CVi Quick Guide
This is a quick guide for learning how to use and implement the ACIST CVi® Contrast Delivery System. There are a variety of components that make up the CVi® Contrast Injector. Some of these include touch screen monitor, saline pump, injector head, mobile cart, among others. Some of the consumables include the patient tubing, hand […]
ACIST AT X65
One component of the ACIST CVi® Contrast Delivery System is the improved AngioTouch® Kit known as the ACIST AT X65. With AT X65, you may achieve a higher level of definition in the hemodynamic signal, enabling the dicrotic notch to be observed with greater clarity. The ACIST AT X65 features a dual rotator mechanism that […]
ACIST CVi Contrast Delivery System
The ACIST CVi® Contrast Delivery System streamlines procedures, enhances patient care, optimizes workflow, and improves overall efficiency. It effectively caters to a wide range of angiographic procedures, accommodating both small injections in coronary arteries and large volumes in ventricles and peripheral vasculature. A key component of the system is the AngioTouch® Hand Controller, which enables […]
Making the Case for CI-AKI Prevention With the ACIST CVi™ Contrast Delivery System
In this article by Dr. Sandeep Krishnan, Interventional and Structural Cardiologist at King’s Daughters Medical Center in Ashland, KY, we look at how the ACIST CVi® Contrast Delivery System can benefit medical professionals’ practices and their catheterization labs. CVi® has many safety features that can help reduce the risk of air injection. Not only does […]
PSI vs Flow Rate with CVi
Dr. Wilson, Interventional Cardiologist and founder of ACIST Medical Systems, explains the distinguishing features of the ACIST CVi® Contrast Delivery System compared to other injection systems. One notable difference is that ACIST CVi® utilizes longer tubing, which facilitates more pressure dissipation along its length. It is important to note that all pressure injectors have a […]
ACIST CVi Patient Safety Brochure
The deliberate design of the ACIST CVi® Contrast Delivery System aims to minimize patient risks. With a robust design, the ACIST CVi® has successfully facilitated the diagnosis and treatment of over 30 million coronary procedures while effectively reducing angiographic risks. One key aspect of the CVi® system’s value lies in its ability to reduce contrast […]
Radiation Safety
Radiation safety is of utmost importance in the catheterization lab, as invasive cardiac diagnostic and interventional procedures can contribute significantly to a patient’s overall radiation exposure. In the cath lab there is an increasing need for operators and staff to find ways to minimize their exposure in every case until radiation is at a level […]
CIN White Paper
Dr. Richard Solomon, Chief of Nephrology in the Department of Medicine at the University of Vermont College of Medicine and Fletcher Allen Health Care, introduces causes of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy (CIN) in the catheterization lab and its impact on patient outcomes. He became involved with contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) from a research perspective in the early 1990s, […]
Meta-Analysis of the Effect of Automated Contrast Injection Devices Versus Manual Injection
Background: Contrast-sparing devices have been slowly adopted into routine patient care. Randomized trial evidence of automated contrast injectors (ACIs) has not been analyzed to evaluate the true reduction in contrast volume during coronary angiography and intervention. It has been thought that reducing the amount of contrast exposure will result in a simultaneous reduction in the […]
Automated Contrast Injection in Contemporary Practice During Cardiac Catheterization and PCI
This document focuses on contemporary measures, including automated contrast injection (ACI) systems, to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) following catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The use of automated contrast injection systems, such as the ACIST CVi® Contrast Delivery System, can effectively decrease the volume of contrast used during procedures. It remains uncertain whether lower contrast […]
