Device, method, and computer program product for dispensing media as part of a medical procedure
First Claim
1. A medical device configured to dispense a medium as part of a medical procedure, the device comprising:
- a plurality of injector rams each associated with at least one respective syringe, each syringe operably coupled to the medical device and configured to contain the medium, and each injector ram configured to be extended and/or retracted within a respective syringe;
a controller device configured to actuate each of the plurality of injector rams to extend and/or retract relative to the at least one respective syringe;
a user interface in communication with the controller device and configured to receive a user input from a user of the medical device; and
a storage device configured to be in communication with the controller device, the storage device further configured to receive the user input from the user interface and selectively store the user input such that the plurality of injector rams are configured to be actuated in response to a single user input.

Abstract
A device, method, and computer program product for controlling a dispensing device adapted to be capable of dispensing contrast media as part of a medical imaging procedure. The device comprises a controller device, user interface, injector portion, and a storage device such that a user of the device may initialize multiple dispensing functions in the injector portion and user interface via a user input. The method and computer program product for controlling a dispensing device comprises receiving a user input from a user interface and directing the dispensing device to perform multiple dispensing functions, including actuating the injector portion and updating the user interface, in response to a user input.
