Intended Use
The Premica™-CT Contrast Media Delivery System is indicated for the controlled automatic administration, on the venous side, of contrast media (CM) for computed tomography scan. The System consists of the Premica™-CT instrument, the Bottle Spike, the Day Set, the Patient Set, and accessories. The System is not intended for injection of CM for coronary arteriography, or for any other use for which the device is not indicated. The Premica™-CT Contrast Media Delivery System is not intended for use with children under 16 years of age.
Device Story
Automatic injector for contrast media (CM) used in CT imaging; operated by clinicians in clinical settings. System components: pump console, remote control panel, handswitch, bottle insulators, and disposables (Bottle Spike, Day Set, Patient Set). Device delivers CM at controlled flow rates (0.2–9.9 ml/s) and volumes (up to 300 ml). Features include air and pressure sensors for safety, saline flush capability, and multi-patient CM reservoir usage. Software prevents reuse of disposables via physical design (break-off spike) and electronic control. Healthcare providers use the remote panel to program injection protocols (up to 100 protocols of 2 phases each) and monitor delivery. Benefits include automated, precise CM administration and reduced risk of cross-contamination through validated disposable design.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing, including bacteriological studies demonstrating that the system does not introduce microbial contamination during normal operation and that retrograde migration of microorganisms is limited to the distal end of the Patient Set, preventing cross-contamination.
Technological Characteristics
Automatic contrast media injector. Components: pump, remote panel, handswitch, bottle insulators. Flow rate: 0.2–9.9 ml/s. Pressure limit: 8 bar. Features: air/pressure sensors, saline flush, multi-phase injection (up to 2 phases). Disposables: Bottle Spike, Day Set, Patient Set. Software-controlled protocol management and disposable reuse prevention.
Indications for Use
Indicated for controlled automatic venous administration of contrast media for CT scans in patients 16 years of age and older. Contraindicated for coronary arteriography or other non-indicated uses.
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 major differences between the two systems are the ability of the Premica™-CT to be used for multiple patients without changing the reservoir of contrast medium, and System design which prevents disposables reuse. Nycomed Amersham Imaging has conducted testing to demonstrate that these differences do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness. Bacteriological testing demonstrates that
{3}------------------------------------------------
normal use of the disposables of the Premica™-CT System does not introduce Sets are not susceptible to microbial contamination into the contrast. contamination when the System is used according to instructions for normal operation. Studies also demonstrate that the risk of cross contamination from an infected patient is negligible since the retrograde migration of the microorganisms and viruses was limited solely to the distal end of the Patient Set. The design of the Bottle Spike prevents re-use since the tip breaks off within the bottle upon Spike removal. Software control prevents re-use of the Day Set and Patient Set, past their intended durations of use. Validation activities demonstrate that the System fulfills this specification.
Nycomed Amersham Imaging believes that the information provided within this premarket notification and summarized above demonstrates that the Premica™-CT Contrast Media Delivery System is substantially equivalent to the MEDRAD® ENVISION CT™ Injector System. Testing demonstrates that the procedural difference, specifically multiple dose versus single dose, is safe and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.
