Contrast Injector Tubing System — 24-Hour Use
SKU: XY-CTS | Sistema de Tubuladura para Inyector de Contraste — Uso 24 Horas
Conventional tubing is replaced in full for every patient. This system splits the circuit in two: an inner run that stays connected to the injector for the whole session, and an outer run from the circuit to the patient that is changed for each study. The right comparison is not unit price but cost per study — in a room doing twenty CTs a day, changing only the outer run cuts both material and preparation time between patients, and the inner run is replaced once at the end of the session. The inner run carries standard Luer connectors throughout, an air filter in the bottle spike, a fluid filter that stops particulate before the line, several check valves in series that prevent reflux toward the saline side, and a pressure sensor to monitor flow. Both runs are made from 150 to 320 cm to suit the distance between injector and table.
Technical Specifications
Clinical Uses
- Automated contrast and saline injection in CT
- MRI studies with a power injector
- High-volume imaging rooms where cost per study is the purchasing metric
- Reducing material and preparation time between patients
Lengths by run
Give us the real distance between injector and table in your room. A short line forces the machine to be moved during the study; an over-long one leaves slack hanging where it can catch.
| Run | Function | Lengths (cm) | Change interval |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inner | Bottle to circuit — carries filters, valves and sensor | 150 · 180 · 200 · 225 · 250 · 300 · 320 | Once per 24 hours |
| Outer | Circuit to patient | 150 · 180 · 200 · 225 · 250 · 300 · 320 | Every study |
The inner run comes in two families depending on the injector's circuit design. Confirm brand and model when quoting so we ship the right one.
Frequently Asked Questions — Contrast Injector Tubing System — 24-Hour Use
How is this different from a conventional tubing set?
Conventional tubing is replaced in full for every patient. This system keeps the inner run connected to the injector for the whole session and changes only the outer run between studies. The saving shows up in cost per study and preparation time, not in unit price.
Can it really stay connected for 24 hours without cross-contamination risk?
The design allows it because the inner run never touches the patient — there is always a fresh outer run in between, and several check valves in series stop fluid returning from the patient side into the circuit. Even so, the working change interval is set by the department's protocol and local regulation, not by the manufacturer. Confirm both before adopting it.
What length should I order?
The real distance between injector and table in your room, measured with the machine in its usual position. Too short forces the injector to be moved during the study; too long leaves a hanging loop that can catch. Both runs are made from 150 to 320 cm.
Does it fit any power injector?
The inner run comes in two families depending on the injector's circuit design, so compatibility depends on the model. Send us the brand and model and we confirm which one applies before you order.

Where the saving actually comes from
Compare cost per study, not price per unit. A conventional set is discarded whole after each patient. Here the inner run — the expensive part, with the filters, the check valves and the pressure sensor — stays on the injector for the session, and only the outer run goes in the bin between studies. In a room running twenty CTs a day that is nineteen fewer inner runs, plus the preparation time that goes with them.
What keeps the inner run clean
The inner run never touches the patient: there is always a fresh outer run between it and them, and several check valves in series stop fluid moving back from the patient side into the circuit. The air filter sits in the bottle spike and the fluid filter catches particulate before it reaches the line.
The interval is a protocol decision, not a product claim
The system is built for a 24-hour inner run. Whether your customer's department actually works to 24 hours is set by their own infection-control protocol and by local regulation, and that governs — confirm both before standardising on it.
Getting the length right
Measure with the injector where it actually stands. Too short and staff move the machine mid-study; too long and a loop hangs off the table. Both runs are made from 150 to 320 cm.
