Read this First!

Before using the EmpowerCTA®+ (hereafter also referred to as ‘CTA+’) Injector
System, please read this entire section and be certain you understand it fully.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury to the patient, to the user, or may
result in damage to the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector system or other equipment. If
you have any questions after reading this section, please contact Bracco
Injeneering Technical Services.
The following warnings refer to hazards that can cause serious injury or death. Read this
section carefully.
 The sole purpose of the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System is to
intravenously administer iodinated Contrast solutions followed by
Saline into human patients who are undergoing diagnostic exams for
Computed Tomography. It is not intended for any other use. DO NOT
use this equipment for any application other than its expressed
purpose.
 When operating with the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System, you must
put only Contrast in the Contrast syringe and Saline in the Saline
syringe. Failure to do so may lead to inadequate diagnostic results
and potential injury to the patient.
 This equipment is not for use in chemotherapy, drug infusion, or any
other application for which it is not indicated.
 The EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System must be used properly to
prevent the risk of an air embolism. Always fill the syringe with the
Injector pointing fully upward. When the syringe has been filled to the
desired volume, all the air should be purged from the syringe and
coiled tubing with the Injector still in the fully vertical position. Failure
to do so may lead to serious injury and /or death.
 Never use the slow reverse, fast forward or fast reverse buttons on
the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System (i.e., the buttons with downward
and upward arrows shown above them), nor the Replace Syringe
button on the Injector System, while the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector
System is connected to the patient.
 In the event of a system malfunction, immediately turn off the
EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System and quickly disconnect the patient
from the unit. Confirm that the system malfunction has been repaired
before reconnecting the patient. Turn the system on, arm the Injector
and perform a test injection. If the system shows no further
malfunction, reconnect the patient. If a fault message still exists and
cannot be corrected and/or the Injector is still malfunctioning,
DISCONTINUE USE of the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System until the
problem is properly identified and solved. Contact your regional
service provider for further assistance.
 Exercise extreme caution when setting the flow rate on the Remote
Control and/or the Injector Controller so as not to create an
inadvertently high flow rate injection. PATIENT INJURY CAN
RESULT FROM HIGH FLOW RATE VENOUS INJECTIONS. Be
901214-001 Rev. 04 Page 1

sure to review all program parameters and injection settings prior to

arming and running the Injector.
 The EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System is not MRI compatible and must
not be used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) studies. Portions
of the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System will respond dangerously to
the very high magnetic fields associated with MRI scanners.
 A risk of explosion exists if the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System is
used in the presence of flammable anesthetics. It should never be
operated when any flammable gases are present. This equipment is
not suitable for use when a FLAMMABLE ANESTHETIC MIXED
WITH AIR or OXYGEN or NITROUS OXIDE is present.
 The EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System has been proven to work
properly with Bracco Injeneering supplies. To prevent the risk of
incompatibilities and equipment failures during procedures, use only
syringes and connecting tubes supplied directly by Bracco
Injeneering or by its authorized distributors.
 After the FASTLOAD™ syringe has been filled with Contrast it should
be used within a few hours. Once exposed to air, bacterial growth
may occur. Always follow the Contrast and Saline manufacturer’s
labeling for handling, loading, use, storage and disposal of their
product.
 To prevent transmission of infection, observe aseptic techniques
when handling Contrast, Saline or any equipment or materials that
contain or conduct the Contrast or Saline, including syringes, J-
Tubes, and intravenous administration sets. Never reuse any of
these single-use items. Discard these disposable items using proper
procedures for bio-hazardous waste.
 To assure sterility, as well as to prevent spills or damage to the
equipment, always inspect the packaging of the connecting tube and
the syringe itself to verify that there are no broken seals or other
signs of damage. If such conditions exist, do not use the syringe.
 Spilled fluid can result in the possibility of electrical shock. Do not
allow Contrast, Saline or other fluids to spill over the EmpowerCTA®+
Injector System. Do not immerse any parts of the EmpowerCTA®+
Injector System when cleaning. This could create a conductive path
between metallic parts of EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System and the
patient.
 Use the EmpowerCTA®+ System only when connected to a proper
electrical source. Plug the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector and Remote
Control directly into a grounded, hospital-grade electrical outlet. Do
not use an extension cord. Do not use an adapter to plug the
EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System or Remote Control into a two-
pronged, non-grounded outlet. Replace any worn or frayed wires
immediately.
 The EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System, as well as any other electrical
equipment attached to the patient and/or catheter must be electrically
isolated or properly grounded to prevent possible electrical shock.
 Attempting to open any component of the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector
System can also result in electrical shock. Do not attempt to repair or
Page 2 901214-001 Rev. 04

