Abstract:
1. A system configured for communication between a plurality of medical devices, the system comprising: a dispensing device configured for dispensing a contrast media as part of a medical procedure; a controller configured for communicating with the dispensing device and for receiving a data set from the dispensing device, the controller being further configured for sorting and modifying the data within the data set and for partitioning the data within the data set into procedure data subsets corresponding to individual dispensing operations, the data within the data set being related to contrast usage and to dispensing operations performed by the dispensing device; a storage device configured to be in communication with the controller, the storage device further configured for receiving the data within the data set such that the data within the data set may be selectively retained by the storage device; one or more electronic devices, the one or more electronic devices including a medical imaging device and a medical imaging device controller associated with the medical imaging device; a graphical user interface configured for communicating with the storage device and the controller so as to enable a user to selectively access, modify, and supplement the data within the data set with patient data related to a recipient of the contrast media; the controller further configured for communicating with the one or more electronic devices, the controller being further configured for receiving a supplemental data set from the one or more electronic devices, the controller further configured for compiling the data within the supplemental data set with the data from the dispensing device, the controller further configured for displaying a navigation display on the graphical user interface, the navigation display comprising a contrast button and a dispensing device button, wherein the controller is further configured to display a chronological summary of contrast usage data on the graphical user interface when the user selects the contrast button and to display a chronological summary of dispensing device operations data on the graphical user interface when the user selects the device dispensing button; and wherein the chronological summary of contrast usage data further comprises a plurality of time buttons each corresponding to a non-overlapping period of time within the period of time for which the contrast usage data is displayed in the chronological summary, and wherein, when the user selects one of the time buttons, the controller is further configured to display the contrast usage data for the period of time corresponding to the selected time button.
