USER QUALIFICATION
CAUTION!
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
SYSTEM FEATURES
VERSATILITY
The injector is microprocessor-controlled and can perform injections
within the following variable parameters:
• Flow Rate
• Volume
• Pressure Limit
• Injection Delay
INTERACTION
The operator interacts with the system by responding to prompts that
appear in the Console Display through use of eight touch screen keys.
SAFETY FEATURES
The CT 9000 ADV has been designed to enhance the safety of both pa-
tient and operator. Specific safety features of the injector include:
DUAL MICROPROCESSOR
The CT 9000's dual microprocessor design provides extensive safety fea-
tures. When the unit is switched "ON," it automatically performs a series
of power-up tests to monitor the status of all injector systems. If the mi-
croprocessor detects any errors during power-up, an appropriate mes-
sage will appear in the system display. Also, during injection, all critical
injector functions are constantly checked and re-checked. If a fault is
detected, the system will automatically shut down and the appropriate
message will appear in the system display.
AIR EMBOLISM
HAZARD CHECK
The danger of air embolism is always present when dealing with viscous
contrast media. The enabling sequence for the CT 9000 ADV will prompt
the operator to check for air and the correct syringe size before an injec-
tion is delivered with the following message on the system display:
Have you evacuated all air from the XXXml syringe and tubing?
The operator should then verify that the syringe has been evacuated of
any entrapped air before proceeding.
START/STOP KEY ON
POWERHEAD
Because the powerhead is near the patient during an injection, the
[Start/Stop] key is integrated into the powerhead for quickly starting or
stopping an injection.
NOTE: Once an injection has been started, pressing any key on the
powerhead will stop the injection.
POSITIVE POSITIONING
OF POWERHEAD
A pre-set friction device in the mounting knuckle holds the Powerhead
in the desired position during injection.
WARNING!
Collision with other equipment can cause structural failure of suspension
arm, resulting in operator or patient injury. Visually inspect the J-Bow Arm,
be sure all fasteners are secure. Observe system for cracks or defects. Check
the suspension arm for movement. If defects are observed or adjustment is
required, immediately contact your authorized service personnel.

Powerhead Keyboard
[Forward] Key
This key is used to advance the plunger into the Syringe. Hold down the
[Forward] key while momentarily tapping one of the [Fast] keys. Holding
the [Forward] key down after the plunger has been activated will cause
the Syringe Ram to advance into the Syringe at a rate of 2 to 3 ml per
second. Tapping one of the [Fast] keys again will increase the speed of
the plunger.
NOTE: When you are using either the 100 ml or 200 ml pushrod face-
plate, continually pressing the [Fast] key in conjunction with pressing
the [Forward] key will latch plunger movement at an approximate speed
of 15 ml per second. When the scrolling dash marks on the syringe size
indicator are replaced by the syringe size value, the plunger movement
will latch "ON". You will no longer need to press the [Forward] key to
move the plunger. Latched plunger movement will automatically stop
when the plunger reaches 0 ml. To stop “latched” plunger movement,
press any key on the Powerhead.
NOTE: When using faceplates other than the 100 ml or 200 ml pushrod
faceplate, releasing the [Forward] key when the position of the ram is
greater than 5 ml will stop plunger movement. If the [Forward] key is
released when the ram position is 5 ml or less, the ram will continue to
travel until it reaches its fully extended position.
[Reverse] Key
This key is used to withdraw the ram back into the Powerhead. Hold
down the [Reverse] key while momentarily tapping one of the [Fast]
keys. Holding the [Reverse] key down after the plunger has been acti-
vated will cause the plunger to withdraw back into the Powerhead at
a rate of 2 to 3 ml per second. Tapping one of the [Fast] keys again will
increase the speed of the plunger.
While the faceplate is in the closed position, you may turn and hold the
Manual knob counterclockwise to retract the plunger if needed.
[Fast] Keys
These three keys are used to increase the speed of operation of the Sy-
ringe Ram when using either the [Forward] or [Reverse] key.
[Start/Stop] Key
This key is functionally interchangeable with both the [Stop] keys and
the [Start] key on the Control Console and the optional Handswitch.
Pressing this key will start an enabled injection or stop and restart an
injection.
NOTE: Once in the Auto-Fill Mode, pressing any key other than the [Re-
verse] or [Fast] key will bring the Powerhead out of the Auto-Fill Mode.
When the Auto-Fill Mode is active, this key can be used to set a specific
fill volume for the syringe. The pre-selected volume value will be dis-
mL played on the Volume Indicator. Momentarily tap the [Auto-Fill Volume]
key to decrement the pre-selected syringe volume by 5 ml. Press and
continue to hold the [Auto-Fill Volume] key to quickly scroll through the
possible pre-selected volumes.
NOTE: The [Auto-Fill Volume] key may be used to set a fill volume with
either an empty or partially filled syringe installed. However, it is not
possible to set the fill volume to a value greater than the actual remain-
ing syringe volume.
Volume Indicator
The Volume Indicator displays the volume remaining in the syringe in
real-time. Additionally, when the Powerhead is in the AutoFill Mode, the
Volume Indicator displays pre-selected volumes.
The Syringe Size Indicator will display scrolling dash marks when the
ram speed is less than maximum. When maximum speed is achieved,
mL
the indicator will display the current syringe size being used.

