MRI contrast medium injection system, line-powered, mobile
Definition
An assembly of devices designed to inject contrast media through a small catheter and into the vascular system for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures (e.g., spine, head, gastrointestinal, or vascular diagnostic procedures using MRI). It consists of mains electricity (AC-powered) electromechanical injectors (e.g., syringe piston drivers, tubing roller pumps) capable of delivering media with the pressure, flow range, and volume required for MRI studies, and is mobile. It may interface with the MRI system or a monitoring device to control timing of contrast injections; it is made entirely of non-ferromagnetically active materials for MRI compatiblity.