modify any portion of the system. These units contain no user-

serviceable parts. Only authorized service personnel should perform
servicing of internal parts.
 Administering intravenous Contrast or Saline with an Injector poses
the risk of extravasation. As with any procedure that involves
intravenous injection of a substance, proper technique can
substantially reduce the incidence of extravasation.
The following precautions refer to hazards that could result in minor injury or damage to
the CTA+ Injector system or other equipment. Read this section carefully.
 Connect the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System only to an electrical
source of the proper voltage and frequency as specified in Appendix
C of the user manual. If an incorrect voltage is used, the Injector
System may be damaged when it is turned on.
 When retracting the syringe plunger with the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector
System during Contrast or Saline filling or after the end of an
injection, do not let a vacuum build in the syringe by leaving the
EmpowerCTA®+ Connecting Tube attached to the end of the syringe.
In addition do not occlude the J-Tube or patient coiled tubing to the
syringe. Failure to let the syringe properly vent when retracting the
syringe plunger can cause the plunger to recoil forward when the
Injector ram reaches the Replace Syringe position.
 Dried Contrast may make removal of Luer fittings difficult. Do not let
Contrast dry. Make sure Luer connection is not over tightened.
 Rx only (USA): Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale,
distribution, and use by, or on the order of, a physician.
 In the event of a loss of communications between the two systems,
the Injector system will go to Monitor mode. An acknowledgement
message will be displayed to denote the fault occurrence.
 The use of accessory equipment not complying with the equivalent
safety requirements of this equipment may lead to a reduced level of
safety of the resulting system. Consideration relating to the choice
shall include:
 Use of the accessory in the patient vicinity.
 Evidence that the safety certification of the accessory has been
performed in accordance to the appropriate IEC/EN 60601-1-1
harmonized national standard.

Section 2: System Description

2.1 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The Empower Injector System consists of the following standard components:
 Injector
 Remote Control
 Power Supply
 Power Communications cable (Optional Lengths)
And consists of the following optional components:
 Pendant Switch (Remote or Injector floor)
 Syringe Warmer
 Floor Stand
 Ceiling Mounted Articulating J-arm
 Extravasation Detection Accessory
 Philips Cable
The Injector is comprised of the Injector Head and the Injector Controller (see
Figure 2-2). When installed, the Injector and the Remote Control are connected
to the Power Supply by a Power Communications Cable and a Communications
Cable (see Figure 2-1. CTA+ Injector with Remote). The Power
Communications Cable to the Injector provides power and communication
signals. The Communications Cable to the Remote Control is for
communications only.
The Remote Control (see Figure 2-3) and the Power Supply (see Figure 2-6)
have their own AC/Mains power cords that may be plugged into wall power
connectors. The Injector and the Remote Control have their own Power Switches
and both must be set to the ON position to have the entire system powered up
and operational.
The optional Extravasation Detection Accessory (EDA) is provided with the
Extravasation Detection Clip and mounting accessories. The EDA is powered
from the Injector. Additional configurations for the EmpowerCTA®+ are shown in
Section 2.1.1.
A special cable is designed for basic communications (injecting or not injecting)
with Philips MX8000 and Brilliance scanners. The cable is simply referred to as
the Philips Cable.
The EmpowerSYNC Power Supply is designed to allow the CTA+ a direct
connection to a Siemens or Toshiba CT Scanner. This Power Supply uses a
USB cable to communicate with the Remote Control.
The EDA and Power Supply do not have replaceable components and therefore
must be replaced if they fail.

