Zusammenfassung:An image-guided lumbar puncture aspiration and injector system. The system includes an auto-injection device having a housing, at least one syringe having a fluid, a controller, a processor, a memory, and a display. An imaging device is communicatively coupled to the auto-injection device and captures images of a lumbar puncture area of a patient to be displayed on the display of the auto-injection device, helping identify a location for a lumbar puncture procedure. A needle assembly is coupled to the at least one syringe of the auto-injection device. An outer needle is adapted to be inserted into a location of the lumbar puncture area identified by the imaging device, and an inner needle is adapted to be inserted into the dura of the patient. The outer sheath needle protects the inner needle from contaminants. The controller operates the auto-injection device based on a programmed infusion and aspiration profile.