Press the [Start/Stop] keys on the Powerhead once to immediately stop
an injection. Refer to Figure 5-3-7.
NOTE: Once an injection has been started, pressing any key on the
powerhead will stop the injection.
CONSOLE
Refer to Figure 5-3-8. Pressing any key on the console will "Stop" the
injector. All eight keys provide a signal to software to Stop (Pause) an
injection. The bottom key additionally is hardwired to the main micro-
processor to stop an injection. Due to its redundant nature, the bottom
key should be considered the "Primary" Stop key.
To restart the injection, press either the [Start/Stop] key on the
Powerhead, the [Start] key on the Console or the Remote Handswitch.
REMOTE HANDSWITCH
If using a Remote Handswitch, fully press down once to immediately
stop an injection. To restart the injection, press either the [Start/Stop]
key on the Powerhead, the [Start] key on the Console or the Remote
Handswitch.
As shown in the previous section, any key on the Powerhead and the
[Stop] keys on the Console and the Remote Handswitch can all be used
to pause or stop an injection. These keys are recommended to be used
to stop an injection in the case of an emergency.

A 200 ml Front Loading syringe is designed to fit into the mating pres-
sure sleeve. This syringe contains an umbrella cap that secures onto the
pressure sleeve and allows for aseptic insertion of the syringe into the
pressure sleeve. Both sleeve and syringe are translucent to permit easy
visual inspection of the remaining volume.
NOTE: If you lock the syringe in place while the ram is positioned at 10
ml or less, the injector will automatically move the ram to its fully ex-
tended position.
3
Lock the syringe into place by either turning the Pressure Plate lever to
the Lock position or by rotating the umbrella cap clockwise until the
load arrows align as shown. If the lever cannot be moved to the Lock po-
sition, make sure the Load Arrows are aligned properly, then gently
push down on the umbrella cap. The lever should now lock easily

UMBRELLA CAP
LOAD
ARROWS
NOTE: Preheating the contrast medium will help in the removal of air
bubble.
3 Using aseptic technique, slide the end of the shorter section of the fill
tube over the syringe tip. DO NOT TOUCH THE TIP. Place the end of the
longer section of the fill tube into the container of contrast media. To
keep aeration to a minimum, verify that this end of the tube is in the
medium and is NOT drawing air.
AutoFill Technique
Activate the AutoFill mode and establish a pre-selected syringe volume
(See definitions for [Auto-Fill Mode] and [Auto-Fill Volume] keys in Chap-
ter 3).
NOTE: When using the AutoFill Technique, add an extra 5 ml to 10 ml to
the desired syringe volume (i.e., pre-selected syringe volume) to com-
pensate for volume losses due to tubing volume and mechanical toler-
ances inherent to the injector.
Once an AutoFill syringe volume has been established, press and release
the Reverse key and the Fast key simultaneously. The syringe plunger
will automatically draw the pre-selected volume of contrast medium
into the syringe. Press the Forward key and tap the Fast key to expel air
from the syringe or use the instructions contained in the Section—Re-
moving Air Bubbles from the Syringe. Filling the syringe too fast will cause
undesired aeration of the contrast.
6 Attach extension tube, remove air by either pressing the Forward key or

7 Secure extension tube in the slot of the pressure plate lever until ready
for use. Refer to Figure 5-4-5. Just prior to injection, the Powerhead must
be rotated so that the syringe is below horizontal with the syringe tip
pointing downward throughout the actual injection.

Air bubbles entrapped in contrast media that has been drawn into a
syringe MUST be removed to prevent injection of an air embolism into
the patient. Such bubbles may be most readily removed by performing
the following.
2 Draw an extra 20 cc of air into the syringe to form an air pocket; this will
provide a "washing action" for removing air bubbles. Wait for any air
bubbles entrapped in the contrast to rise to the top (outlet end of the
syringe).
3 Slowly rotate the powerhead through an 150° arc once or twice to allow
the air pocket to pick up the air bubbles on the sides of the syringe. Re-
fer to Figure 5-4-6. To dislodge any stubborn air bubbles, tap the syringe
with the heel of the hand.
CAUTION! DO NOT STRIKE THE HEATER BLANKET!
Do not strike the heater blanket when dislodging air bubbles. Irreparable
damage to the heater blanket can occur. Remove the heater blanket prior to
dislodging air bubbles.

Advance the plunger to remove the air pocket from the syringe by ei-
ther pressing and holding the Forward key while tapping the Fast key or
by slowly rotating the manual control knob clockwise

WARNING: The CT 9000 ADV Contrast Delivery System should not be used
adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, the CT 9000 ADV Injector should be observed to verify normal
operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
WARNING: Only cabling listed in this document can be used with the CT
9000 ADV equipment. Failure to follow this warning could result in equip-
ment damage.

Recommended separation
distances
d = 2.3 P
(800 MHz to 2.5 GHz)
Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: Three guidelines may apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by aborption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radios (cellular/cordless) telephones and land
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM, FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site
survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the "CT 9000 ADV" is used
exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the "CT 9000 ADV" should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting
or relocating the "CT 9000 ADV".
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m
