Abstract

A multi-dose disposable fluid delivery system includes at least one fluid container, a multi-use fluid path set, and a plurality of single-use fluid path sets. The at least one fluid container has a connection port configured for fluidly connecting with a first end of the multi-use fluid path set. The second end of the multi-fluid path set is configured for fluidly connecting to a fluid injection apparatus. The plurality of single-use fluid path sets is connected in sequence to define a fluid path extending from a first single-use fluid path set to a last single- use fluid path set. Each of the plurality single-use fluid path sets has a first end and a second end. The first end of the first single-use fluid path set is configured for connecting to a delivery line. The second end of the last single-use fluid path set is configured for connecting to the injection apparatus.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A multi-dose fluid delivery system comprising:
a multi-use fluid path set having a first end configured for fluidly connecting to at least one fluid source and a second end configured for fluidly connecting to a fluid injection apparatus; and
a plurality of single-use fluid path sets connected in a series to define a fluid path extending from a first single-use fluid path set to a last single-use fluid path set, each of the plurality of single-use fluid path sets having a first end and a second end,
wherein the first end of each single-use fluid path set is configured for fluidly connecting to the patient delivery line when any of the plurality of single-use fluid path sets is the first single-use fluid path set in the series of single-use fluid path sets,
wherein the second end of the last single-use fluid path set is configured for fluidly connecting to the fluid injection apparatus; and
wherein the second end of the first single-use fluid path set is removable from the series of the plurality of single-use fluid path sets to expose the first end of a next single-use fluid path set to which the patient delivery line is then connectable.

2. The multi-dose fluid delivery system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one fluid source comprises a first fluid container having a first connection port and a second fluid container having a second connection port.

3. The multi-dose fluid delivery system of claim 2 , further comprising a first fluid line configured for connecting the first connection port to a first syringe of the fluid injection apparatus and a second fluid line configured for connecting the second connection port of the second fluid container to a second syringe of the fluid injection apparatus.

4. The multi-dose fluid delivery system of claim 1 , further comprising a delivery line configured for fluidly connecting the second end of the last single-use fluid path set with the fluid injection apparatus.

5. The multi-dose fluid delivery system of claim 2 , further comprising a sealed member for enclosing the first connection port, the second connection port, and the first end of the multi-use fluid path set.

6. A fluid injection system comprising:
a fluid injector having an injector housing defining at least one syringe port for receiving at least one syringe; and
a multi-dose fluid delivery system configured for fluidly connecting with the at least one syringe of the fluid injector, the multi-dose fluid delivery system comprising:
at least one fluid container configured for holding a medical fluid, the at least one fluid container having a connection port;
a multi-use fluid path set having a first end configured for fluidly connecting to the connection port of the at least one fluid container and a second end configured for fluidly connecting to the at least one syringe of the fluid injector; and
a plurality of single-use fluid path sets connected in a series to define a fluid path extending from a first single-use fluid path set to a last single-use fluid path set, each of the plurality of single-use fluid path sets having a first end and a second end,

wherein the first end of each single-use fluid path set is configured for fluidly connecting to the patient delivery line when any of the plurality of single-use fluid path sets is the first single-use fluid path set in the series of single-use fluid path sets,
wherein the second end of the last single-use fluid path set is configured for fluidly connecting to the at least one syringe of the fluid injector, and
wherein the second end of the first single-use fluid path set is removable from the series of the plurality of single-use fluid path sets to expose the first end of a next single-use fluid path set to which the patient delivery line is then connectable.

7. The fluid injection system of claim 6 , wherein the at least one fluid container is a first fluid container having a first fluid and a second fluid container having a second fluid.

8. The fluid injection system of claim 7 , further comprising:
a first fluid line configured for connecting the connection port of the first fluid container to a first syringe of the fluid injector;
a second fluid line configured for connecting the connection port of the second fluid container to a second syringe of the fluid injector; and
a delivery line having a first end connected to the second end of the last single-use fluid path set and a second end configured for fluidly connecting to at least one of the first syringe and the second syringe of the fluid injector.

9. The fluid injection system of claim 6 , further comprising a sealed member for enclosing the connection port of the at least one fluid container and the first end of the multi-use fluid path set.

10. A fluid path set assembly comprising:
a plurality of separable single-use fluid path sets connected in a series to define a fluid path extending from a first single-use fluid path set to a last single-use fluid path set, each of the plurality of single-use fluid path sets having a first end and a second end,
wherein the first end of each single-use fluid path set is configured for fluidly connecting to the patient delivery line when any of the plurality of single-use fluid path sets is the first single-use fluid path set in the series of single-use fluid path sets, and
wherein the second end of the last single-use fluid path set is configured for fluidly connecting to a fluid injector.

11. The fluid path set assembly of claim 10 , wherein the second end of each of the plurality of single-use fluid path sets has a removable cap.

12. The fluid path set assembly of claim 10 , wherein the second end of the first single-use fluid path set is removable to expose a first end of a second single-use fluid path set.
