The CT Exprés 3D™ is the first Power Injector able to deliver Contrast Media and Saline without need for syringes, while enabling dilution. The CT Exprés 3D™ is further equipped with a multi-media console on both the injector and the remote control, enabling audio/video interfacing and easy handling. It is also equipped with automatic air detection during injection and prevention against unintentional re-use of a patient set to better secure the numerous daily operations. The in-between patient preparation time is reduced to only 30 seconds, thanks to quick-fit connections and the absence of syringe loading. Two bottles of contrast and one saline bag ensure all fluids are always available when needed, while the CT Exprés 3D™ can also be made compatible with Contrast Media soft bags.
