Abstract

A system for delivering fluid to a patient includes a container suitable for holding a fluid and an enclosure to shield the fluid. The system further includes a pump device capable of pumping fluid from the container and delivering the fluid to the patient, and the container adapted to be attachable to the pump device.

Claims

1. A system for delivering a fluid to a patient comprising:

a container suitable for holding a fluid and comprising an enclosure to shield the fluid; and

a pump device capable of pumping the fluid from the container and delivering the fluid to the patient;

wherein the container is adapted to be attachable to the pump device.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the fluid comprises a radiopharmaceutical fluid and the enclosure is radiation shielded.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the container comprises a heating/cooling element for heating/cooling the fluid.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the container is removably attached to the pump device via a release latch.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the pump device comprises controls positioned on the body of the pump device to control operation of the pump device.

6. The system of claim 1 further comprising a remote control device associated with the pump device to control operation of the pump device.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the container is disposable.

8. The system of claim 1 further comprising a second container removably attachable to the pump device and containing a different fluid from the fluid.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein the fluid comprises a pharmaceutical fluid and the different fluid comprises a diluent fluid.

10. The system of claim 8 further comprising a mixing device associated with the pump device for mixing the fluid and the different fluid for delivering a fluid mixture of the fluid and the different fluid to the patient.

11. The system of claim 8 wherein the mixing device comprises a sterile tubing set for mixing the fluid and the different fluid.

12. The system of claim 1 wherein the pump device is manually operated.

13. The system of claim 1 wherein the container is adapted to be removably attachable to the pump device.
