ACIST Medical Systems started as an idea from an interventional cardiologist who believed there needed to be a better, smarter, more responsive way to inject contrast during all cardiac and vascular angiography procedures (such as the coronaries, aorta, ventricles, and peripheral vasculature).  From this concept, the ACIST advanced contrast delivery system was developed with the distinct purpose of enabling the physician to achieve even greater focus on the image and the patient – instead of on stopcocks, syringes, tubing, and equipment. Now, the fourth generation of this innovation, the ACIST CVi contrast injection system is a market leader in responsive, variable-rate, contrast delivery. More importantly, use of the ACIST CVi system means ease-of-operation for physicians and staff while obtaining quality images with less contrast used and delivered to the patient*.

System Benefits*:

Safety

• Less contrast dosage to the patient– up to 28% ^1,11
• Ergonomic design of the hand controller helps prevent hand/wrist fatigue and body strain ^4,9,10
• Built in air column detection and system sensors**

Efficiency

• Contrast reduction and cost savings – up to 40% ^1,2,5
• Reduction in procedure and setup time – up to 31% ²
• Facilitates use of smaller catheters ^3,4,6,7,9

Control

• Single-handed injections using the AngioTouch^® hand controller which allows instantaneous, responsive control of flow rate and volume, from a puff to a full injection.
