PATIENT LINE AIR DETECTION AND REUSE PREVENTION
An administration line for use with a fluid injector system includes a fluid verification module configured to be in operative communication with a housing of the fluid injector system such that the fluid injector system can determine a status of the administration line. The fluid verification module includes a body defining an inlet port, an outlet port, and a fluid channel extending from the inlet port to the outlet port; a first tubing section connected to the inlet port; and a second tubing section connected to the outlet port.
Method for controlling fluid accuracy and backflow compensation
A method for controlling fluid ratio accuracy during a dual flow injection with a powered injection system is described. The method includes predicting a first capacitance volume of a first syringe comprising a first medical fluid and a second capacitance volume of a second syringe comprising a second medical fluid with a first capacitance correction factor and a second capacitance correction factor, respectively, selecting a ratio of the first medical fluid and the second medical fluid to be administered to a patient in the dual flow injection, determining a relative acceleration ratio of a first piston of the first syringe and a second piston of a second syringe based on the predicted first capacitance volume and the predicted second capacitance volume, wherein the relative acceleration ratio is selected to maintain the selected ratio of the first medical fluid and the second medical fluid during the dual flow injection, and injecting a mixture of a first medical fluid and a second medical fluid having the selected ratio with the powered injection system.
SYSTEMS AND APPROACHES FOR DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE RECONSTITUTION
An approach for preparing a drug delivery device includes providing a prefilled delivery container and transferring a drug product contained in a drug container to the prefilled delivery container. The prefilled delivery container includes a container body containing a predetermined quantity of saline solution and a predetermined quantity of IV stabilizing solution (“IVSS”). The drug product is transferred to the prefilled delivery container via a delivery container adapter.
INJECTION SETUP KITS AND METHODS
An injection setup kit can include a manifold connector, a first packaging container, and a fluid line. The first packaging container can define a first closed interior volume that includes a patient interface connector having a patient interface inlet, a first patient interface outlet, and a valve configured to selectively permit fluid communication through the patient interface connector. The patient interface inlet can be fluidly connected to the manifold outlet. The fluid line can have a first fluid line end and a second fluid line end. The first fluid line end can be connected to the patient interface inlet within the first closed interior volume. The second fluid line end can extend outside of the first closed interior volume and be connected to a manifold outlet outside of the first closed interior volume.
