Salient Operation Manual
♦ Line voltage hazard. To avoid dangerous voltages, do not remove the IEC connector (base cable)
while line power is applied to the injector. Always disconnect the injector from line power before
removing the IEC power connector.
♦ Do not position the injector pedestal by pulling on the injector head, display or cabling. Possible
injury can occur if the injector head or stand falls on the patient or technician. Move the injector by
grasping the handle and pulling or pushing the pedestal into place.
♦ Pinch hazard. Do not grasp any pivot points. Position the injector head by grasping the head alone.
♦ Operator injury may result if excessive weight is applied to the device. Do not place heavy objects
or lean on the arm, injector head, or handles.
♦ Operator injury may result from bottles falling from tray. Do not place bottles on top of tray.
Ensure that the bottles are placed in the recesses provided.
♦ Operator injury may result during the transport of the injector. Care should be used when
transporting the injector. Ensure that the arm is properly secured in the locked position.
♦ Operator or patient injury may result from inadvertent movement of the arm or injector head.
Periodically examine the articulating arm for signs of swaying and drooping. If any of these signs are
evident, do not use the injector. Contact your local Imaxeon Service Representative for assistance.
♦ For correct operation, use only accessories and options provided by Imaxeon, which are designed
specifically for the injector. Other accessories or options may cause equipment damage.
♦ Improper or careless cleaning methods may result in equipment damage. When cleaning any
outside surface of the injector, avoid allowing any water or cleaning solutions to leak inside system
components.
♦ Stall conditions can occur when a low flow rate is selected in conjunction with a low-pressure
limit. Check the fluid path for a blockage. If no blockage exists in the fluid path, adjustments may be
made to the flow rate or pressure limit according to physician’s orders.
♦ Electrical damage could occur due to condensation if the injector is brought indoors from extreme
outside temperatures and immediately used. Allow the injector to stabilize at room temperature before
use.
♦ Connect to correct line voltage and frequency. Before applying line power, check the voltage and
frequency range marked on the serial number tag on the base of the injector. The injector may be
damaged when line power is outside the stated voltage range. Verify that the injector has the proper
cord set for the plug style.
♦ Provide sufficient clearance around the injector. This may cause the injector to overheat and shut
down. Installation clearance should be a minimum of 10cm.
♦ This device contains materials that are potentially hazardous to the environment. In
accordance with the DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE
COUNCIL on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the injector system and accessories
should not be disposed as unsorted municipal waste. Contact your Imaxeon Service Representative for
disposal details.
♦ Remove power when disconnecting or reconnecting head cable. Disconnecting the head cable from
the injector pedestal when line power is applied may cause equipment damage.
♦ Battery replacement. The injector batteries should be replaced only by suitably qualified service
technicians. Replacement should not be attempted by users or their (untrained) service personnel. See
Section 6.2 for more details. The battery in the remote control can be changed by users. See Section
6.2.2.
♦ Battery pack disposal. The injector contains lead acid batteries housed in a custom pack. Please
dispose of this pack within environmental pollution guidelines depending on your local regulations.
♦ BATTERY STORAGE If the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time (more
than two weeks), the battery should be removed from the remote control.
