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.
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:

Fluid ViscosityLowHigh
Catheter and
Tubing Length
Catheter IDLargeSmall
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.

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.
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"
Figure 5 - 2: Display Control Unit
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 Display Control Unit
Sheath (AVA 500 DCOV) from Bayer 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".
