==CASSETTE FOR RETENTION OF FLUID PATH COMPONENTS FOR FLUID INJECTOR SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017003 titled 'CASSETTE FOR RETENTION OF FLUID PATH COMPONENTS FOR FLUID INJECTOR SYSTEM

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract of this patent application describes a cassette designed to hold fluid path components for a fluid injector. The cassette includes a body with features for holding the fluid path components and a connecting member for removably connecting the cassette to the fluid injector. The connecting member has pivotable connecting features that can be connected to corresponding connecting feature receivers on the fluid injector, allowing the body of the cassette to pivotally move between an unlatched position and a latched position. In the latched position, the fluid path components on the cassette are positioned for operative connection to corresponding features of the fluid injector.

* The patent application describes a cassette for holding fluid path components for a fluid injector.
* The cassette includes a body with features for holding the fluid path components.
* A connecting member is used to removably connect the cassette to the fluid injector.
* The connecting member has pivotable connecting features that can be connected to corresponding connecting feature receivers on the fluid injector.
* The body of the cassette can pivotally move between an unlatched position and a latched position.
* In the latched position, the fluid path components on the cassette are positioned for operative connection to corresponding features of the fluid injector.

Potential Applications:
* Medical devices: The cassette could be used in medical devices such as infusion pumps or syringe pumps to hold and connect fluid path components.
* Laboratory equipment: The cassette could be utilized in laboratory equipment that requires fluid injection or fluid handling systems.
* Industrial applications: The cassette could find applications in industrial processes that involve fluid injection or fluid control systems.

Problems Solved:
* Simplified fluid path connection: The cassette provides a simplified and efficient way to connect fluid path components to a fluid injector.
* Easy removal and replacement: The removability of the cassette allows for easy removal and replacement of fluid path components, reducing downtime and improving maintenance.
* Flexibility in positioning: The pivotable connecting features enable the cassette to be pivotally movable, allowing for flexible positioning of the fluid path components.

Benefits:
* Time-saving: The cassette design simplifies the process of connecting fluid path components, saving time during setup and maintenance.
* Versatility: The cassette's removability and pivotable movement provide versatility in fluid path configuration and component replacement.
* Improved reliability: The secure connection between the cassette and the fluid injector ensures reliable fluid flow and reduces the risk of leakage or disconnection.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a cassette for holding fluid path components for a fluid injector may include a body defining at least one feature for holding at least one fluid path component for the fluid injector; and a connecting member for removably connecting the body of the cassette to the fluid injector, the connecting member operatively connected to the body, wherein the connecting member comprises at least one pivotable connecting feature protruding from the body, and wherein each of the at least one pivotable connecting feature is configured for removably connecting to a corresponding connecting feature receiver on the fluid injector such that the body is pivotally movable relative to the fluid injector between a first, unlatched position and a second, latched position in which the at least one fluid path component on the body of the cassette is positioned for operative connection to a corresponding feature of the fluid injector.
