One Medrad Drive Indianola, PA 15051-0780 (412) 767-2400 ## . Technical Description: Device Description: The Medrad EnVision CT Injection System is a modified version of the EnVision CT Injector (K934086). It has the same indications for use and the same intended use as the predicate device. No changes to the fundamental scientific technology were made nor are any new risks introduced by this modification. The EnVision CT Injection System is a programmable syringe-based fluid delivery system for delivery of contrast media during computed tomography procedures. Programming is achieved via a touch screen LCD display. No advanced scientific principles beyond those normally associated with electro-mechanical devices are employed. The EnVision CT Injector is comprised of the three main components - Master Control Unit (MCU), Display Control Unit (DCU), Injector Head (HCU). The Medrad EnVision CT Injector System, like the predicate EnVision CT Injector System, uses a 125ml and 200ml Front Load Sterile Disposable Syringe. The only difference is that the modified Injector accommodates the use of an alternate 200ml contrast pre-filled syringe, and it now has an Imaging System Interface - Master Control Unit (MCU) is the "center" of the EnVision CT Injector System. Contained . within the MCU is the microprocessor, system power supply, and ancillary ports for service access. Power comes into the MCU and is distributed to the remaining units. The DCU and Injector Head are connected to the MCU through various cabling. The MCU gathers information from the DCU and HCU, interprets the information, executes the injection, controls the head's plunger piston motor, and monitors injection feedback from the HCU. The microprocessor processes key and display information to and from the DCU, and stores and retrieves injection program and panel information from the user. It processes commands and formats data for the service port, monitors vital system status information and communications, and interacts with external imaging interfaces. It also controls the operation of an optional Remote DCU. - Display Control Unit (DCU) (primary) The is the main user interface and is controlled by a microprocessor. It is the main point of user data entry and display feedback data display. components but keeps power supplied to all system microprocessors. The only change is that it now contains software for the imaging system interface. (See description below) Image /page/0/Picture/13 description: The image shows a large, stylized letter Q in black against a white background. The letter is bold and slightly tilted, giving it a dynamic appearance. Below the Q, there are some blurred lines of text, which are illegible due to the image quality. The overall composition is simple, focusing on the prominent letter and its design. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/0 description: The image shows the word "medrad" in a bold, sans-serif font. The letters are all in lowercase, except for the "d", which is in uppercase. There is a registered trademark symbol to the right of the "d". The word is black and the background is white. - Remote Monitor (a.k.a. Intelligent Hand Unit) The purpose of the Remote Monitor is to allow . the operator to interact with the Injector Head without being near the Head. It permits the operator to view two phases of the injector's programmed parameters and to control the iniector's Start/Hold and Disarm functions. The Remote Monitor provides LED readouts to display Scan Delay, Injected Volume, Injection Duration, Phase, Flow Rate, and Volume information. It connects to the System Power Unit by means of an integral cord set. It can be placed up to 100 feet from the System Power Unit. The Remote Monitor has essentially been unchanged from the predicate device. The only chanqe is that it now contains software for the imaging system interface. (See description below) - . Manual Startswitch - A hand-held push button handswitch, connected to the Injector Head via a cable, allows the operator to initiate, suspend, or resume a programmed injection. - . Imaging System Interface (ISI) - (Also known as Autolink) A small printed circuit board (pcb) that resides in the System Power Unit. The pcb acts as an interconnect card for the Injector Head and Remote Monitor, and provides an isolated interface connection between the Iniector and CT Scanner. There is one input and one output to the operator. The input is composed of two signal lines and the output has three signal lines. All signal lines are fully isolated in order to provide protection to the Injector and CT Scanner. Physical connection to the CT Scanner is via a DB25 connector. The ISI pcb is controlled by the Remote Controller. An Injector System Interface software module was added to the Remote Controller software to effect this function. The Injector System Interface module receives inputs from CT Scanner which are used to initiate or stop an injection. It also controls outputs to the CT Scanner which are used to activate a scan. Throughout its processing, the Imaging System Interface software verifies the functionality of all input and output signals #### Functional Features: Except for the change to the Syringe Sensing and the addition of the Imaging System Interface. functionality has not changed. The following is a summary