A fluid injector system includes a control device operatively associated with a first drive component configured to pressurize and inject a first fluid and a second drive component configured to pressurize and inject a second fluid. The control device includes at least one processor programmed or configured to: during a first phase of a multi-phase injection protocol, actuate at least the first drive component to inject the first fluid; during the first phase of the multi-phase injection protocol and prior to transitioning to a second phase of the multi-phase injection protocol, actuate the second drive component to pressurize the second fluid relative to a pressure of the first fluid; and during the second phase of the multi-phase injection protocol, actuate the second drive component to inject at least the second fluid so that a desired steady-state ratio of the first fluid and the second fluid in the second phase is reached.

Fluid injector system with improved ratio performance

A method, system, and computer program product for predictive maintenance. A method may include receiving operation data associated with one or more injection systems, wherein the operation data includes one or more operation parameters associated with one or more operations of the one or more injection systems: determining one or more prediction scores for the one or more injection systems based on the operation data, wherein the one or more prediction scores include one or more predictions of one or more operation failures or misuses for the one or more injection systems; and providing maintenance data associated with the one or more operation failures or misuses, wherein the maintenance data is based on the one or more prediction scores.

The invention relates to a biodegradable, magnesium-containing bone screw for implanting into a patient body for use in medical applications, such as, orthopedic and craniofacial surgery. The bone screw has a tapered head, a threaded shaft and pointed tip. The composition of the bone screws provide for improved biodegradability and biocompatibility, and the features of the structure of the bone screws facilitates guidance and placement during implantation as well as reduces the potential for mechanical failures. Moreover, the bone screws are effective to provide targeted release of magnesium ions resulting in enhanced new bone formation.
