CONTRAST THE DIFFERENCE


Merit’s new Miser contrast management systems provides patient safety with dual one-way check valves, vent filters, and a proprietary ball seat to minimize air from going into the distal tubing. Cost containment is achieved through reduced waste, contrast volume discount pricing, and minimizing time-consuming bottle changes.


Merit Miser Contrast Management System consists of two parts:


CONTRAST SPIKE ASSEMBLY

• large bore piercing spike

• 6” large bore tubing

• large bore, 3-way, stopcock


CONTRAST BURETTE ASSEMBLY

• 2 each 1-way check valves

• 1 each 30ml flexible burette chamber

• distal tubing assembly available with or without 3-way stopcock, in small bore or large bore tubing configuration


INTENDED USE

The Merit Contrast Management System is intended for the vascular administration of contrast media and saline.

Features and Benefits

FLUID LEVEL MEMORY

Fast-filling flexible chamber automatically refills to maintain pre-established levels.


AIR SHUT OFF BALL

Large orange ball minimizes air from entering distal fluid line and offers a highly visible contrast level indicator.


DEFLECTOR PLATE

Minimizes potential for air bubbles by directing fluid to the chamber wall.


MARQUISTM SERIES STOPCOCK

Stopcock configurations allow labs to drain the distal fluid line eliminating contrast waste

Simplified Preparation Four Easy Steps!


O.S.C.A.R.

• Open vent by aligning vent wings to initiate contrast flow

• Squeeze burette chamber to expel air and create a vacum in the chamber

• Close vent by releasing vent wings and

• Release squeeze of chamber

Improved Function

• Large inlet and outlet openings with high flow check valves provide faster initial fill and rapid refill.

• Unattended air inlet vent is always in the ‘off’ position; preventing overfill of the burette chamber

Safety informations

CONTRAINDICATIONS -

There are no known contraindications.


WARNINGS

• Use aseptic technique.

• Do not attempt to flush contrast media or air bubbles back through the contrast delivery system when the Miser burette chamber is full of fluid. (Caution: Flushing back through a full Miser burette chamber could damage the two check valves above the burette chamber and compromise sterility of the spike assembly and contrast container.)

• Make secure connections to prevent the introduction of air into the system.

• Finger-tighten all connections with caution as over tightening can create cracks and/or leaks.

• Examine product carefully for entrapped air and fully debubble prior to injection.

• If there is a possibility of contamination, disassemble, discard, and set up new sterile product.

• Do not use the Miser contrast burette assembly on more than one patient.

• Do not leave the contrast spike assembly attached to a container of contrast for longer than six (6) hours.

• Discard in accordance with accepted medical practice and applicable regulations. After use, this product is a potential biohazard.

• The Miser contrast management burette is for single patient use only. To minimize the potential for loss of structural integrity of the device, cross contamination, and/or patient infection or cross-infection, do not reuse, reprocess, resterilize or alter this device.


PRECAUTIONS

• Carefully read all instructions prior to use.

• Inspect device and packaging prior to use to verify that no damage has occurred during shipping.

• Do not use the product if there are any questions concerning device sterility or damage.

• Insure the device is in an appropriate vertical position during use to obtain best possible clinical results. Note: The burette must hang vertically for the orange ball to operate effectively.

• U.S. Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician (or properly licensed practitioner).
