5.11. [Optional] DC200 Scanner Interface
The Imaging System Interface (DC200) is an option that allows the injector to interface with a CT scanner. It
obtains its power from the injector Remote Control Unit option USB port. It interacts with the injector and
scanner through direct cable connections. Once the DC200 Module is installed and configured on the injector
Remote Control Unit, it allows the scanner and injector to interact with each other and provide functionality as
outlined in this manual.
5.11.1. Overview
With the DC200 module installed, the injector system can function independently or coupled to the scanner.
Depending upon what mode of operation the scanner is in, this link can allow the scanner to automatically
request the initiation of an injection, or permit the injector to automatically request the initiation of a scanning
procedure.
Note: The scanner CANNOT override any injector operation that is considered safety critical; for
example, check for air, hold during an injection or stopping an injection.
Note: The scanner manufacturer and/or user must make the final determination of the mode of
operation for the coupled injector and scanner. The scanner manufacturer is responsible for providing
operation instructions for their system.
