Injector with changeable syringe constants
First Claim
Patent Images
1. Within a contrast media injector system, a method for modifying syringe constants, said method comprising the steps of:
- displaying an interface that permits a service technician to configure one or more service-level aspects of the injector system;
providing within the interface a data collection routine that prompts for the syringe constants;
in response to said prompts, receiving input related to the syringe constants; and
updating a syringe definition according to the received input.

Abstract
An intravenous contrast injector which stores different syringe definitions in firmware includes a software routine that permits a service technician to update the syringe definitions without requiring the installation of new firmware. These syringe definitions can then be used when the injector performs operational routines such as filling a syringe.

16. A method for updating an injector system comprising the steps of:
-
entering a service mode of the injector system;
inputting one or more syringe constants;
based on the one or more syringe constants, calculating an additional syringe constant; and
storing a syringe definition in the injector system based on the one or more syringe constants and the calculated syringe constant.
