6. Cleaning and Maintenance
6.1. General Cleaning Procedures
The injector should be switched off and disconnected from the mains supply before cleaning. The covers and
external parts of the injector should be cleaned using warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaning aids, solvents or alcohol wipes.
X-Ray contrast tends to dry quite hard and hence should be wiped off as soon as possible.
Should the syringe piston engaging mechanism may become coated in dried and hardened contrast agent over
time, clean as follows:
Press with no syringe mounted in the bayonet fitting. The piston
will extend fully and stop.
With a clean, warm, damp (not wet) cloth, wipe off dried contrast in
and around the piston head.
6.1.1. [RCU models] Cleaning the RCU
Clean the RCU tablet with a dry cloth. Do not allow water or cleaning fluid to enter the RCU tablet enclosure.
