5.1 Injection Protection The following means are provided to protect against over and under injections: An on-screen indication of insufficient volume is provided whenever the total volume programmed to be delivered is greater than the amount of fluid in the syringe. The system monitors injections to detect over rate or over volume conditions due to system faults. The delivered volume is also monitored against the total programmed volume for the injection.
5 - 19
Mark 7 Arterion Injection System
Once the system has disarmed a tone will sound and a disarm message displays on the Display Control Unit screen. When any fault condition is detected, the injection will stop.
5.2 Pressure Limiting The purpose of the programmed pressure limit is to protect the patient, the catheter, and any disposable device attached to the injector. As a general rule, set pressure limit no higher than the max pressure rating of the weakest component in the fluid path (tubing, stopcocks, connectors, catheters, administration sets, etc.). Max pressure rating examples for an example scenario: • • •
Tubing - 1200 psi Stopcock - 1050 psi Catheter - 1200 psi
In this case, set the pressure limit no higher than 1050 psi because anything higher could potentially cause the component to fail. Typical factors to consider and how they affect Pressure: Effects on Pressure Factors
Decrease Pressure
Increase Pressure
Fluid Viscosity
Low
High
Catheter and Tubing Length
Short
Long
Catheter ID
Large
Small
Consider the above factors when setting pressure limit to achieve the desired injection flow rate. Proper pressure limit setting optimizes the angiographic images. The injector applies the minimum pressure needed to achieve the programmed flow rate. If the pressure from the injector exceeds the programmed pressure limit, the system cannot achieve the flow rate and a Sentinel message displays. Pressure information can be found in the History tab.

Mark 7 Arterion Injection System
5.5 Display Control Unit The injection system Display Control Unit consists of a touch screen display. From the Display Control Unit, an operator can manage protocols, arm and disarm the injector, review injection history, set options, and view help topics.
Figure 5 - 2: Display Control Unit The injection system supports the connection of a second Display Control Unit. In a two Display Control Unit system, both Display Control Units have the same controls and functionality. Depending on operational situations, only one of the Display Control Units may be active at a time. For example, if an operator is entering a protocol on a Display Control Unit in the Control room, the system locks-out the Display Control Unit in the Scan room. See “6.6 Display Control Unit Lock-outs” for more information. For more information about the navigating through Display Control Unit screens, see Chapter 6 “Using and Understanding the Display Control Unit Screen”
5.5.1 Display Control Unit Sterile Sheath If the Display Control Unit will be used in the Sterile Field, a sheath such as the MEDRAD Display Control Unit Sheath (AVA 500 DCOV) should be used. See “16.6.5 Display Control Unit Sterile Sheath Installation.”
5.6 Injector Head The Injector Head has a handle that is used to rotate the head. The Injector Head position determines what functions are active and what values display on the Injector Head. The Injector Head keypad and Manual Knob can be used to fill and purge a syringe. A drop front allows operators to load syringes from the front. The Syringe Heat Maintainer clamps onto the Pressure Jacket and connects to the underside of the Injector Head and is designed to keep pre-warmed contrast in the syringe. For more information about the Injector Head or the Syringe Heat Maintainer, see Chapter 7 “Using and Understanding the Injector Head.”

System Overview
5.7 Power Unit The injection system Power Unit supplies power to the Injector Head and the Display Control Unit. As the main communications hub, the Power Unit provides system communications to all connected components. A green light illuminates when the Power Unit is on. The front plate on the Power Unit contains a serviceable air filter. For cleaning instructions, see Chapter 15 “Cleaning and Maintenance.”
5.8 Imaging System Interface The Imaging System Interface (ISI) allows the injection system to interface with an imaging system to provide synchronization of an injection and an X-ray exposure. To use ISI on the injection system, configure the system from the Display Control Unit Options tab. See Chapter 6“Using and Understanding the Display Control Unit Screen.” For more information on how ISI interacts with the injection system, see “11.3.5 Performing an Injection with Imaging System Interface.”
5.9 MEDRAD® VFlow™ MEDRAD® VFlow™ enables the use of Variable Flow Rate injections. In the Variable Flow Rate injection mode, the injector automatically re-arms after each injection. A Variable Flow Rate injection can be initiated by the Hand Controller and ranges from 1 - 10 mL/sec in increments of 0.1 mL/sec. Variable Flow Rate is intended for use in those procedures where low volumes are injected and Variable Flow Rate control is desired. The system has an option for receiving audible feedback when using the Hand Controller. The feedback indicates the flow rate. See “6.4 Options Tab” for instructions on how to enable MEDRAD® VFlow™.
5.10 Start Switches The injection system can be used with a hand switch, foot switch and/or hand controller. The switches allow the operator to initiate an injection. Single mL/s Hand switch Foot switch Hand Controller

