Salient Operation Manual
5.4. [Optional] Off-line Filling
Contrast can be filled off-line using the
optional manually-operated Off-line
Loader (MDL001). This
can improve
the workflow by freeing the injector to
continue with other procedures.
With the loader lever in the down
position, mount a new syringe into the
loader and twist a ¼ of a turn to lock it
into place.
Place the quick fill tube on the tip of the
syringe, being careful not to touch the
ends of the tube or the syringe to avoid
contamination
Lift the lever to move the piston up the syringe
Insert fill tube into the contrast bottle and slowly draw down the lever to fill the
syringe to the de
sired level, avoiding introducing bubbles into the syringe.
Remove and discard the quick fill tube.
To dismount the filled syringe from the Loader, the piston should be moved
upwards slightly and then down to disengage from the syringe plunger.
3
Twist the disengaged syringe ¼ turn and gently pull out of the Loader.
Mount the filled syringe into the injector. Press the button on the injector.
The injector will automatically detect the filled syringe and will be ready to
perform an injection (see section 5.7)
5.5. Connector Tube Installation
1. Ensure all air is purged from the syringe.
3
If the syringe is completely full, moving the piston upwards may eject some contrast. In this situation, turn the syringe a ¼ turn and
lift up with the piston engaged. The syringe can then be disengaged without moving the syringe plunger.
