The recent Webinar Wednesday session “Busting Myths of Contrast Power Injectors” was sponsored by Althea. It was eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
Althea Modality Manager Michael Gossman dispelled false pretenses, myths and anxiety associated with contrast power injectors. He provided a quick introduction on what a contrast power injector is, including modalities and purpose. Then, he addressed three main myths associated with this equipment. The three myths are:
- Pressure – Why is high pressure used?/Safety to patients
- High liability/Testing tolerances
- This equipment should only be serviced by the OEM
More than 100 healthcare technology management (HTM) professionals registered for this modality-specific webinar. Attendees provided feedback via a survey that included the question, “What was your single biggest takeaway from today’s webinar?”
“Contrast injectors are not as complicated as believed” Veritas Biomedical Services President Ryan Zamudio said.
“It was good to understand the differences in pressure and how it’s applied,” said Donna Parker, imaging business manager, Hattiesburg Clinic.
“The importance of being able to repair your own equipment,” shared Chris GeFellers, BMET supervisor, Greeneville Community Hospital.