5.10.2 MEDRAD® VFlow™ Hand Controller The MEDRAD® VFlow ™ Hand Controller is a sterile device intended for single patient use. The Hand Controller works in two different modes, Variable Flow Rate and Fixed Flow Rate. When in the Variable Flow Rate injection mode, the flow rate increases incrementally as the Hand Controller plunger (A) is depressed, and decreases as the Hand Controller is released. In the Fixed Flow Rate injection mode, the Hand Controller acts as a start switch, and release of the device ceases all flow.

Using and Understanding the Display Control Unit Screen The Display Control Unit touch screen has five tabs from which an operator can manage protocols, arm and disarm the injector, review injection history, set options, and view help topics. NOTE: An operator will be locked-out from a Display Control Unit if another operator is performing functions on the Injector Head or another Display Control Unit connected to the same system. The chapter discusses: • • • • • • •
"Home Tab" "Protocols Tab" "History Tab" "Options Tab" "Help Tab" "Display Control Unit Lock-outs" "Performing Touch Screen Calibration"
6.1 Home Tab Operators can set protocols, select the Single or Phased protocol, or arm the injector on the Home tab. This tab has a Programmed window (A), Actuals window (B), and Sentinel window (C). Each of these windows is discussed below.
Figure 6 - 1: Home Tab
6.1.1 Programmed Window The Programmed window displays the protocol parameters for an injection including Flow Rate, Volume, Pressure, Rise time (Rise Time is not listed for Variable Flow Rate or mL/m protocols), and Delay (Delay is not listed for phased and Variable Flow Rate or mL/m protocols). Operators can set Single mL/s and mL/m, Phased, and Variable Flow Rate protocols from the Programmed window. For more information, see “9.1 Set Protocols Parameters from the Home Tab.”

Mark 7 Arterion Injection System
6.1.2 Actuals Window The Actuals window displays Peak (maximum Flow Rate achieved), Delivered (actual total volume delivered), Total Contrast (total volume delivered for the current case), and the End Case button. An operator presses the End Case button after completing a patient procedure and before removing the disposables to retract the syringe plunger. This button also zeroes the Total Contrast and creates a new case entry on the History tab. For more information on cases, see “6.3 History Tab.”
6.1.3 Sentinel Window The Sentinel window displays system messages, such as “Rotate head down to arm”. The Sentinel window also displays the status of the last injection. The Sentinel window message flashes momentarily when the system cannot arm. A list of messages is available in Chapter 13 “System Messages.”
6.2 Protocols Tab Operators can store new protocols, recall stored protocols, and edit existing protocols on the Protocols tab. For information on how to manage protocols from the Protocols tab, see “9.2 Manage Protocols from the Protocols Tab.” NOTE:To set protocol parameters from the Home tab, see “9.1 Set Protocols Parameters from the Home Tab.”
6.3 History Tab The History tab shows a list of recent injections with date and time of the injection and the programmed parameters and actuals. Injections are grouped by case. Cases are reset when an operator selects the End Case button from the Home tab. For example, an operator may want to group all of the injections for one patient together. The operator performs all of the injections for a patient. The operator then selects the End Case button after the last injection has completed. The system groups all of the injections for that patient together. This group of injections can be retrieved from the History tab.
6.4 Options Tab Operators can modify system settings from the Options tab. A green LED displays beside the current setting for each option. When an operator changes a setting, the system adds an asterisk next to the option name to identify unconfirmed setting changes. To enable the new settings, select one of the other tabs, such as Home. A popup displays requesting confirmation for the new value. Select Yes to confirm the setting.

