Hi Fiona,

You can use IV, 0.2 micron filter, between common reusable tubing and
connector tubing that is connected to a patient. With that both the
infusion system and the patient will be protected from crossover
contamination. I can recommend you a number of IV filters that are already
successfully used for many procedures, including CT contrast infusions.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time convenient for further
information.

Warm Regards,

CT Contrast Injecting System

Hi All,

I have been asked to evaluate a new system for injecting CT contrast to
determine its suitability for our facility. The transflux system allows
for multi use of syringes, common reusable tubing (both changed daily) and
a connector tubing that is changed for every patient. It has TGA
approval. It has been used for a number of years in Europe.

I am concerned about the potential for line contamination from blood as
well as the sterility of the connector ends. I would like to hear from
anyone who has previously evaluated this system or has used it.

Kind Regards,