Page 10 901214-001 Rev. 04

2.4 PHILIPS SCANNER CONNECTION

There are two different methods whereby the EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System
connects to the CT scanner. The first method is the EmpowerSYNC, and the
second method is the Philips Brilliance interface.
The EmpowerSYNC allows signals to be transmitted and coordinated between
the CT scanner and the Injector System. The communications between the two
systems allow for the improved workflow and timing between the two systems.
Under certain conditions, the system can be started and stopped by the CT
scanner. For further information on the EmpowerSYNC connectivity, contact your
Regional Service Provider.
Philips Medical Systems distributes its own connectivity feature called the Spiral
Auto Start Feature. The Philips scanner uses the start of the injection as a
countdown timer to initiate a CT scan. There is an injecting/not injecting signal
but no communication between the Injector and the scanner.
EmpowerCTA®+ injector system can be connected directly to Philips scanners to

time scans with the injection. A set of two cables is required in order to connect
the CTA+ to the scanner. Philips must provide an optional cable to connect the
scanner, or an equivalent cable can be used (see Figure 2-7. Philips Scanner
Cable ). The first cable plugs into the Remote Control. These cables each have a
solid state relay that can be in two states, OPEN or CLOSED. The relay is OPEN
when the Injector is in the Stop, Arm, or Pause state. The relay is CLOSED when
the Injector is in the Run state. The second cable can be supplied by Bracco
Injeneering or Philips (see Figure 2-8. Cable to Connect to Philips Scanner
301294-001)

Section 3: Preventive Maintenance

3.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance and service procedures.
3.1.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Preventive Maintenance should be performed on the Injector at a minimum of
every twelve months. Preventive Maintenance consists of cleaning the Injector
and related components, performance testing, making any required adjustments,
and repairing/replacing parts as required. Preventive Maintenance does not
replace the routine daily cleaning that is required to keep the Injector performing
properly. If the system is not used for a prolonged period of time, it should be
cleaned at least every six months. If any out-of-tolerance conditions or damaged
components are found during the preventative maintenance, a complaint report
should be generated with your Regional Service Provider and the Injector
repaired before it is returned to use on patients.
3.1.2 SERVICE
Preventive Maintenance and Service must be performed only by an authorized
technician who is trained in the use, operation, and servicing of the
EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System. Unauthorized service may result in personal
injury and damage to the system, and void of warranty.
Failure to observe cleaning instructions may result in equipment damage and create an
electrical hazard that can result in personal injury to the technologist and patient. When
®+
not in use, the EmpowerCTA Injector System should be stored in a safe place that
avoids the possibility of spills or other accidental damage. It should be placed in an area
away from dust, extreme or quickly changing temperatures. Follow proper personal
safety precautions when working around contaminated equipment or bodily fluids.
The Field Test Form must be completed immediately after system installation or when
®+
any service activity is performed on a EmpowerCTA Injector System component.

the old Single Board Computer/Controller Circuit Board Assembly.
If the problem remains, turn off injector and put back in the original
Single Board Computer/Controller Circuit Board Assembly
8. Check cables going through the Pivot Junction to the Controller Board
a. Individually disconnect cables passing from the Controller Board
to the Interconnect Board in the Injector housing
b. Check to see if power is restored to the Injector when the Power

Switch is turned on
9. Check fuses (see Figure 4-4)
The Power Supply contains two fast blow 6.3 Amp, 250VAC fuses (5 x 20 mm). These
fuses are protected by a current limiting circuit. When current draw exceeds the
specified amount, the Power Supply will go into current limiting and shut down. It will
return to normal operation when it senses the current draw is within specification. Due
to the current limiting feature of the Power Supply, if a faulty fuse is found try replacing
the fuse. If the fuse fails again, replace the Power Supply.
a. Remove the outer Power Supply casing to access the fuses
located on the circuit board
b. Use a flat-edge screwdriver to remove the two fuse-holders and

fuses
c. Test the fuses for continuity with the digital multi-meter
 If both fuses are good, replace the Power Supply

