Data collection device, system, method, and computer program product for collecting data related to the dispensing of contrast media
First Claim
1. A device adapted to be capable of communicating with a medical device configured to be capable of dispensing a contrast media as part of a medical procedure, the device comprising:
- a controller adapted to be capable of communicating with the medical device, the controller configured to be capable of transmitting or receiving a data set from the medical device, the controller being further configured to be capable of arranging and modifying data within the data set, data within the data set being related to an operation of the medical device; and
a storage device configured to be in communication with the controller, the storage device further configured to be capable of receiving the data within the data set such that the data within the data set may be selectively retained by the storage device.

Abstract
The present invention comprises devices, systems, methods, and computer program products for managing data related to the dispensing of contrast media as part of a medical procedure. The device and system provide a controller that is capable of communicating with a dispensing device so as to extract, arrange, process, and present a data set (e.g., a usage data set) from the dispensing device to a user such that the user may selectively monitor statistics related to the administration of contrast media, saline, or other consumables used during one or more dispensing operations. The method and computer program product for managing data related to the dispensing of contrast media may further allow for extraction, arrangement, processing, and presentation of the data set via the controller, via a user interface that is operably engaged with the dispensing device and/or via a computer network that may be in communication with the dispensing device.
