2. Remove the connector tube from the package. Remove the proximal-end (orange) dust cover.
3. Attach the connector tube to the syringe, ¼ turn to ½ turn maximum.
4. Once secured, verify that the tubing is not kinked or obstructed.
5. [Dual only] If you are using a connector tube with a T-connector,
attach the straight portion of the T-
connector to the contrast
(Syringe A) and the extension to the saline (Syringe B). If the T-
connector is connected to Syringe B, priming will not completely
fill the connector tubing.
6. Ensure all air is purged from the connector tube using
7. Rotate the injector head downward.

5.6. Dismounting a Syringe
1. After the procedure has been completed, disconnect the disposable tubing set from the vascular entry
device. The disposable tubing set does not need to be disconnected from the syringe.
2. Rotate the syringe approximately ¼ turn counter-clockwise and gently pull the syringe out of the
injector head, discarding the syringe with disposable tubing set.
Note: Patency check through aspiration using the injector is not possible when using a check valve on the
end of the connector tube. If aspiration is important, remove the check valve from the connector tube and
directly connect the connector tube to the catheter.
Note: In order to remove the syringe, the last piston motion must be in the forward direction, which is
typical. If you cannot remove the syringe, press to retract, then repeat Step 2.