 If one or both fuses are bad, replace fuses (F6.3 Amp, Fast
Blow, 250 VAC, 5 x 20 mm) and retest
 If the fuses blow again, replace the Power Supply

4.6.1 INJECTOR HEAD TROUBLESHOOTING – HEATER HARNESS

When Heater Harness is suspect, perform the following.
1. Remove the rear enclosure panel of the Injector head by unscrewing
the 5 screws with a Phillips screwdriver
2. Disconnect the Heater Harness Cable from the Heater Harness
Extension Cable
3. Inspect the Heater Harness for visible damage
4. Use a digital multimeter to measure the continuity of all 4 wires of the
Heater Harness Cable between the connector to the extension cable
and the Syringe Warmer Connector pins (see Figure 4-7. Syringe
Warmer Connector). If any of the wires fail the continuity test,
replace the Heater Harness
The Heater turns on when a Contrast syringe is loaded and initialized. It remains on for
one hour and then shuts off until a new syringe is initialized.
Page 38 901214-001 Rev. 04

4.6.2 EDA IS OUT OF RANGE OR CANNOT ESTABLISH BASELINE

This section applies to systems that have the EDA installed. The Injector
Controller and the Remote Control may display either of the following messages:
EDA ENABLED – OUT OF RANGE
EDA ENABLED – NO BASELINE
These messages show EDA status during normal operation, and do not necessarily
reflect system problems. A problem may exist only if the message is not cleared after
technologist intervention.
1. Power down Injector using switch on the Injector Controller and
unplug Power Supply cord from wall outlet
2. Ensure the following conditions are met and retest after each step:
a. There are no damaged parts of the EDA Clip (look for cracks and
frayed wiring)
b. EDA Clip connector is properly attached to the EDA module
c. EDA Clip is properly attached to the EDA patch
d. EDA patch is properly adhering to skin
3. If the problem still exists, do the following and retest after each step:
a. Clean the gold contacts on the EDA Clip using a cotton swab and
alcohol
b. Replace the EDA Clip cable assembly
c. Replace EDA Module
901214-001 Rev. 04 Page 39

4.6.3 SYRINGE NEST DOES NOT OPEN OR CLOSE

The Syringe Nest is the movable part of the Syringe Door. It can be opened only
when the Injector’s RAM is fully retracted. If it cannot be opened or closed, the
Locking Detent Rod in the Injector Actuator is suspect. Dried Contrast in the
syringe nest can also seal the door shut.
It is possible to remove the bowed side-mount external retaining ring (E-Style) without
removing the Injector Actuator, but the side-mount external retaining ring is easier to
remove with the mechanism removed.
1. Remove the Injector Actuator (see Figure 4-6) from the Injector Head
(see 5.5.9: Replacing/Installing the EmpowerCTA®+ Actuator
Subassembly)
2. Inspect the Locking Detent Rod
3. Make certain that the bowed side-mount external retaining ring and
flat washer on the Locking Detent Rod are in place and undamaged
4. If necessary, replace the bowed side-mount external retaining ring
5. Otherwise, replace the Detent Rod (see Section 5.5.13: Replacing
EmpowerCTA®+ Locking Detent Rod Assembly)
The bowed side-mount external retaining ring is located on the Detent Rod between the
Anti-Rotation Bracket and the Motor and Bearing Mounting Plate. It is curved with the
concave side (curving inward) facing the Anti-Rotation Bracket.
Figure 4-6. Injector Actuator
Page 40 901214-001 Rev. 04

