The Accutron HP: Mobile precision in injection technology for angiography
AND computed tomography

The Accutron HP allows a fast and precise perfor-

mance of high-pressure injections as well as creating
multiphase injection profiles. Thus, the mobile high-
performance injector meets all requirements of
modern angiography and computed tomography
and follows the objective: more economic, faster,
and more patient-friendly.

MEDTRON AG has always taken up this challenge.

The innovative injector concepts of the German
company complete all modern examination methods
which can be performed by means of medical
imaging systems.

Thanks to the constant user dialogue and the inte-

gration of the customer in the product development
process, MEDTRON devices as well as device-specific
disposables and customer-specific individual solu-
tions meet all requirements regarding precision,
diagnostics, patient-friendliness, economic efficiency
and functionality.

Like all contrast medium injectors of MEDTRON, the

Accutron HP also combines highest performance
and intelligent control technology in one compact
device of high quality. Likewise, the mains indepen-
dent single-head injector is characterized by high
user-friendliness and the latest drive technology.

Space-saving, mobile and mains independent
Thanks to its swivelling injection unit on a mobile
column, the Accutron HP is immediately ready for use
in every examination room and requires only very little
space due to its compact and slim design. As the in-

and an easy handling.
In the Angio-mode, injections can be performed either
in the single or in the multi mode. The well thought-out
injector concept allows the storage of 120 individually

cleaning effort for the device is reduced considerably.
The high-output rechargeable batteries and the automatic

minimizes the exposure of the patient to contrast medium
and radiation.
The piston movement for filling and venting can be per-
formed on the touch screen control panel as well as
manually by means of buttons on the operating unit.
The improved pressure control and the optimized high-
pressure tube system with double check valve ensure a
high safety level and operating convenience.
On the injector as well as on the touch screen remote
control either the injection parameters can be dis-
played (numerically) or, alternatively, the pressure
curve (graphically).
The wireless interface (Bluetooth)* allows the synchro-
nous start of the diagnostic device and the Accutron
HP by means of the foot or hand switch of the diagnos-
tic device.

The success of modern examination methods in angio- right amount of contrast medium, at the right time,

shorter exposure times and thus on the principle: the

Angiography

In the Angio-mode, the high-performance injector allows
an exact dosage of contrast medium thanks to a
maximum injection pressure of 83 bar (1200 psi) – pro-
grammable from 5 to 83 bar in 1 bar increments (73 to
1200 psi).
In the Angio-mode, the flow rates of the injection unit
are programmable from 0.1 to 30 ml/s in increments
of 0.1 ml/s. As an alternative to the input of the flow
rate, the input of the phase duration can be chosen.
The rise time from 0.1 to 10 s as well as the injection
and the X-ray delay from 0 – 255 s are programmable
in increments of 0.1 s.

Computed tomography

In the CT-mode, the Accutron HP allows programme-
controlled multiphase injections (1 – 3 phases).
The duration as well as the scan delay of up to a ma-
ximum of three phases is freely selectable. In the CT-
mode the scan delay from 0 – 255 s is programmable
in increments of 0.1 s.
In this field of application the maximum injection pres-
sure is 21 bar (305 psi) and is programmable in 1 bar
increments from 5 to 21 bar (73 to 305 psi).
