2) Do not unplug the power cord with wet hands. It could cause electrical
shock.
3) Never remove the housing. Electrical shock may occur if you touch the
inside.
4) Do not fabricate, forcefully bend/twist/pull, apply heat to the power cord,
put anything heavy on the power cord or place the unit on top of the power
cord. If the cord is damaged, please have it replaced. It could cause fire or
electric shock.
5) Before use, ensure the status of a stopcock of the injection route surely.
Injection with a stopper closed may damage the syringe.
6) Pressure limit should not exceed the tolerable pressure* for the syringe and
injection route.
* For tolerable pressure limit for the syringe and injection circuit, see the Operation
Manuals for the syringe and injection route.
7) In the condition or injection route set for extreme pressure increase, pressure
may transiently exceed the pressure limit.
8) For prevention of accidents (injection of air, reuse of a syringe, etc.) to be
caused by forgetting replacement of a used syringe, make sure that a backward key is operated after the syringe is removed.
9㧕If contrast medium or physiological saline is leaked into the system, turn off
the power switch of the system and remove a power code plug from an
outlet, and call our support center. Continued use at such condition may

ޓ
ޓAppropriate Consumables
This system is used to inject the contrast medium at a set flow rate for a
CT diagnosis.
Do not use this unit for any purpose other than the above.
There may be strong pressure during the injecting process which is
caused by the high viscosity of the contrast media. Please use a
syringe, a lock-type extension tube and a needle that have the
appropriate pressure endurances.
