Covidien OptiVantage DH
Covidien · Model OptiVantage DH
Fully Programmable Powerhead Enables the technologist to stay with the patient longer. Powerhead features provide the ultimate in user-friendly operation. Saline can be programmed to inject prior to, or immediately following, contrast. Sleek and streamlined design for ergonomic convenience. All programming can also be achieved in the control room at the remote console. Perform a saline flush first to check for patent veins, and correct placement of the cannula, prior to contrast injection. Stay at patient’s side while testing. Perform a Timing Bolus injection of contrast medium followed by a saline flush to determine ideal scan delay for optimum image quality.
Typical Failure Modes
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.
Message fault / injector will not arm
HighSymptoms: Error message or code, injector will not arm or aborts an injection.
Root cause: Air in the syringe / line, a syringe not seated, or a subsystem fault indexed in the troubleshooting section.
No drive / plunger will not advance
MediumSymptoms: Piston will not move, inaccurate flow or volume, stalls under pressure.
Root cause: Plunger drive motor, drive belt, or the plunger-position potentiometer.
Will not inject / dead unit
MediumSymptoms: No response, blank display, or arms but no delivery.
Root cause: Power supply, control board, or a head-to-console cable fault.
Syringe heat maintainer fault
MediumSymptoms: Contrast not warmed, heater indicator off or flashing.
Root cause: Failed heat maintainer or its cable.
Garbled or missing remote / display message
LowSymptoms: Control panel text corrupt or the remote shows nothing.
Root cause: Display card or the communication path.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Message or malfunction code
- Follow ESD precautions before touching any board.
- Note the exact message and whether it appeared at arm or during injection.
- Look it up in the Message / Non-Message Faults section.
- Try the simple causes first - syringe seated, air cleared, cables seated.
- Disconnect the power cord before removing or replacing any PC board.
Symptom: No drive / plunger stalls
- Check for a mechanical obstruction at the plunger.
- Listen for the drive motor on a manual advance.
- Inspect the drive belt for wear or slip.
- Check the plunger-position pot.
- Replace the belt, pot or motor as isolated, then verify delivered volume vs set volume.