4.6.4 FALSE DOOR MESSAGE

When the Syringe Nest Door is open, a properly functioning system will prompt
the user to close the door by displaying the appropriate message.
Power down the Injector and the Remote Control before each replacement, and
retest the system after each replacement:
1. Cables though the Pivot Junction are under tension when the Injector
Head is rotated - see Section 5.4.3: Removing Cables That Go
Through The Pivot Junction
2. Door Sensor on the problem Injector assembly (see Section 5.5.10:
Replacing the Door Sensor)
3. Interconnect circuit board (see Section 5.5.14: Replacing the
EmpowerCTA®+ Interconnect Circuit Board)
4. Single Board Computer/Controller Circuit Board Assembly
4.6.5 SYRINGE WARMER DOES NOT WARM

The Syringe Warmer activates after the system has been properly initialized. In
order for the warmer to turn on, the following must happen in sequence, which
starts a software timer that will allow power to be applied to the warmer for 1
hour:
1. The Ram must be brought back to the Replace Syringe position
2. The Contrast Ram must be initialized
3. The Contrast Ram must be retracted to at least 1 ml
If the above events have not occurred, then there will be no heat at the warmer.
To determine if the warmer is operational, initialize the Injector and load
approximately 50 ml. Hold the warmer for about 1-2 minutes. It will begin to heat
to body temperature.
The warmer works in a cyclical fashion, heating and cooling, with a certain amount of
hysteresis between these events. If you grip the warmer while it is in the “cooling”
phase, it may not feel warm.
If the Syringe Warmer fails to get warm, perform the following:
1. Power down the Injector Head
2. Disconnect the Syringe Warmer from the Injector Head. Use the
digital voltmeter to make the following resistance measurements on
the Syringe Warmer’s connector (see Figure 4-7)
a. The resistance between pin #3 and pin #4 should be between 9 to
12 kohms (thermistor)
b. The resistance between pin #1 and pin #2 should be 120 to
160 ohms (heater)
> If either or both measurements fail, replace the Syringe
Warmer
> If both measurements pass, proceed to the next step
901214-001 Rev. 04 Page 41

Pin 2
Pin 1
Pin 4 Pin 3
Figure 4-7. Syringe Warmer Connector

3. Reinstall the Syringe Warmer on the Injector Head
4. Open the Controller Assembly Enclosure and disconnect the Heater
Extension Cable (P/N 301330-001) from the Controller Board
5. Using a digital multimeter, measure the resistance between the red
(Pin1) and black (Pin 3) wires of the Heater Extension Cable
a. Resistance across these two sockets should measure
between 120 and 160 ohms.
6. Using a digital multimeter, measure the resistance between the white
(Pin 4) and green (Pin 2) wires of the Heater Extension Cable
a. Resistance across these two sockets should measure
between 9 and 12 ohms.
7. If resistance measurements taken in steps 5 and 6 differ from those
taken in step 2, test all wires of the Heater Extension Cable for
continuity by using a digital multimeter
8. Inspect cable for damage
a. Replace any faulty cables
Page 42 901214-001 Rev. 04

4.6.6 CONTRAST/SALINE LEDS MALFUNCTION

The Injector Head has a large orange LED and a large yellow LED on back of its
front enclosure. Only one LED can be illuminated at a time. Under normal
operation, the orange LED, located behind the Contrast Injector will illuminate
when the Contrast Injector is selected. Similarly, the yellow LED, located behind
the Saline Injector will illuminate when the Saline Injector is selected.
4.6.6.1 LEDS FAIL TO ILLUMINATE

Use this procedure when the LEDs fail to illuminate when its Injector is
selected.
1. Determine if it is one or both LED’s that fail
2. If it is both LED’s, it is likely the interconnect board (see Figure 4-8)
or the cable from the interconnect board to the Controller Board
a. Replace one of the components to see if it resolves the issue
b. If it does not, try the other component
3. If it is one LED, try swapping the Contrast and Saline LED cables to
see if it is a faulty LED - use the touchscreen on the Injector to switch
between Saline and Contrast sides of the Injector
a. If the Saline LED illuminates when plugged into the Contrast
LED connector J9, then the Contrast LED is faulty and needs
to be replaced
b. If the Contrast LED illuminates when plugged into the Saline
LED connectorJ10, then the Saline LED is faulty and needs to
be replaced
c. If you swap cables, remember to plug the cables into the
correct location when finished troubleshooting
901214-001 Rev. 04 Page 43

