H2: the acist medical advisory board member's assessment is as follows: the films provided by the user facility show an intervention to the right coronary artery (rca).Multiple stents are placed.After post dilatation of the last stent, two angio films were taken.On the second film, a single bubble is injected.The most likely source of the air is at the tuohy after the balloon was removed.It is consistent with the small amount of air that the patient did not suffer injury.Per the acist cvi user's manual, the air column detect sensor is designed to aid the user in the detection of air columns in the injection line, but it is not designed to replace the vigilance and care required of the operator in visually inspecting for air and clearing air rom the entire patient kit and angiographic catheter.The air column detect mechanism is to be used in conjunction with and to complement the user's other procedures for preventing air injections.This report is considered closed.
