Medical fluid injector

A method for automatically and intelligently delivering a fluid into a targeted tissue, the method comprising:

• directing, by a processor, a pump to distribute the fluid into the targeted tissue at an initial velocity;
• receiving, by the processor, one or more signals from an intracorporeal sensing system, wherein the one or more signals correspond to one or more sensed feedback parameters at the targeted tissue, the one or more sensed feedback parameters comprising an intravascular pressure;
• determining, by the processor, whether the one or more sensed feedback parameters are within an acceptable range;
• if the one or more sensed feedback parameters are not within the acceptable range, determining, by the processor, an adjusted velocity;
• and
• directing, by the processor, the pump to distribute the fluid into the targeted tissue at the adjusted velocity.

A system for intelligently delivering a fluid to a targeted tissue, the system comprising:

• a pump configured to contain a volume of the fluid at a pressure;
• a processor;
• an intracorporeal sensing system configured to be placed in operable communication with the processor, the intracorporeal sensing system comprising at least one sensor and at least one control for the at least one sensor, the at least one control configured to:
• turn the at least one sensor on, turn the at least one sensor off, specify at least one feedback parameter, direct the at least one sensor to the targeted tissue, or any combination thereof;
• a display in operable communication with the processor;
• and
• a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium in communication with the processor, wherein the non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium contains one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• deactivate the at least one control for the at least one sensor in response to determining that the intracorporeal sensing system is in operable communication with the processor, such that the processor controls the at least one sensor;
• direct the pump to distribute the fluid to the targeted tissue at an initial velocity;
• receive one or more signals from the intracorporeal sensing system having one of the at least one sensor distributed at or near the targeted tissue, wherein the one or more signals correspond to one or more sensed feedback parameters at the targeted tissue, the one or more sensed feedback parameters comprising an intravascular pressure;
• receive one or more inputs, wherein the one or more inputs correspond to data that defines an acceptable range;
• determine whether the one or more sensed feedback parameters are within the acceptable range;
• direct the display to display data corresponding to the acceptable range in a user-readable format;
• direct the display to display the one or more sensed feedback parameters in the user-readable format;
• if the one or more sensed feedback parameters are not within the acceptable range, determine an adjusted velocity;
• and
• direct the pump to distribute the fluid to the targeted tissue at the adjusted velocity.
