1. A system comprising:
- a housing comprising a first injector ram, a second injector ram, a first valve actuator and a second valve actuator;
a multi-use subassembly comprising a first fluid barrel, a second fluid barrel, a first valve, a second valve, a contrast tubing line, and a saline tubing line, wherein the multi-use subassembly is configured to be placed within the housing;
a user interface capable of receiving a first user input, wherein when the first user input is received, the first valve actuator is configured to move the first valve to a first position and the second valve actuator is configured to move the second valve to a first position.

Abstract
Automated injection system disclosed in this application advantageously provides physicians with a simplified interface for selecting fluid sources, such as saline, contrast, or a mixture of both, to inject at high pressures. The injector system may comprise a multi-use subassembly, a single-use subassembly, a fitting to fluidly connect the multi-use and single-use subassemblies, a hand held controller, a user interface, and an injector housing.
