Abstract

A fluid delivery system is provided and includes a power injector supporting a high pressure syringe. The fluid delivery system further includes a manifold and a low pressure hand-operated syringe. The manifold generally includes a plurality of fluid control valves in series fluid communication. A first fluid control valve of the plurality of fluid control valves has a first port, a second inlet port, and a third port. The third port of the first fluid control valve is in fluid connection with a first port of a second fluid control valve. The low pressure hand-operated syringe is in fluid connection with the first port of the first fluid control valve, and the high pressure syringe is in fluid connection with the second port of the first fluid control valve. The fluid control valves may be multi-position stopcock valves.
