Zusammenfassung:A fluid injector system includes at least one syringe configured for injecting medical fluid and a fluid path assembly in fluid communication with the at least one syringe, the fluid path assembly including at least one air detection region. The system includes an air detector configured to detect one or more air bubbles in a fluid path associated with the air detection region, at least one shutoff valve at a distal end of the fluid path assembly, and at least one processor programmed or configured to actuate the shutoff valve in response to the air detector detecting the one or more air bubbles in the fluid path associated with the air detection region to prevent fluid flow out of the fluid path assembly. The fluid path assembly has a length greater than a distance that an air bubble can travel or expand during an actuation time of the shutoff valve.