Figure 4-8. Interconnect Board
4.6.7 PENDANT SWITCH MALFUNCTION

A Pendant Switch may be connected at the Injector Controller and/or Remote
Control. There are two versions of switches, one for the Remote Control and one
for the Injector Head. It allows the technologist to start, pause, and to restart an
injection by pressing the pendant switch button. The Injector Controller Pendant
Switch is also used for saline assist to test the patients vein before the injection.
Check the following for fault code 244:
disconnect Pendant Switch on Injector Head and see if an error
occurs
2. Power on Injector
3. If error goes away, replace Empower Pendant Cable (800688-003)
4. If error remains, replace Pendant connector cable (301332-001)
Page 44 901214-001 Rev. 04

7.3 CALIBRATING THE LINEAR POTENTIOMETER

The following provides procedures for calibrating the Linear Potentiometer in the
EmpowerCTA®+ Injector System. Calibration of the Linear Potentiometer is
necessary following replacement of the Single Board Computer/Controller Board
Assembly, Linear Potentiometer or Motor.
7.3.1 ADJUSTING THE EMPOWERCTA®+ LINEAR POTENTIOMETER

The EmpowerCTA®+ System has two linear potentiometers, one for the contrast
actuator and one for the saline actuator. A linear potentiometer must be
calibrated when replaced or when the 0ml or replace syringe position is incorrect.
In addition, both linear potentiometers must be calibrated when the single board
computer/controller board assembly is replaced or reprogrammed.
Preparing for Calibration:
1. Ensure that the Injector Head is in the upright position
2. Remove any used tubing and syringes
3. Load a new syringe into the Injector Actuator to be calibrated
4. Do the following at the Remote Control:
a. Press the SETUP button on the screen. The Setup Screen is
displayed
b. Press the SERVICE button on the screen. A keyboard is displayed
(see Figure 7-1. Service Screen)
c. Key in the service password and press ENTER. The Service
Screen is displayed showing the system’s software revision levels
Page 136 901214-001 Rev. 04

d. Do one of the following:
If the Linear Potentiometer on the Contrast Actuator is being

adjusted, Press the CONTRAST LINEAR button on the screen.
The Contrast Linear Potentiometer Manual Setting Procedure
Screen is displayed (See Figure 7-2. Contrast Linear Pot
Screen).
Figure 7-2. Contrast Linear Pot Screen

If the Linear Potentiometer on the Saline Injector Actuator is being
adjusted, press the SALINE LINEAR POTENTIOMETER
button on the screen. The Saline Linear Potentiometer Manual
Setting Procedure Screen is displayed (See Figure 7-3. Saline
Linear Pot Screen).
Figure 7-3. Saline Linear Pot Screen
901214-001 Rev. 04 Page 137

