Abstract
Systems and methods for delivering a medical fluid are disclosed. The system includes a fluid flow path, a fluid administration device adapted to deliver the medical fluid through the fluid flow path, and a controller in communication with the fluid administration device. The method includes using the system to determine a desired flow rate of the medical fluid at a distal end of the fluid flow path based upon at least a desired flow profile of the medical fluid at the distal end. The method further includes initiating a fluid delivery operation by delivering the medical fluid through the fluid flow path according to fluid delivery parameters provided to the fluid administration device by the controller. Information about the fluid delivery operation may be received at the controller which executes a control function to adjust the fluid delivery parameters based on the received information.
