Front-loading syringe adapter for front-loading medical injector
First Claim
1. A syringe adapter for an injector comprising a drive piston and an injector face plate defining an opening therein through which the drive piston is extendable, the syringe adapter comprising:
- an adapter face plate defining an adapter opening therein through which the drive piston is extendable to connect to a plunger of a syringe, the adapter face plate comprising;
at least one mounting device for attaching the adapter face plate to one of the injector face plate and the injector after the injector face plate is removed therefrom; and
an attachment mechanism for allowing the syringe to be removably mounted on the adapter face plate, the attachment mechanism comprising a base for receiving the syringe, a pair of pivoting arms attached to the base and movable from an opened position to a closed position to engage the syringe, and a locking member extending from the base to secure the pair of pivoting arms in the closed position after the syringe is received by the base.

Abstract
The present syringe adapter (100), which permits use of syringes (40) of various types, sizes and configurations to be used with a front-loading injector (10), includes a removable injector face plate (120) having a releasable mounting mechanism (122a, 122b) for attaching the adapter face plate (120) to a front-load injector (10), a reducing sleeve (140) having a recess (190) for receiving the distal flange (44) of syringe (40), locking pivot arms (220, 240) pivotly attached to the reducing sleeve (140) to releasably engage syringe flange (44), and a piston extension (320) provided for extending the injector drive piston (16) for engagement with syringe plunger (46).

27. A syringe adapter for mounting a syringe comprising a plunger to an injector comprising a drive piston, at least one sensor and an injector face plate defining an opening therein having at least one recess and at least one protrusion and through which the drive piston is extendable, the syringe adapter comprising:
-
an adapter face plate defining an adapter opening therein through which the drive piston is extendable, the adapter face plate comprising;
at least one mounting ear for attaching the adapter face plate to the injector face plate, the at least one mounting ear operable to be inserted into the at least one recess and then rotated into engagement with the at least one protrusion to attach the adapter face plate to the injector face plate;
an attachment mechanism for removably mounting the syringe on the adapter face plate; and
at least one device adapted to cooperate with the at least one sensor on the injector when the adapter face plate is attached to the injector face plate. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53)
