Fluid injection system comprising a motion transfer cable

A method of injecting a fluid stored within a pre-filled syringe into a patient, comprising:

• securing a pre-filled syringe to a syringe adapter of a syringe assembly of an injection system;
• wherein the injection system further comprises a motor assembly and a motion transfer cable, the motion transfer cable comprising an inner core, wherein the motion transfer cable mechanically couples the syringe assembly to the motor assembly;
• coupling a first terminal of the motion transfer cable to an actuator of the motor assembly, wherein at least one motor of the motor assembly is configured to selectively move the actuator;
• coupling the second terminal of the motion transfer cable to a plunger assembly of the syringe assembly, said plunger assembly being configured to selectively move within an interior of the pre-filled syringe in order to discharge fluid from an outlet of the pre-filled syringe;
• moving the actuator using the motor assembly in response to an injection instruction, wherein moving the actuator causes a corresponding linear motion in the first and second terminals and the inner core of the motion transfer cable extending between said first and second terminals;
• wherein movement of the second terminal toward the pre-filled syringe urges the plunger assembly into the interior of the pre-filled syringe and transfers a volume of fluid through the outlet of the pre-filled syringe;
• wherein fluid exiting the outlet of the pre-filled syringe passes through a needle assembly removably secured to a distal end of the pre-filled syringe and into a target anatomical location of a patient;
• and
• wherein the syringe assembly is configured to be grasped and manipulated by a clinician during an injection procedure.
