US Patent:
6643537, Nov 4, 2003
Filed:
Nov 17, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/715330
Inventors:
Douglas M. Zatezalo - Allison Park PA
Jeffrey John Thompson - Allison Park PA
Steven C. Rygg - Irwin PA
Scott R. Griffith - Delmont PA
John Gardner - Wexford PA
Ronald J. Barbati - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Medrad, Inc. - Indianola PA
International Classification:
A61B 600
US Classification:
600432, 600431, 600458, 6048901, 6048921, 604 19
Abstract:
A fluid injection arrangement, particularly involving a systematic fluid injection programming capability, in the context of patient imaging systems, in which phases of contrast medium infection and flushing medium injection can be freely and selectably ordered so as to make available to the operator and patient a vast array of possible protocols than has hitherto been essentially unattainable. Also contemplated is the use of a âholdâ phase, involving an indefinite pause between phases of a protocol, in connection with such imaging systems. Further contemplated is the use of a âpauseâ phase in which a pause of fixed duration is pre-programmed into the protocols of MRI Injector systems.

International Classification:
A61M 3700
US Classification:
604154, 604535, 600432, 125DIG 1, 125DIG 12
Abstract:
Embodiments of an injector, syringe, syringe interface, and piston/plunger assembly for an injector (of contrast medium, for example) are described. Preferably, the syringe is adapted to engage a syringe interface mechanism such that the syringe may be connected to an injector without regard to any particular orientation of the syringe to the injector or to the piston/plunger assembly.

US Patent:
7079886, Jul 18, 2006
Filed:
Aug 28, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/941224

Scott R. Griffith - Delmont PA, US
John Gardner - Wexford PA, US
Ronald Barbati - Pittsburgh PA, US
Assignee:
Medrad, Inc. - Indianola PA
International Classification:
A61B 6/00
US Classification:
600431, 600420, 600432, 600458, 604 20, 604 31, 604 65, 604 66, 604 67, 604246
Abstract:
A fluid injection arrangement in the context of patient imaging systems, in which phases of contrast medium injection and flushing medium injection can be freely and selectably ordered as to make available to the operator and patient a vast array of possible protocols that has hitherto been essentially unattainable. The arrangement provides a programmable KVO phase and the ability to program a first phase of injection procedure as a flushing medium phase.

US Patent:
20030216643, Nov 20, 2003
Filed:
Dec 3, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/309413
Inventors:
Douglas Zatezalo - Allison Park PA, US
Jeffrey Thompson - Allison Park PA, US
Steven Rygg - Irwin PA, US
Scott Griffith - Delmont PA, US
John Gardner - Wexford PA, US
Ronald Barbati - Pittsburgh PA, US
International Classification:
A61M005/00
A61B019/00
US Classification:
600/432000
Abstract:
A fluid injection arrangement, particularly involving a systematic fluid injection programming capability, in the context of patient imaging systems, in which phases of contrast medium injection and flushing medium injection can be freely and selectably ordered so as to make available to the operator and patient a vast array of possible protocols than has hitherto been essentially unattainable. Also contemplated is the use of a “hold” phase, involving an indefinite pause between phases of a protocol, in connection with such imaging systems. Further contemplated is the use of a “pause” phase in which a pause of fixed duration is pre-programmed into the protocols of MRI injector systems. Additionally contemplated is an internal stopwatch function operable to measure the duration of contrast medium propagation towards determining a scan delay, or for other purposes where such a function may be of benefit.

Front-Loading Injector System Including A Syringe And An Injector Having A Drive Piston Adapted To Connectively Engage The Syringe Plunger

US Patent:
20040116861, Jun 17, 2004
Filed:
Sep 23, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/669144
Inventors:
Mark Trocki - Cheswick PA, US
Mark Hitchins - Sewickley PA, US
Kevin Cowan - Allison Park PA, US
James Dedig - Pittsburgh PA, US
Francis Sciulli - Crafton PA, US
Steven Rygg - Irwin PA, US
Larry Fuchs - Ford City PA, US
Edward Rhinehart - Monroeville PA, US
Robert Parks - Pittsburgh PA, US
International Classification:
A61M037/00
US Classification:
604/131000
Abstract:
An injector system includes an injector and a syringe. The syringe preferably includes a body having a forward end and a rearward end, and a plunger movably disposed in the body. The injector preferably includes a housing and a piston movably disposed at least partially within the housing. The piston is adapted to drive the plunger of the syringe in a forward direction without a connective engagement therebetween to dispense fluid from the forward end of the body during an injection procedure, and to connectively engages the plunger to retract the plunger within the syringe.

International Classification:
A61M037/00
US Classification:
604/131000
Abstract:
An injector for injecting fluid from a syringe mounted thereon includes a housing, a drive member at least partially disposed within the housing and operable to engage a plunger of the syringe, and a syringe retaining mechanism associated with the housing. The syringe retaining mechanism is adapted to releasably engage the syringe regardless of the orientation of the syringe with respect to the injector. Further, the retaining mechanism is preferably movable upon rotation of the syringe between a relaxed state, where the syringe is engaged by the retaining mechanism, and a tensioned state, where the syringe is released from the retaining mechanism.