The following procedures should be followed for the linear potentiometer

requiring calibration.
Setting the 0 ml position:
1. Press and hold FAST ADVANCE key to advance the syringe plunger
until it is ½” from the end of the syringe. Press and hold the SLOW
ADVANCE key until the syringe plunger begins to touch the end of
the syringe. Use the hand knob to adjust the syringe plunger so it is
touching the end of the syringe. Verify the syringe can be easily
rotated in the syringe nest by hand
Do not allow the Plunger Head to advance above this level. Failure to stop the
Injector Plunger may result in equipment damage.
2. At the Remote Control, press the SETS 0 ML button. The button will
briefly disappear while the linear potentiometer position is programed
into the memory of the single board computer. Wait for the button to
reappear before continuing
Setting the Replace Syringe Position:
1. Set the Replace Syringe position as follows:
a. Press and hold the FAST RETRACT key on the Injector
Controller.
b. Watch as the syringe plunger retracts until it stops automatically in
down position.
Do not allow the Plunger Head to retract in the bottommost position longer than 2
seconds. Failure to stop the Injector Plunger may result in equipment damage.
c. At the Remote Control, press the SETS REPLACE SYRINGE
button. The button will briefly disappear while the linear
potentiometer position is programed into the memory of the single
board computer. Wait for the button to reappear before continuing
2. Repeatedly press the RETURN button on the screen until the Stop
Mode Main Screen is displayed (see Figure 6-1. Stop Mode Main)
Page 138 901214-001 Rev. 04

7.4 SETTING PRESSURE PROFILE CONSTANTS
The following procedures are used to set the m and b profile constants when they are
unknown. A test fixture with a calibrated pressure gauge is required to calculate the
pressure profile constants.
The constants are trim values. The b constant is used to adjust the LOW
pressure value displayed on the Injector display to match the fluid pressure
measured by the calibrated pressure gauge on the syringe test fixture. The m
constant is for the HIGH pressure value.
There is a m and b value for the Contrast side of the Injector head and a
independent m and b value for the Saline side of the Injector. The two sides of
the Injector do not interact. The constant equates motor current to injection
pressure thru the lead screw assembly.
The default value for both the m and b constants is 120. Typical values for the m
and b constants are between 105 and 135, but may be outside this range.
The acceptable pressure reading is 10psi plus 10% of the measured pressure
value. For Instance:
 At 50psi on the calibrated gauge, the Injector could display between
35 and 65psi.
 At 150 psi, the Injector could display between 125 and 175psi.
 At 325 psi, the Injector could display between 283 and 367psi
Always try to adjust the m and b values to get the displayed pressure value as
close as possible to the calibrated pressure gauges.

7.7 ARTICULATING J-ARM ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
7.7.1 HEIGHT AND TENSION ADJUSTMENTS

Required Tools: 5 mm Allen key (long T-handle preferred)
Always test the Articulating J-arm’s height and tension settings after performing
uninstall/install procedures, and adjust them if necessary. Ensure that there is
sufficient clearance between the Articulating J-arm and the ceiling (or any
fixtures) when the Articulating J-arm is raised to its highest level. If necessary,
perform a height adjustment. Figure 7-14 shows the Articulating J-arm at its
minimum and maximum vertical extensions.
Figure 7-14 shows the Articulating J-arm used with a legacy injector; at the time of this
manual’s release, the most current version was not available. Height and Tension
Adjustment information in this section, however, is still applicable.
Figure 7-14. Articulating J-arm Minimum and Maximum Extensions

Also ensure that the Injector maintains its vertical position when released. If it
moves up or down, adjust the tension.
Sudden release of the Articulating J-arm may result in personal injury. When making
height limit, tension adjustments or removing the Injector, hold the Articulating J-arm
and gently guide it to its highest position. If needed, adjust maximum height in order to
get to a comfortable working position.
7.7.1.1 MAXIMUM HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1. Lower and hold the Spring J-arm below the Horizontal J-arm
2. Insert a 5 mm Allen key, as shown in Figure 7-15, and turn clockwise
to decrease height or counterclockwise to increase height
3. Gently guide the J-arm to its resting position. Do not allow sudden
release of the J-arm. Observe height and repeat procedure if
necessary
When working with the Articulating J-arm, be aware of surroundings and inadvertent
contact with other equipment.
Page 156 901214-001 Rev. 04

7.7.1.2 TENSION ADJUSTMENT
1. Raise and hold the Spring J-arm above the Horizontal J-arm
2. Insert a 5 mm Allen key, as shown in Figure 7-15, and turn clockwise
to decrease tension or counterclockwise to increase tension
3. Test and readjust if necessary. Hold onto the J-arm while bringing it
back to its resting position
