摘要:
Contrast administration data that relates to operation of a contrast media injector system (602) may be converted from at least one format (e.g., a CAN-compliant format) to at least one other format (e.g., an HL-7-compliant format) for use by a medical system (600). Data on contrast media prescribed for an imaging operation using an imaging system (690), data on contrast media dispensed from a contrast media storage/dispensing unit (500) for use in this imaging operation, and data on contrast media actually administered/injected by a contrast media injector system (602) for this imaging operation may be stored in a data structure (780). Patient renal function data may be used to control the dispensing of contrast media from the contrast media/storage/dispensing unit (500), to control the operation of the contrast media injector system (602), or both, and may be stored in the data structure (780) as well.

A contrast media injection system includes detects the absolute position of the syringe ram using a non-contact sensor. A series of magnets and Hall-Effect sensors may be used or an opto-reflective system. Illuminated knobs that are connected to the drive mechanism for the syringe ram rotate with the drive and provide visual feedback on operation through the illumination. Analog Hall-Effect sensors are used to determine the presence or absence of magnets that identify the type of faceplate being used. The faceplates include control electronics, connected to the powerhead through connectors, which may be interchangeably used by the two faceplates. The faceplate electronics include detectors for automatically detecting the capacity of pre-filled syringes. Additional features include using historical data to provide optimum pressure limit values during an injection protocol, a removable memory device for storing and transferring information such as injection protocols and injector statistics, and password protection of such protocols.

Various embodiments of transdermal patch disposal devices are disclosed. Each such disposal device utilizes a containment having a patch disposal slot. A transdermal patch may be directed through this patch disposal slot for retention within an internal chamber of the containment. This patch disposal slot may be configured to reduce the potential of being able to withdraw a transdermal patch back out of the containment through the patch disposal slot. The interior of the containment may include one or more ribs which may reduce the potential of being able to withdraw a transdermal patch back out of the containment through the patch disposal slot.

Pharmaceutical product dispensers (e.g., in the shape of a common ink pen) are operable to indicate information regarding a dosing schedule of a pharmaceutical product dispensable from the dispenser. Embodiments of the dispensers may include a plurality of dosing segments, each corresponding to a different dose of the pharmaceutical product. Actuation of an actuator may result in interaction between the actuator and the pharmaceutical product storage area such that a dose of pharmaceutical product contained in the pharmaceutical product storage area is dispensed, along with a corresponding advancement of the plurality of dosing segments. The dispenser may also include one or more locks to prevent unauthorized access to the pharmaceutical product (e.g., by a child or the like). Furthermore, the pharmaceutical product dispenser may include a disabling mechanism to permanently disable actuation of the actuator of the dispenser.
摘要:
A power injector is provided for injecting fluid from a replaceable syringe and through an injection tube into the body of an animal. The syringe includes one or more operator-removable and interchangeable syringe mounting heads, at least one of which mounts syringes of a rear loadable type. Preferably an alternative head is provided that accepts front loadable syringes. The mounting head includes an opening and a moveable syringe holder that preferably pivots open to receive a syringe from the back of the holder and pivots closed to orient the rear of the syringe over the ram. The holder has a slot therethrough having a width sufficient to permit an injection tube attached to the syringe nozzle to be moved transversely through the slot to permit the syringe to be removed from the holder without disconnecting the tube from the orifice of the syringe and without withdrawing the tip of the tube rearwardly through the opening. The holder preferably includes a replaceable insert configured to snugly support a rear loadable syringe of a given configuration. One insert is preferably provided in the form of a pressure sleeve configured to support a syringe during high pressure use. The head has a locking mechanism that locks the syringe to the injector, couples the syringe plunger to the ram, locks and releases the head and locks the holder in operating position.

A container (100) for storing transdermal patches is disclosed. The container (100) includes a child-resistant mechanism (112) to reduce the likelihood of access to the transdermal patches (TP) by children. The child-resistant mechanism (112) may include first and second access components (116, 120) that may be disposed in a non-opposing manner and that may be in any appropriate form (e.g., buttons). Activation or engagement of the first and second access components (116, 120) in a particular manner allows the container (100) to assume an open configuration to access and/or load patches. In one arrangement, the first and second access components (116, 120) may be simultaneously engaged (e.g., depressed) to open the container (100). In another arrangement, the first and second access components (116, 120) may be engaged in series in a particular sequence to open the container (100).
摘要:
Systems and methods for tracking dosage periods are disclosed. The systems and methods may include setting a timer (140) to a predetermined value corresponding to a dosage period in response to the engagement of a cover (110) to a container (120). An indication may be provided that corresponds to a remaining period in the dosage period set by the engagement of the cover (110) and container (120). The indication may also indicate a remaining time period in the dosage period.
摘要:
An injection data management system (172) is disclosed. Injection-related data (182) is stored on the injection data management system (172) on a customer-by-customer (122) basis. A given customer (122) may communicate with the injection data management system (172) over the Internet (160) using an appropriate data communications device (124). Upon providing appropriate authenticating data (146) to the system (172), a customer (122) can access, view, and/or assess its own injection-related data (182) that is stored on the system (172) over the Internet (160).
摘要:
A pharmaceutical product supply is disclosed in the form of a container, a pharmaceutical product receiver, pharmaceutical product, an adhesive, and at least one release liner. The pharmaceutical product receiver includes a plurality of receptacles for pharmaceutical product. The container is initially disposed in a first configuration where all of the pharmaceutical product receiver receptacles may be accessible. The container is thereafter disposable in a second configuration where no covering for any of the pharmaceutical product receiver receptacles is accessible through any openable access incorporated by the container. One or more release liners may be moved to expose adhesive for disposing and retaining the container in its second configuration. The noted second configuration of the container facilitates disposal of the pharmaceutical product supply (e.g., now being in a form that should reduce the potential for gaining access to any remaining pharmaceutical product still enclosed within the pharmaceutical product receiver).
