MEDRAD® MRXperion Instructions For Use | Mode d'emploi
5.
Ensure the fluid path is free from excess air. Remove
the spike.
6.
Remove the large spike from the packaging. Remove
the dust cover from the luer end of the spike. Install
the large spike onto the saline syringe (Syringe B).
Do not install with excessive force. Remove the cover
from the tip of the spike. Insert the spike into the
fluid source.
7.
Press the Fill B button twice to begin
Auto Fill of Syringe B.
8.
Ensure the fluid path is free from excess air. Remove
the spike. Discard the fluid source containers and
spike.
NOTE:
In steps 3 and 6, if using the Female/Female
Adapter (FFA) to load fluid from a pre-filled
syringe, attach the FFA onto the tip of the
syringe instead of a spike. (The FFA may be
purchased separately. The catalog number
for this item is FFA 50.)
9.
Connect the disposable tubing following the
instructions in the Connector Tube Installation
section.
Filling the Syringes: Manual
NOTE:
During loading, point the injector head up.
During an injection, point the injector head
down.
1.
Install new syringes.
2.
Remove the small spike from the packaging. Remove
the dust cover from the luer end of the spike. Install
the small spike onto the contrast syringe (Syringe A).
Do not install with excessive force. Remove the cover
from the tip of the spike. Insert the spike into the
fluid source.
3.
Fill Syringe A by pressing the Enable Piston Control
button to enable the piston controls and use the
reverse piston control to fill the syringe with the
desired amount of fluid. Alternatively, use the
manual knob on Side A of the injector.
4.
Ensure the fluid path is free from excess air. Remove
the spike.
5.
Remove the large spike from the packaging. Remove
the dust cover from the luer end of the spike. Install
the large spike onto the saline syringe (Syringe B).
Do not install with excessive force. Remove the cover
from the tip of the spike. Insert the spike into the
fluid source.
6.
Fill Syringe B by pressing the Enable Piston Control
button to enable the piston controls and use the
reverse piston control to fill the syringe with the
desired amount of fluid. Alternatively, use the
manual knob on Side B of the injector.
7.
Ensure the fluid path is free from excess air. Remove
the spike. Discard the fluid source containers and
spike.
NOTE:
In steps 2 and 5, if using the Female/Female
Adapter (FFA) to load fluid from a pre-filled
syringe, attach the FFA onto the tip of the
syringe instead of a spike. (The FFA may be
purchased separately. The catalog number
for this item is FFA 50.)
8.
Connect the disposable tubing following the
instructions in the Connector Tube Installation
section.
To help avoid an air embolism, syringes from Bayer are
equipped with FluiDots indicators. FluiDots indicators
should be observed as part of an arming procedure. When
the FluiDots are viewed through an empty syringe, the dots
appear as small narrow ellipses. When viewed through a
fluid-filled syringe, the dots become larger (almost round).
Empty Syringe
Filled Syringe
Operator vigilance and care, coupled with a set procedure, is
essential to minimizing the possibility of air embolism.
Ensure that one operator is designated the responsibility of
filling the syringe(s). Do not change operators during the
procedure. If an operator change must occur, ensure that
the new operator verifies that the fluid path is purged of air.
Connector Tube Installation
After loading and priming the syringes, install the connector
tube.
1.
Remove the connector tube from the package.
Remove the dust covers on the luer fittings.
2.
Ensure that all air is purged from the syringes.
3.
Securely attach the connector tube to the syringes as
shown. Do not install with excessive force.
4.
Ensure that the connector
luer fitting is secured to
the tips of the syringes
and verify that the tubing
is not kinked or
obstructed.
5.
Prime the tubing by pressing the Prime button.
6.
Ensure that all air is purged.
7.
Rotate the injector head downward.
8.
Examine the fluid path for air. Confirm that
the fluid path is clear of excess air by
pressing the Check for Air Confirmation
Button. Connect to the patient.
Removing the Syringes
1.
Disconnect the disposable tubing set from the
vascular entry device. The disposable tubing set does
not need to be disconnected from the syringes.
2.
Rotate the syringes and gently pull the syringes out
of the injector head. Discard the syringes and
disposable tubing set.
NOTE:
Once the syringes are removed from the
injector head, the piston will automatically
retract.
