4 Enhanced Xtream Injector
The Enhanced Xtream Injector provides synchronization of the start of the scan and the start of
the contrast injector using the start scan button on the Scan Control Interface or the gantry
controls. The Enhanced Xtream Injector also allows setting of the contrast injector parameters
within the CT scan protocol and creation of an Injector Report at End Exam of what was
delivered by the injector. The system and injector are operated independently after the start
scan button is pressed on the system.
The supported injectors are CiA425 compliant and are compliant with the Class 4 injector as
defined in CiA425. Only the Medrad Stellant D and Nemoto DualShot Alpha / DualShot GC/GXV
injectors are supported. Connecting any other injector will disable the ability to use the
integrated injector capabilities.
4.1 About Enhanced Xtream Injector
4.1.1 Indications for use
The Enhanced Xtream Injector option is designed to facilitate contrast-enhanced CT imaging by
connecting the system with a compatible injector. When used, pressing one single start button
at the system allows the user to start the CT scan synchronized with the injector.
The Enhanced Xtream Injector option is based on the protocol contained in the CiA425 standard
and allows this injector to operate with multiple GE systems that have the modified software and
hardware interface required for the CiA425 communication protocol built into them. This device
is only the communication protocol and bus interface needed to communicate with a 510(k)
cleared injector that is compatible with the CiA425 standard.
NOTE:
This option is only the communication protocol and bus interface needed to
communicate with a validated compatible OEM injector (availability may vary
regionally).
4.1.2 Protocol considerations
Injection parameters can be included in scan protocols when the Enhanced Xtream Injector
option is installed. Patient size and conditions should be taken into consideration for the
parameters set in the protocol.