of the Injector's specifications. - Program The user can program the injector with the following injection parameters: fluid volume, flow rate, injection duration, pause or pause/KVO, and scan delay. - The user can program a sequence of one or more program phases, up to a Injection Profile maximum of 10, in which each phase delivers fluid according to the program parameters defined for that phase. - Pause A command which can be programmed into the injection profile which causes the injector to stop for a programmed interval between phases. The pause duration can be set from 1 second to 10 minutes in one second increments. - Pause/KVO Keep Vein Open (KVO) is an option that the user can specify for any PAUSE programmed into the injection profile. KVO causes the injection of fluid at a low average flow rate to keep the vein at the catheter site from clotting during a programmed "Pause". The KVO flow can be continuous or intermittent with an average flow rate of .01 ml/sec. - Hold "Hold" allows the user to temporarily interrupt an injection. When the user enables the "Hold" function, the system remains armed, but the injection stops until the user cancels the hold function, whereupon the injection resumes from the point at which it was interrupted. The injector will remain in the "Hold" condition for a maximum of ten minutes, after which the unit disarms. Image /page/1/Picture/11 description: The image shows a logo with a stylized letter 'Q' in bold, black font. Below the 'Q', the words 'Quality' and 'Life' are stacked vertically in a smaller, less bold font. The overall design is simple and conveys a sense of quality and well-being. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows the word "MEDRAD" in a stylized, bold, black font. The letters are slanted to the right, giving the word a dynamic appearance. A small registered trademark symbol is visible to the right of the word. Scan Delav "Scan Delay" is a function that the user can program into the injection profile to initiate a scan by a CT machine that has been properly connected to the Envision CT's relay closure. The "Scan Delay" interval beains simultaneously with the first phase of the injection profile. The interval duration can be set from 0 seconds to 99 seconds. A visible "Scan Delay" countdown clock, which shows the time remaining in 1 second increments, is located on the DCU. When the countdown clock reaches 0 an audible beep alerts the user. "Autofill" allows the user to load a specified amount of fluid into a svringe by Autofill "actuating a control or the Injector Head. "Once the "Autoffil" control is activated the head will load the specified amount of fluid into the svringe without further operator interaction The user may select volumes of 25, 50, 75, 100. 125, 150, 175, or 200 depending on the syringe size used. The range for the user selectable fill rate is 2ml/sec to 9.9ml/sec. The Autofill feature is non-functional when an alternate 200ml contrast prefilled svringe is installed. Single/Multi Arm The user can select one of two arming modes. "Single arm" allows the execution of a single injection profile after pressing the start switch. After the programmed injection has been completed, the unit disarms. "Multiple Arm" allows the programmed iniection to be repeated without re-arming the injector. After completing its programmed injection, the injector remains in the armed state. The user can press the Start switch again to repeat the same programmed injection Repeated activation of the Start switch will deliver the programmed injection until there is insufficient contrast media in the syringe to complete a full injection. At this point, the iniector will inform the user that there is insufficient yolume for another injection. "Syringe Sensing" is a system on the injector head that determines which of the Syringe Sensing three compatible syringe sizes (125ml, 200ml or an alternate 200ml contrast prefilled syringe) is installed on the injector head, and also senses whether or not the syringe has been installed properly. The injector head "reads" coded slots molded into the flange of the syringe which tell the injector what size syringe has been installed. After determining the size of the syringe that has been installed, the injector adjusts its pressure, volume and flow characteristics accordingly. If the syringe has not been properly installed, the injector issues an error message on the DCU alerting the user that the syringe is not correctiv installed. Syringe Heater The Syringe heater maintains the temperature of preheated contrast medium within the syringe while the syringe is attached to the Injector. The heater operating temperature is 87.8° to 105.8° F. Safety Stop All critical system functions are continuously monitored during an injection to insure that the actual injection values do not deviate from the programmed values beyond a specified limit. A microprocessor in the MCU and HCU constantly monitors the electrical functions of the injector system. The HCU monitors for over volume and over flow rate, and the MCU monitors for over volume and over flow rate, as well as pressure/stall and over-pressure. When the backup monitoring system detects one of these conditions, it will open a relay in the HCU to cut power to the piston motor and the injector system is placed in a maintenance state.
