Save time! Don’t change media containers
In 1982, ulrich medical - a 3rd generation family concern based in Ulm - presented the first contrast agent injector for CT examinations.
Twenty years on, ulrich not only offers a high-end portfolio of contrast agent injectors - many installed on the fastest MSCTs - but it also has a highly active international distribution network.
‘Unlike common syringe injectors,’ ulrich explains, ‘all our injectors are based on the special
roll pump system. Pre-loading syringes is not necessary because injection is made directly from the media container, a feature that allows big storage bottles to be mounted. So several injections can be made consecutively without loading or decanting media. This comfortable handling contributes to a high patient turnover, as well as the saving of time and costs for disposables. In addition to the economic performance and consumption, the construction principle of a roll pump system reliably ensures the hygienic safety for multi-dosing.’
In addition to its CT injector ohio tandem, the company has now developed the ohio M, to also provide the tandem function for MRI examinations. This means two different contrast agents can be chosen without a time-consuming change of media containers. ‘Because two of the three media accesses can be equipped with different contrast agents, the optimal contrast medium, plus NaCl for each patient or examination, can be chosen without re-organising the daily workflow,’ ulrich points out.
