The COVID-19 pandemic led to disruptions in iodinated contrast media (ICM) production and produced a global product shortage in the spring of 2022. The ACIST CVi system is an automated contrast injector system approved by the FDA for multi-patient dosing of ICM from a single container. A transition from the traditional manifold system for contrast injection to the ACIST CVi automated injector system in our cardiac angiographic labs during the COVID-19 pandemic led to reductions in contrast waste and cost while limiting patient exposure to ICM.
COVID-19 大流行导致碘造影剂(ICM)的生产中断,并在 2022 年春季导致全球产品短缺。ACIST CVi 系统是一种经 FDA 批准的自动化造影剂注射器系统,可从单个容器对多个患者进行 ICM 多剂量给药。在 COVID-19 大流行期间,我们的心脏血管造影实验室将传统的造影剂注射器系统转换为 ACIST CVi 自动化注射器系统,这减少了造影剂的浪费和成本,同时限制了患者接触 ICM 的机会。
