the mounting elongate member;
• a mounting magnetic member coupled to a distal end of the mounting elongate member;
• and
• a mounting magnetic sensor disposed adjacent the mounting magnetic member,
• wherein the contact member and the smart flange are configured such that disposing the syringe body in the mounting space of the smart flange moves the contact member relative to the smart flange,
• wherein the mounting elongate member and the contact member are configured such that moving the contact member relative to the smart flange elastically bends the mounting elongate member,
• wherein the mounting magnetic member and the mounting elongate member are configured such that elastically bending the mounting elongate member moves the mounting magnetic member relative to the mounting magnetic sensor, and
• wherein the mounting magnetic sensor detects movement of the mounting magnetic member and generates the mounting data based on the detected movement of the mounting magnetic member,
• wherein the mounting elongate member is elongated in a first direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the plunger member corresponding to a movement of the plunger member to inject a fluid contained within the syringe interior,
• wherein the contact member is coupled to a middle portion of the mounting elongate member relative to the first direction,
• wherein the mounting elongate member and the contact member are configured such that moving the contact member relative to the smart flange elastically bends the mounting elongate member in a second direction perpendicular to both the first direction and the longitudinal axis, and
• wherein the mounting magnetic member and the mounting elongate member are configured such that elastically bending the mounting elongate member moves the mounting magnetic member relative to the mounting magnetic sensor in a third direction anti-parallel to the second direction.
