Fluid injection system providing visual stimuli
First Claim
1. A fluid injection system comprising:
- an injector comprising a drive mechanism and an illumination device;
a fluid container operably associated with the drive mechanism; and
a control device operably associated with the drive mechanism, the control device comprising a computer screen having at least one element affiliated with the illumination device, wherein the illumination device and the at least one element emit light of the same color.

Abstract
A fluid injection system includes an injector comprising a drive mechanism and an illumination device, a fluid container operably associated with the drive mechanism, and a control device operably associated with the drive mechanism. The control device comprises a computer screen having at least one element affiliated with the illumination device. The illumination device and the at least one element emit light of the same color. Further, a method of operating an injector system providing visual stimuli corresponding to a programmed injection protocol includes perceiving visual stimuli provided by an injector or a control device of the injector system, recognizing a pattern provided by the visual stimuli, correlating the recognized pattern to the programmed injection protocol, determining whether the programmed injection protocol is a desired injection protocol, and initiating the programmed injection protocol, if it is determined that the programmed injection protocol is the desired injection protocol.
