Integrated catheter and powered injector system for use in performing radial angiography

An integrated catheter and powered injector system, comprising:

• a pump system housed in a self-contained unit, the pump system comprising:
• a motorized pump drive sub-system;
• a pump electrically connected to and operated by the pump drive sub-system, the pump having a input and an output;
• and
• a battery electrically connected to and powering the pump drive sub-system;
• a contrast media supply removably connected to the pump system by at least one fluid supply line and containing contrast media fluid;
• an extension line shaped to removably connect an arterial catheter to the pump system;
• and
• a control device operatively connected to the pump system to allow a user to send control signals to the pump system such that, in response to control signals received from the control device, the pump drive sub-system drives the pump to:
• draw the contrast media fluid from the contrast media supply into the input of the pump through the at least one fluid supply line;
• and
• inject the contrast media fluid from the output of the pump through the extension line and into the arterial catheter at a controlled flow rate and/or pressure.
