Claim:
1. A disposable fluid connector to be used with a powered injector that injects medical fluid into a patient, the disposable fluid connector comprising: a first single-use tubing component having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end of the first single-use tubing component to be operatively coupled to an output of a first re-usable syringe of the powered injector, and the distal end of the first single-use tubing component to be operatively coupled to a patient line; a second single-use tubing component having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end of the second single-use tubing component to be operatively coupled to an output of a second re-usable syringe of the powered injector, and the distal end of the second single-use tubing component to be operatively coupled to the patient line, wherein the first single-use tubing component and the second single-use tubing component are each usable only for a single patient procedure, and wherein the first re-usable syringe and the second re-usable syringe are each reusable for multiple patient procedures; and a connection comprising an electrical connector that is configured to electrically connect the connection to both the powered injector and to an external medical device, wherein when the connection is electrically connected to the powered injector and electrically connected to the external medical device, the connection is configured to electrically connect the external medical device to the powered injector, and wherein the disposable fluid connector comprises a disposable cassette including a portion that is non-removably attached to both the first single-use tubing component and the second single-use tubing component, such that the disposable fluid connector is loadable and unloadable as one assembly into the powered injector.
