Abstract:
1. An injection system, comprising: a fluid delivery system comprising a fluid container and a pumping mechanism having an inlet in fluid connection with the fluid container and an outlet having a connector; at least one tubing set adapted to be placed in removable fluid connection with the outlet of the pumping mechanism and a patient, the at least one tubing set comprising a mating connector adapted to be connected to the connector on the outlet of the pumping mechanism; a drive mechanism in operative connection with the pumping mechanism to pump fluid from the fluid container; a first information store associated with the pumping mechanism and providing at least configuration information relating thereto; a second information store associated with the at least one tubing set and providing configuration information relating thereto, wherein the configuration information provided by the second information store includes the volume of the at least one tubing set; and a controller in operative connection with the drive mechanism and adapted to read the first information store and the second information store to at least partly control the operation of the drive mechanism based thereon, wherein the volume information enables the controller to control a priming function in which the pumping mechanism and the at least one tubing set are primed with fluid from the fluid container.
