Optimizing imaging MR conditional with scanners having a static magnetic field strength up to and including 7T Battery-free hydraulic drive system eliminates concerns about RF transients that could interfere with imaging Advancing safety ARM mode allows software to run diagnostic checks prior to injection, as well as guarding against unintentionally starting the injection Tilt lockout helps minimize the risk of air embolism by ensuring that the injector runs only in the down position Color-coded illuminating handle lets you know whether the injector RAM is in motion KVO feature provides added assurance that vein remains open If an overpressure condition occurs in this mode, the system automatically pauses the injection and notifies the technologist to check for occlusion Improving efficiency Nonmagnetic injector head allows flexible placement, with no limits on proximity to scanner Color-coded keys on either side of the injector handle allow you to test, arm, run, and stop the injector from whichever side is more accessible Remote with color LCD display panel featuring visual prompts to guide you through the process and soft keys to control the injection procedure from the control room User-friendly remote display with anatomical identifiers allows easy viewing and programming of protocols with up to 8 phases (3 phases when saline is included) Stores up to 50 separate programs Easily accessible Help function provides instant on-screen operational guidance IRiSMR® software database in remote captures and stores 12 months' worth of contrast, injection, and patient information.
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Symptoms: Injector will not advance the plunger, stalls, pressure-limit or motor-fault alarm.
Root cause: Drive-motor / lead-screw wear, a syringe-interface / plunger-ram fault, or a pressure-transducer fault.
Symptoms: Air-detector alarms with no air, or fails to detect air, will not arm.
Root cause: Air-detector sensor or a dirty / damaged sensor window.
Symptoms: The console loses the injector head, hand-controller unresponsive, arm / pause not working.
Root cause: Head-to-console cable / wireless link or a board fault.
Symptoms: Contrast not warmed, warmer alarm.
Root cause: Syringe / bath heater or its sensor.
Symptoms: Short run time, will not hold charge.
Root cause: Aged battery pack.
