Warnings
• Patient or operator injury may result if package is opened
or damaged, or if damaged components are used.
Visually inspect contents and package before each use.
• Use of non-Bayer supplied accessories, external
components, and replacement parts for internal
components may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity for the equipment or system. Use
only Bayer supplied accessories and replacement parts.
Caution
• Component damage may occur if not installed properly.
Assure all connections are secure; do not overtighten.
This will help minimize leaks, disconnections, and
component damage.
NOTE: Refer to the injector operation manual for additional information
about the system.
Contrast injections may be initiated by the optional Footswitch.
This device can only be used in the fixed rate injection mode.
The Footswitch does not support the variable rate injection mode.
A fixed rate injection is initiated when the Footswitch is depressed and
stops the injection when released. IP68 as per IEC 60529 indicates
that the Footswitch is dust-tight and protected against ingress of water
(continuous immersion).
NOTE: The system is designed to ensure that once an injection is
initiated by an injection device, no other injection device input will be
acknowledged while that injection is in progress.