Using and Understanding the Injector Head
7.3 Syringe Interface The syringe interface supports a single 150 mL syringe. Operators can attach a syringe to the head from the front of the injector (front loading). The syringe locks into place when the drop front is fully closed. An operator can remove the syringe from the piston rod at any point within the normal travel of the piston by rotating the syringe 1/4 turn clockwise, while the Injector Head is powered on or off, and without removing the disposable set from the syringe.
7.3.1 Piston Auto Retract The Mark 7 Arterion Injection System has an auto retract option that automatically retracts the piston when the Injector Head is in the Purge position. Below are the two scenarios that describe how this feature functions when the Injector Head is in the Purge Position or in the Intermediate and Inject Positions (see “7.2 Injector Head Position” for a description of the positions). • •
Purge position - The operator lowers the drop front and removes the syringe. The Injector Head beeps three times and auto-retracts to the syringe ready position. Intermediate and Inject Positions - The operator lowers the drop front, removes the syringe, and rotates the Injector Head into the Purge (upright) position. The injector Head beeps three times and auto-retracts to the syringe ready position. NOTE: Press any key on the Injector Head to halt the auto retract. NOTE: Enable the auto retract feature from the Options tab. See “6.4 Options Tab” for more information.
7.4 Pressure Jacket The Mark 7 Arterion has a Pressure Jacket designed to hold the syringe in place and help to maintain syringe integrity during use.
Figure 7 - 3: Pressure Jacket The Pressure Jacket is manufactured from high impact resistant material; however, sharp impacts such as from dropping, may cause small barely visible cracks to form, which may propagate during subsequent pressure cycles.
7.4.1 Pressure Jacket Storage When not in use, the Pressure Jacket should remain securely attached to the Injector Head. Alternatively, the Pressure Jacket may be wrapped in a cloth and stored where it will not be hit or dropped. After each procedure, check the Pressure Jacket for contrast build up. For Pressure Jacket cleaning and maintenance, Chapter 15 “Cleaning and Maintenance.”
7.5 Injector Head Displays The Injector Head has two display areas. One area shows the programmed parameters for flow rate, volume, and pressure limit. The other area shows the volume remaining in the syringe.

7.5.1 Flow Rate (A) The flow rate displays the programmed rate. For Phased protocols, the Injector Head displays the values of the current phase. The flow rate displays in per second or per minute mode based on the protocol parameters. Operators can change the flow rate mode using the Options tab. See the “6.4 Options Tab” for more information.
7.5.2 Volume (B) The volume displays the programmed volume in milliliters. For Phased protocols, the Injector Head displays the values of the current phase.
7.5.3 Pressure Limit (C) The pressure limit indicates the maximum pressure that the system can use to inject contrast for the programmed protocol. The limit displays in either psi or kPa. To understand more about pressure limiting, see “5.3 Pressure Limiting” or the Display Control Unit Help Tab.
7.5.4 Volume Remaining (D) The volume remaining indicates the amount of contrast currently in the syringe.
7.6 Injector Head Controls The Injector Head Controls on the injection head display contain the Enable button, Enable Indicator, Fill Strip, and Auto-Fill button.

Using and Understanding the Injector Head
7.6.1 Enable Button (F) The Enable button activates the Fill Strip and Auto-Fill button. After pressing the Enable button, the Enable Indicator (G) illuminates and the Fill Strip and Auto-Fill button stay active while in use or for five seconds of inactivity.
7.6.2 Fill Strip (H) The Fill Strip allow operators to advance and retract the piston on the Injector Head. After pressing the Enable button, press the forward arrows (closest to syringe) to advance the piston, or press the reverse arrows (farthest from syringe) to retract the piston. The piston speed increases progressively as an operator presses the arrows farther away from the Enable button.
7.6.3 Auto-Fill Button (I) The Auto-Fill button fills the syringe with a user defined contrast volume and at a user defined speed. After pressing the Enable button, press the Auto-Fill button. Configure the volume and speed from the Options tab. See the “6.4 Options Tab.”
7.7 Armed Light The Armed Light (J) remains illuminated when the system is armed. The light flashes once every second when injecting

