11 Arming and Injecting
This chapter discusses:
• "Purged Air Confirmation"
• "Arming the Injector"
• "Performing an Injection"
• "Completing an Injection"
• "Refilling Syringe During a Procedure"
11.1 Purged Air Confirmation
Before arming, the system prompts the operator to confirm that air has been purged from the syringe
and disposable set. Once in the armed stated, the system will not prompt the operator to check for air
unless the operator performs an action that may introduce air into the disposable set, such as opening
the drop front or a powered reverse piston movement. It is the operator’s responsibility to successfully
purge all air from the system.
The Purged Air Confirmation icon displays on the Display Control Unit after the operator confirms air is
expelled from syringe and disposable set. The icon remains active until the system requires the
operator to re-check for air.
11.2 Arming the Injector
This section describes how to arm in arm single mode and arm multi mode.
Vessel Dissection Hazard - Serious patient injury or death may result.
• Do not move injector head or pedestal while catheter is connected to patient.
Air Embolism Hazard - Serious patient injury or death may result.
• Do not inject air.
• Purge all air from syringe and disposables before connecting or injecting to patient.
• Verify that the FluiDots indicators are rounded to ensure that fluid is present in the
syringe.
Air Embolism Hazard - Serious patient injury or death may result.
• Do not inject air.
• Purge all air from syringe and disposables before connecting or injecting to patient.
• Use only accessories and options provided by Bayer which are designed specifically for
the injection system.
• Inspect system and do not use when signs of damage are evident.
• Verify that the FluiDots indicators are rounded to ensure that fluid is present in the
syringe.
• Use the handle and the back of the Injector Head (but not the Manual Knob or tubing) to
rotate the head to the Inject (downward) position prior to arming and injecting.
• Avoid contact of and damage to syringe tip, tubing, and connections when manipulating
injector position.
