ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an injection system and a pump system for use therein for pressurizing a liquid medium for injection into a patient. In general, the pump system comprises a pressurizing unit having at least one chamber. Each chamber has disposed therein a pressurizing mechanism to pressurize liquid medium within the chamber. Preferably, the pressurizing mechanism positively displaces the liquid medium through generally linear motion of the pressurizing mechanism within the chamber. Through reciprocating linear motion of the pressurizing mechanism (for example, a piston), the liquid medium is alternatively drawn into the chamber from a source of liquid medium (for example, a container) and forced out of the chamber under a desired pressure. Each chamber comprises an inlet port and an outlet port. The pump system also preferably comprises an inlet port check valve which allows the liquid medium to flow into the chamber through the inlet port, but substantially prevents the liquid medium from flowing out of the chamber through the inlet port. Likewise, the pump system preferably comprises an outlet port check valve which allows pressurized liquid medium to flow out of the chamber through the outlet port, but substantially prevents the liquid medium from flowing into the chamber through the outlet port. Each inlet port is connected to a source of liquid medium. Each outlet port is connected to a common outlet line or channel leading to the patient.
