Abstract:
1. A power injector comprising: a syringe plunger driver comprising a motorized drive source; a first syringe comprising a first plunger; a first fluid in said first syringe, wherein said first fluid is contrast media; a second syringe comprising a second syringe plunger; a second fluid in said second syringe, wherein said second fluid is different from said first fluid; and power injector control logic comprising: a logic operator, wherein said logic operator is configured to transfer control from said injection protocol to said drip mode injection protocol upon an occurrence of and in response to a first condition, wherein said first condition comprises a suspension of said injection protocol that is identified by said power injector; a graphical user interface; and a first prompt presented on said graphical user interface to initiate said drip mode injection protocol, wherein presentation of said first prompt is in response to an identified occurrence of said suspension of said injection protocol by said power injector, wherein said drip mode injection protocol is manually initiated by receipt of user input to said first prompt, wherein execution of said injection protocol resumes after termination of said drip mode injection protocol, and wherein said syringe plunger driver is operated: 1) to advance said first plunger of said first syringe in a fluid discharge direction for said first phase of said injection protocol; 2) to advance said second plunger of said second syringe in a fluid discharge direction for said second phase of said injection protocol; and 3) to advance said second plunger of said second syringe in said fluid discharge direction for said drip mode injection protocol.
