An injector (20) that may be used to deliver radiographic contrast media and/or flushing solution into a patient's vascular system for the purposes such as obtaining enhanced diagnostic x-ray images. The injector includes the following features: (1) a syringe mount (26) for attachment of a syringe (28) to the injector (20); (2) display (34) and controls (90) for volume and flow rates; (3) automatic limiting of the operating pressure of the injector (20) as determined by the selection of a flow rate; (4) a syringe cradle (48) having a warming capability; (5) a purge/retract trigger (36) for control of the injection procedure having intuitive direction (i.e., forward for injecting, reverse for filing), non-contact control transmission through the housing of an injector (20) for an improved seal integrity, a speed lock, and/or the ability to change the concentration and/or flow rate of media or other fluid during an injection procedure; (6) a switch to determine when the drive ram (46) is in a 'home' position; (7) a'soft' on/off power switch separate from the injector; and (8) a structure to prevent rotation of the drive ram (46) about its axis of symmetry (76). Additionally, the injector system includes software for the control of various components. |
