Indications for Use
The Medrad Stellant CT Injector System is intended for the specific purpose of injecting intravenous contrast media into humans for diagnostic studies in computed tomography (CT) applications.
Device Story
The Medrad Stellant CT Injector System is a syringe-based fluid delivery system used in clinical settings to inject contrast media into the human vascular system for CT imaging. The system consists of an injector head, a display control unit, and sterile disposables. It supports single or dual syringe configurations. Operators program injection parameters—including flow rate, volume, and pressure limits—via a touch-screen interface. The device features automated functions such as syringe loading, docking, retraction, and advancement. During operation, the system monitors pressure and flow, providing real-time feedback via a pressure graph and numeric/graphical volume readouts on a color LCD. A multi-layered software safety system with backup monitoring ensures controlled delivery. The device benefits patients by enabling precise, automated contrast administration, which is essential for high-quality diagnostic CT scans. It is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data was required or provided. Design verification and validation testing were conducted to confirm that the device meets design specifications and applicable international standards.
Technological Characteristics
Syringe-based fluid delivery system. Materials: PET (syringe barrel), Polycarbonate (plunger, T-connector), Polyisoprene with silicone coating (plunger cover), PVC (tubing), ABS (spike), Polyethylene (priming tube). Luer fittings compliant with ISO 594-1 & ISO 594-2. Features color LCD touch screen, multi-phase injection (1-6 phases), and automated syringe handling. Sterilization: EtO. Connectivity: Standalone system with remote start/check capabilities. Software-based safety monitoring with multi-layered stops.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the injection of intravenous contrast media into the human vascular system for diagnostic computed tomography (CT) studies. For prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a non-patient contacting balloon inflation syringe intended only to inflate/deflate balloon catheters and monitor pressure within the balloon, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

The Medrad Stellant CT Injector System maintains the same intended use, similar operational 2) 767-2400 parameters, similar labeling and is used in a manner similar to the predicate device.
> Like the EnVision, the Stellant is a syringe-based fluid delivery system indicated for delivery of contrast media during computed tomography procedures. It is intended to be used for the specific purpose of injecting intravenous contrast medium into the human vascular system for computed tomography studies.
The Stellant CT Injector System is comprised of the same main components as the predicate device: an Injector Head, a Display Control Unit, and sterile disposables.
Medrad has established, as part of its Quality System, design controls in compliance with FDA's Quality System Regulations (QSRs). These design controls are applied to all Medrad product development processes and product design changes. These design controls were applied to the development of the Stellant CT Injector and meet the requirements of the FDA's QSRs.
As part of the design control a risk analysis was performed, and design verification and validation testing was conducted to support the conclusion drawn by the risk analysis.
Test results demonstrate that the design specifications for the Stellant CT Injector System were met and that the Stellant CT Injector System meets the applicable requirements of the international standards cited. Therefore, it has been determined that the Stellant CT Injection is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, its predecessor, for its intended use when used as prescribed in the User Operation Manual.
A comparison of features and principles of operation between the proposed device and predicate device is provided in the table below.
