    What to do if there is a PAS occlusion in Medrad Intego Medical Equipment?
    • C
      Christine Hogan MDAug 7, 2025
      If you encounter a PAS occlusion with your Medrad Medical Equipment, check the lines for occlusions. Common causes include clamped, kinked, or crushed tubing, high-gauge needles or catheters, or closed valves between the PAS and the patient. Also, verify the Saline Container and Saline Line for any occlusions. If the DISCARD option is selected or activity remains in the Dose Calibrator after all attempts to resume, the remaining activity will be discarded into the Waste Container.

    What to do if air is detected in SAS during infusion in Medrad Intego?
    • J
      Jose SmithAug 12, 2025
      If air is detected in the SAS during infusion with your Medrad Medical Equipment, check the PAS for air, including the connection points with the patient catheter and the SAS. If an air pocket is detected, disconnect the PAS from the patient catheter and prime the tubing set again. Then, reconnect the PAS to the patient catheter and initiate the saline test infusion.

      Wayne RobinsonAug 17, 2025
      If the Air Detector is activated on your Medrad Medical Equipment, confirm that the SAS is properly inserted into the Air Detector. If necessary, slide the Shielded Chamber Lid open to expose the Air Detector and properly insert the SAS. You can also re-prime the system. If the display indicates that the SAS has already been primed, press the YES button to continue.

    What to do if Medrad Intego Medical Equipment fails with RP in Dose Calibrator?
    • T
      Timothy GreenNov 20, 2025
      If your Medrad Medical Equipment experiences a system failure with a Dose of RP in the Dose Calibrator, first restart the system. If the error condition persists after the restart, the dose in the Dose Calibrator can be infused manually. To do this, open the Saline Pump and remove the tubing. Disconnect the Saline Container from the SAS. Insert the Saline Container tubing set into the Saline Pump to prevent saline leakage. Open the Shielded Chamber Lid to expose the PAS Pinch Valve and remove the SAS from the Pinch Valve, then close the lid. Connect a syringe filled with 40 ml of saline to the free end of the SAS and manually infuse the saline to push the RP dose through the system and into the patient. After infusion, disconnect the patient. If needed, remove the SAS and the Multi-Dose Vi...
