A system and method for correcting a volume of fluid delivered by a fluid injector during an injection procedure is described. The method included determining and compensating for a volume factor associated with compliance of the fluid injector system and correcting for the volume by one of over-driving the distance that the drive member travels in a fluid reservoir, under-driving the distance that the drive member travels in the fluid reservoir, or lengthening or shortening a fluid delivery time.

A fluid injection system and a fluid verification system for confirming that a syringe, containing a fluid for injection, is fully filled with fluid and neither has free space (i.e., air) near the distal end thereof when the syringe is provided in an upright position nor contains air bubbles. Imaging processing techniques and systems are also provided to determine various injection parameters and to verify the type and certain properties of fluid that is present within a syringe.

The present invention relates to a method of delivering gas during ventilation of a patient using a system for breath delivery. The method of gas delivery includes real-time compensation of gas compression losses, in the current breath delivery phase, and gas leakage losses. The present invention further relates to a system for breath delivery. Still further, the present invention relates to a computer implemented method adapted of delivering gas during ventilation of a patient using a system for breath delivery.

A fluid injection system and a fluid verification system for determining the operating status of the fluid injection system, for example by confirming that a fluid reservoir, containing a fluid for injection, is fully filled with fluid and has free space (i.e., air) near the distal end thereof when the syringe is provided in an upright position nor contains air bubbles. Imaging processing techniques, methods, and systems are also provided to determine various injection parameters and to verify the type and certain properties of fluid that is present within the fluid reservoir.

A surgical system for controlling fluid pressure during a surgical procedure is provided. Example systems include an inflow pump coupled to a fluid source and defining an outlet port. An inflow cannula is coupled to the outlet port of the inflow pump and includes a barcode disposed thereon. An endoscope extends from a proximal end to a distal end and includes a shaft. A camera is coupled at the proximal end of the endoscope and provides visualization of a surgical site through the shaft and output a corresponding imagery signal. A pump control unit is coupled to the inflow pump and controls an outlet pressure of the inflow pump. A camera control unit is coupled to the camera and to the pump control unit and receives the imagery signal and decodes the barcode and conveys information indicative of a pressure loss across the inflow cannula to the pump control unit.

A method of infusing a fluid includes receiving values of one or more infusion parameters for an infusion of a fluid, Based on the received infusion parameter values, an occlusion pressure threshold for the infusion of the fluid is automatically calculated. During the infusion, a fluid pressure value is sensed. An indication is provided responsive to whether a value of the sensed fluid pressure is greater than the occlusion pressure threshold.

The present disclosure provides a system for using an in-line processing device with an apheresis device. The system includes a pressure system that includes a container configured to receive cells collected using the apheresis device and is configured to change a pressure of the container so as to direct the cells collected using the apheresis device to the in-line processing device.

A ventilation control unit (100), regulating a gas flow (102) within a ventilation system (105), includes a reception module (120), first and second calculation modules (130, 135) and an output module (140). The reception module has a signal interface (122) receiving inspiratory and expiratory flow signals (125, 127) at regular time intervals. The first calculation module calculates a leak flow (132) based on a difference between the current inspiratory gas flow and the current expiratory gas flow, with an external gas flow source (110) separated from a ventilation circuit of the ventilation system. The second calculation module calculates an external gas flow (136) after connecting the external gas flow source to the ventilation circuit based on the leak flow and the difference between the current inspiratory gas flow and the current expiratory gas flow. The output module outputs an output signal (142), based on the external gas flow.
