Meter for electrically measuring and recording injection syringe doses
First Claim
1. A device for electrically measuring and recording a dose contained in a syringe, said syringe having an input terminal, said device comprising:
- a) an input contact for contacting said input terminal;
b) a holder for holding said syringe, said holder and said input contact being positioned such that when said syringe is inserted in said holder, said input contact contacts said input terminal;
c) a voltage generator connected to said input contact for applying a voltage to said input terminal when said input contact contacts said input terminal;
d) a measuring means for measuring an electrical response from said syringe, said electrical response resulting from said voltage and indicating a size of said dose; and
e) an electronic recording means for recording the measurement of said electrical response.

Abstract
A method and device for electrically measuring and recording injection syringe doses. The device has a voltage generator for applying a voltage to an input terminal of a syringe. The device also has a measuring instrument for measuring an electrical response from the syringe. The electrical response results from the voltage and indicates the size of the dose in the syringe. An electronic memory records the measurement of the electrical response so that there is an electronic record of the dose injected. A data port is connected to the electronic memory so that the dose records may be transmitted to a host computer.
