主权项

1. A fluid delivery device comprising:
(a) an elongate member having a first and second end; (b) a plurality of fluid cartridge adapters spaced along the length of the elongate member, wherein each adapter is adapted to receive fluid from a pre-filled removable syringe; (c) a fluid channel that is centrally disposed within the elongate member and fluidly linked to the fluid cartridge adapters, wherein the fluid channel's first end is enclosed in the elongate member while the second end is operably linked to an exit portal; (d) one or more pressure modifying devices that are pressureably linked to the fluid channel so that a change in pressure from the pressure modifying device causes liquid to move into the fluid channel; (e) one or more detectors which can detect one or more machine readable indicators on the barrel of a pre-filled removable syringe once the syringe is inserted into the fluid delivery device, and then output information provided by the machine readable indicator to a computer, wherein one or more machine readable indicators comprise an optical machine-readable representation of data; (f) a structural housing so dimensioned as to contact the elongate member and restrict the elongate member's movement; and (g) a plurality of syringe holders attached to the structural housing and dimensioned so as to receive the removable syringes and restrict the movement of the syringes from a substantially upright position, wherein the plurality of syringe holders are comprised of a fixed portion and a hingeably attached portion, wherein the hingeably attached portion can be attached and detached from the fixed portion of the holder so as to allow for the insertion of a pre-filled removable syringe.
