CATHETERS
Connections to the patient are to be made from commercially available catheters
that have been approved for angiographic studies. For information on pressure
settings and limits, refer to instructions provided by the catheter manufacturers.
CLEANING
To avoid shock and prevent damage to the ACIST system, always disconnect it
from line power before cleaning. Do not use excessive water when cleaning. Do not
immerse any components in water. Be sure that the ACIST system is completely dry
before applying power. For more information, see “System Maintenance,” starting on
page 51.
ELECTRICAL ISOLATION
Connections to the patient are physically isolated from all ACIST system power
sources. Follow standard health care facility procedures to ensure that there is no
degradation of system electrical performance.
FLAMMABLE GASES
Do not use the ACIST system in the presence of fl ammable gases.
HIGH FLOW RATE INJECTIONS
High fl ow rate injections can cause patient injury or death. Use extreme care when
setting the fl ow rate to avoid unintentionally setting a high fl ow rate injection. When
high fl ow rate injection is required, be sure to select a pressure setting that does not
exceed the rated pressure of the selected catheter.
INJECTION SYSTEM SETTING
Check the ACIST system settings before injection, and verify appropriateness of all
injection parameters before injecting.
MOUNTING SYSTEM
The system must be mounted using ACIST approved mounting assemblies, such as
the Pedestal cart (see page 12) or the Patient Table (Bed) Rail Mount (see page 12).
Use of non-approved mounting equipment may cause injury.
PROPER USE OF PATIENT KITS
• Do not use the patient kits on more than one patient.
• Do not allow the disposables to sit, without use, for more than the maximum
time recommended by the contrast manufacturer.
• Do not reuse the syringe kit with the CL100H system.
• Do not use the multi-procedural syringe kit with the CMS2000 or Voyager for
more than fi ve (5) procedures.
• Do not allow the syringe kit to sit loaded with contrast longer than the maximum
time recommended by the contrast manufacturer.
• Do not use the multi-procedural syringe kit for more than fi ve (5) procedures.
• Replace the automated manifold and hand controller kits after each procedure.
• Properly discard disposables in accordance with all local, state, and federal
regulations, codes and directives.
SHOCK HAZARD
Hazardous voltage exists within the ACIST system. To avoid shock, only trained,
quali
fi ed service personnel should service the ACIST system. Always disconnect
the system from line power before attempting to perform any maintenance. Never
touch any pins on connectors or cables that have become disconnected from a live
system.
