  • Extra notes in the data
    Injector and syringe, angiographic - Product Code DXT
  • Reason
    The root cause investigation showed that the under-volume hazard can occur when the unit has been configured to prime with contrast, but instead primes with saline due to the configuration data not being sent to the injector head. this may create a non-optimal priming condition that could lead to under-infusion.
