An angiographic injector system and a method of controllably delivering medical fluid to a patient from an angiographic injector system are disclosed. A multiple processor control system is used to actively control the injection process and to monitor sensed functions of the system. The multiple processors provide dual redundancy safety circuits for critical control functions such as syringe motor drive speed and current. A motor/servo-amplifier nested control function is also disclosed. A unique method and apparatus are disclosed for establishing injection parameter default values just prior to an injection procedure that are based on physiological values of the patient to be treated. The injector system uses an interactive display panel that presents sequenced set-up screens to the user and which enables the user to select injection procedures, parameters and other modes of operation directly through the interactive panel.

We claim: 1. A device for injecting angiographic fluid into a patient comprising: an actuator assembly having an axially movable shaft; a receptacle axially aligned with and positioned adjacent to said actuator assembly, said receptacle sized to receive a syringe; a syringe insertable into said receptacle, said syringe having a movable plunger aligned with and engageable to said movable shaft when said syringe is located in said receptacle; a motor linked to said movable shaft such that energization of said motor causes motion of said movable shaft into and out of said syringe; a control system operably connected to said motor for causing movement of said movable shaft; said control system adapted to allow a user to select an injection routine from two or more injection routines, each of the two or more injection routines being dedicated to a different injection procedure for a vessel of a heart of a patient, said control system being further adapted to allow said user to input a numerical patient characteristic value; said control system having a control console, said control console having a selector for selecting one of said injection routines; said control system having a motor circuit directing the speed of said motor according to input data from said user; said control system including a remote switch device connected to said control system providing user input data to said motor circuit; and, said control system including a routine enabling operability of said switch device during injection of fluid into said patient so as to enable continuously variable changes to said motor speed during said injection according to manipulation of said switch by said user, wherein said control system automatically determines default injection parameters based upon (a) the injection routine selected by the user, and (b) the numerical patient characteristic value input by the user, and wherein said default injection parameters include at least one of a flow rate limit, a volume limit, a maximum rise time and a pressure limit, said limits being automatically determined as a function of said numerical patient characteristic value and said selected injection routine. 2. A device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said selection of injection routines includes at least three different routines. 3. A device as set forth in claim 2, wherein said at least three different routines include a left coronary artery routine, a right coronary artery routine and a left ventricle/aorta routine. 4. A device as set forth in claim 1, wherein each of said selection of routines includes a set of default parameters. 5. A device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said numerical patient characteristic value is patient weight. 6. A device as set forth in claim 5, wherein said default injection parameters determined by said control system include a flow rate limit calculated as a function of said patient weight. 7. A device as set forth in claim 6, wherein the flow rate limit is proportional to a natural logarithm of the patient weight. 8. A device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the numerical patient characteristic value is representative of one or more of: patient weight, patient age, wellness of the patient, vascular robustness of the patient, and catheter size. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein the remote switch device is one of a handheld user-actuated device and a foot operated device. 10. A method for injecting angiographic fluid into a patient comprising: providing an injector system having an actuator assembly and a receptacle for receiving a syringe; installing said syringe into said receptacle; moving a shaft of said actuator assembly to contact a plunger of said syringe; causing movement of said shaft with a motor, said motor being in operable communication with a control system; viewing a control console connected with said control system; selecting an injection procedure from a plurality of different injection procedures offered on said control console, each of said injection procedures being for an injection on a vessel of a heart of a patient; initiating a fluid injection procedure on a patient based on user input data submitted to said control system; and, performing a routine in said control system so as to allow continuously variable changes in a speed of said shaft during an injection, said changes being performed according to changes in input data from said user, wherein default injection parameters are automatically determined based upon (a) the injection procedure selected, and (b) a numerical patient characteristic value associated with a condition of the patient to be treated, and wherein said default injection parameters include at least one of a flow rate limit, a volume limit, a maximum rise time and a pressure limit, said limits being automatically determined as a function of said numerical patient characteristic value and said selected injection routine. 11. A method according to claim 10, wherein the selecting of an injection procedure includes selecting from at least three different injection procedures. 12. A method according to claim 11, wherein the selecting of an injection procedure includes selecting from a left coronary artery procedure, a right coronary artery procedure and a left ventricle/aorta procedure. 13. A method according to claim 10, wherein said setting of said default parameters includes setting according to patient weight. 14. A method according to claim 10, wherein said changes in said speed of said shaft are achieved through manipulation of a switching device enabled for operation during said injection procedure by performance of said routine. 15. A method according to claim 14, wherein manipulation of said switching device is done remotely from said injector system. 16. A method according to claim 15, wherein said switching device is sterilized prior to said manipulation. 17. A method according to claim 15, wherein manipulation is performed at a location in near proximity to a wound of said patient. 18. A method according to claim 15, wherein manipulation includes changing a pressure level inside said switching device. 19. The method of claim 10, wherein said continuously variable changes in a speed of said shaft during an injection are effected by one of a handheld user-actuated device and a foot operated device.
