Abstract
Systems and methods for continuous injection of fluid. In some examples these apparatuses may include a manifold, a pair of reciprocating pistons, and an actuation control that may apply both suction (aspiration) and injection of fluid as part of the same actuation.
Claims20
A system for injecting a fluid, the system comprising:
- a manifold, wherein the manifold comprises a selection channel and a function selection piston in the selection channel that is configured to move within the selection channel;
- a plurality of check valves in the manifold;
- a first piston chamber fluidically connected to the selection channel and in fluid communication with a reservoir port;
- a second piston chamber fluidically connected to the selection channel in fluid communication with the reservoir port;
- a delivery port fluidically connected to the selection channel;
- and
- an actuation control configured to drive the function selection piston within the selection channel so that, at a start of an actuation of the actuation control, the function selection piston causes aspiration into the selection channel from the delivery port, further wherein continuing the actuation of the actuation control moves the function selection piston so that the first piston chamber and the second piston chamber are in fluid communication with the delivery port, so that fluid is pumped out of the delivery port from the first piston chamber and the second piston chamber.

A method for delivering a liquid pharmaceutical to a patient, the method comprising:
- inserting a needle tip into a treatment area;
- negatively displacing, with a pump, a liquid pharmaceutical from the needle tip to aspirate fluid from the patient;
- and
- positively displacing, with the pump, the liquid pharmaceutical to inject the liquid pharmaceutical to the patient.
