Description
BRANSIST safire Product Usage: DIGITAL ANGIOGRAPHY SYSTEM This system is intended to be used for radiologic visualization of the heart, blood vessels or lymphatic system during or after injection of a contrast medium. It is to be used in the diagnosis of the circulatory vascular system while being combined with a positioning device and other devices.
Normal operation of the device is to power up the device in the morning, register the first patient, and then perform a fluoroscopy. If, however, the user powers up the device in the morning and makes an error by starting a fluoroscopy while the first patient is still being registered, the device application will abnormally terminate and require service intervention before it can be used again. This event will not occur after the first patient procedure.
