First Claim
Patent Images
1. A power injector comprising:
- a syringe plunger driver comprising a motorized drive source;
an orientation sensor;
a communication device; and
syringe communication logic operatively interconnected with said orientation sensor and configured to initiate a syringe communication in response to said syringe communication logic identifying an occurrence of a first condition utilizing an output of said orientation sensor, wherein said communication device is operatively interconnected with said syringe communication logic, wherein said first condition is when said power injector experiences a change in orientation, and wherein said syringe communication is a communication between said communication device and a syringe data tag.
