An injection system is described that receives, from one or more sensors, a first group of one or more signals indicating a current volume of injection fluid dispensed from a fluid reservoir at a first time. The injection system determines, based on the first group of one or more signals, that a difference between a dispensed volume limit and the current volume of the injection fluid dispensed from the fluid reservoir at the first time is less than a necessary volume of fluid required to complete both a systolic injection phase and a diastolic injection phase. The injection system further, responsive to determining that the difference is less than the necessary volume of fluid required to complete both the systolic injection phase and the diastolic injection phase, controls the injection system to refrain from performing each of the systolic injection phase and the diastolic injection phase.

Angiogram injections using electrocardiographic synchronization

An injection setup kit can include a manifold connector, a first packaging container, and a fluid line. The first packaging container can define a first closed interior volume that includes a patient interface connector having a patient interface inlet, a first patient interface outlet, and a valve configured to selectively permit fluid communication through the patient interface connector. The patient interface inlet can be fluidly connected to the manifold outlet. The fluid line can have a first fluid line end and a second fluid line end. The first fluid line end can be connected to the patient interface inlet within the first closed interior volume. The second fluid line end can extend outside of the first closed interior volume and be connected to a manifold outlet outside of the first closed interior volume.

Injection setup kits and methods

Embodiments for protecting low-pressure blood pressure sensors in high-pressure fluid flow applications by equalizing pressure on both sides of a pressure sensor's diaphragm during high pressure are disclosed. A sensor protection device may include a pressure sensor assembly, a housing, and a plunger assembly. During low pressure, fluid in the primary flow path can flow through the housing, transferring its pressure to a first side of the diaphragm; the plunger assembly can prevent fluid flow into a secondary flow path in the housing, transferring atmospheric pressure to a second side of the diaphragm. During high pressure, fluid can still flow through the primary flow path, and the plunger assembly may now allow fluid flow into the secondary flow path, transferring pressure from the same fluid to the second side of the diaphragm to equal pressure across the diaphragm. The plunger assembly may automatically transition between low- and high-pressure configurations.
