Accutron CT-D

CONTRAST-ENHANCED MAMMOGRAPHY WITH THE ACCUTRON CT-D

New application: Contrast-Enhanced Mammography with the Accutron CT-D

Our Accutron CT-D is working together with OEM mammography equipment providers for patients undergoing CEM or contrast-enhanced mammography.

Using MEDTRON ’s Accutron® CT-D injector alongside CEM imaging procedures ensures that a continuous and accurate fl ow of contrast is provided. It also ensures consistent contrast enhancement of tumor tissue.

Patient safety is improved as the injection is fl ushed with saline which shortens the time during which the contrast medium remains in high concentration locally in the arm veins, where it could irritate the venous wall.

And with Accutron® CT-D´s established wireless and mobile technology we insure easy portability of the injector to the patient.

INTELLIGENT BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Intelligent Battery Management System in the Accutron CT-D

MEDTRON AG has designed a completely new intelligent Battery Management System to prevent damage through over/under charging so as to prolong the life of your injector battery. It features a combined power supply and charger in one device and allows the end user to utilize the injector and charge at the same time, if so required

The intelligent Battery Management System is a new feature and currently only available on select Accutron® Injectors. Check with your sales partner for further information.

the diagnostics specialist

Like all contrast medium injectors of MEDTRON, the Accutron CT-D fully meets the requirements regarding precision in diagnostics, patient-friendliness and economic efficiency.

The mains-independent double head injector for the injection of contrast medium and physiological saline solution in computed tomography is characterized by a high level of user-friendliness and the latest drive technology.

Optimization of diagnostics

• The precise double head injection of the Accutron CT-D ensures a stable flow rate of contrast medium and thus ensures a homogenous contrast medium enhancement during the whole examination.
• Thanks to the possibility of changing the concentration of contrast medium within a multiphase injection, improved diagnostics (e.g. in a CT-Angio) can be achieved.

Precise, efficient and patient-friendly

• The system for the optimized administration of contrast media and physiological saline solution considerably reduces the examination times and contributes to a significant reduction in contrast medium consumption.
• Easy Loading Syringes (ELS) with a filling volume of 200 ml per syringe can be inserted into the integrated, heatable syringe holders.
• The real-time pressure monitoring allows a very patient-friendly use.
• Prefilled syringes can be used.

Efficient, autarkical and immediately ready for use

• The Accutron CT-D, as well as all the other MEDTRON injectors of the new generation, is available completely wirelessly.
• The contrast medium injector disposes of integrated, high-output rechargeable batteries and a radio-controlled touch screen remote control. Thanks to this remote control, settings can be made easily from the control room.
• The quick installation of the Accutron CT-D in every place saves time and thus contributes considerably to the optimization of the workflow.

Intuitively operable and user-programmable

• Each of the two recipients for contrast medium and physiological saline solution disposes of a heating which can be switched on and off separately and which keeps the preheated fluids at a constant temperature.
• The well-structured, self-explanatory menu navigation offers a high level of user-friendliness and an intuitive operation.
• On the injector as well as on the touch screen remote control either the injection parameters can be displayed (numerically) or, alternatively, the pressure curve (graphically).
• Thanks to the Auto-Hold function the user can preset that the injection will be interrupted between two injection phases and can be continued later.

Integration into the diagnostic process

With the CANopen Class 4 interface and an open system interface to most of the well-known scanners, the Accutron CT-D disposes of a wireless interface by which the injector can be connected to the imaging device. Thus, diagnostic device and injector can be controlled synchronously.

• This increases the operating convenience and reduces the amount of possible operating errors.
• Examination procedures can be realized faster and the exposure of the patient to radiation and contrast medium is reduced considerably.
• The injection profiles and the scan protocol are managed together.
• Complex examinations consisting of several scans and injection phases can be performed more easily.

Of course, MEDTRON provides all device-specific consumables.