7.8 Manual Knob Use the Manual Knob (K) to manually advance or retract the piston. Turn the knob clockwise to advance the piston and counterclockwise to retract the piston.
Figure 7 - 6: Manual Knob
7.9 Syringe Heat Maintainer The Syringe Heat Maintainer clamps onto the Pressure Jacket and connects to the underside of the Injector Head and is designed to keep pre-warmed contrast in the syringe. For information on installing the Syringe Heat Maintainer, see the “16.6.1 Syringe Heat Maintainer Installation.”
7.10 Injector Head Lock-outs The Injector Head will be locked-out while an operator is accessing a Display Control Unit. LOC displays in the volume remaining. The Injector Head remains in lock-out until: 1. An operator finishes accessing the active Display Control Unit, and active Display Control Unit displays the Home tab, 2. or, an operator has accessed the active Display Control Unit and doesn’t do anything for a minute.

Figure 9 - 1: Set Single Protocol 2. 3. 4. 5.
NOTE: The displayed values are based on the last used protocol or the default values. Select the box corresponding to a parameter to change it. Use the numeric keypad to enter the protocol parameter. Commit the value by selecting Enter or another parameter. Select Delay. A numeric keypad displays with X-Ray and Inject buttons. a. Enter the delay time. Setting delay time to zero is equivalent to having no delay. b. Select X-Ray or Inject. c. Select Enter to commit the value.
NOTE: A programmed delay parameter only functions when using ISI. 6. Repeat steps 2-4 to change additional parameters.
9.1.2 Set Injection Parameters on Home Tab - Phased Phased Protocols have up to four different sets of flow rates and volumes for single continuous injection. Operators can enter up to four phases per protocol. The pressure limit remains consistent for each phase. NOTE: The initial rise time is dependent on the value the operator enters. The intraphase rise time is fixed. NOTE: If the Phased option is not visible, go to the Display Control Unit Options tab to enable Phased injections. See “6.4 Options Tab.” NOTE: ISI does not function with Phased protocols. 1. Select the Phased tab (A).

Setting and Managing Protocols
Figure 9 - 2: Set Phased Protocol From the Programmed window, operators can modify protocol parameters and existing phases, add phases, or delete phases. • To modify an existing phase, go to step 2. • To modify the pressure limit, rise time, or delay, go to step 3. • To add a phase, go to step 4. • To delete a phase, go to step 5. 2. To modify values for an existing Phase, select the Flow Rate or Volume to the right of the index number (B) for that phase. a. Select either Flow Rate or Volume. b. Use the numeric keypad to enter the protocol parameter. c. Commit the value by selecting Enter or another parameter. d. Repeat this step to change additional parameters. NOTE: When editing a phase, an operator cannot delete a phase. 3. Select Pressure Limit or Rise Time to change that parameter. a. Use the numeric keypad to enter the protocol parameter. b. Commit the value by selecting Enter or another parameter. 4. To add a phase, select the index number (C) for the phase directly below the last entered phase. A new phase is added with flow rate and volume both equal to “1”. a. In the new phase, select either Flow Rate or Volume. b. Use the numeric keypad to enter the protocol parameter. c. Commit the value by selecting Enter or another parameter. d. Repeat this step to add additional parameters. 5. To delete a phase, select the index number for the phase. If a lower numbered phase is deleted, the higher number remaining phases are renumbered. For example, in a three phase protocol, if Phase 1 is deleted, Phases 2 and 3 become Phases 1 and 2. NOTE: If values for only one phase exist, that phase cannot be deleted.
9.1.3 Set Injection Parameters on Home Tab - Variable Flow Rate A Variable Flow Rate protocol injects a set Volume of contrast at a Flow Rate determined by the Hand Controller. As an operator depresses the Hand Controller plunger, the system increases the Flow Rate until it reaches the maximum Flow Rate set by the operator.
