9 Setting and Managing Protocols
This chapter discusses how to:
• "Set Injection Parameters from the Home Tab"
• "Manage Protocols from the Protocols Tab"
9.1 Set Injection Parameters from the Home Tab
NOTE:
Refer to syringe and disposable packaging to confirm lowest pressure rating prior
to programing an injection.
9.1.1 Set Injection Parameters on Home Tab - Single
A Single protocol injects a set Volume of contrast at one flow rate, pressure, rise time, and delay time
(if using ISI).
NOTE:
Delay and rise time are not available for mL/m protocols.
1.
Select the Single tab (A).
Figure 9 - 1: Set Single Protocol
Over Volume Hazard - Serious patient injury or death may result.
• Do not program a protocol outside of the clinically accepted volume range.
• Ensure that the correct volume is programmed in the protocol for the target anatomy.
Vessel Dissection Hazard - Serious patient injury or death may result.
• Do not program a protocol outside of the clinically accepted flow rate range.
• Ensure that the correct flow rate is programmed in the protocol for the target anatomy.
• Do not program a protocol outside of the clinically accepted pressure limit.
• Ensure that the correct pressure limit is programmed in the protocol for the target
anatomy.
Foreign Body Embolism Hazard - Serious patient injury or death may result.
• Do not program a pressure greater than the lowest rated disposable’s pressure rating.
Bloodborne contamination hazard - Serious patient and/or worker injury or death may
result.
• Do not program a pressure greater than the lowest rated disposable’s pressure rating.
