A system service check of the medrad® stellant flex ct injector (sn (b)(4)) was completed on august 29, 2022, which confirmed that the injector was operating within bayer specifications.There was no evidence of equipment malfunction.The stellant disposable set that was in use during the procedure was discarded by the site and unavailable for evaluation.The customer was unable to provide the lot number of the disposables used during the incident; therefore, testing of retained samples was not possible.The offer of additional clinical applications training has been made to the customer and was declined.The site continues to use the medrad® stellant flex ct injection system after the reported event with no further issues reported.This information does not constitute an admission that the device, the company, or its employees caused or contributed to a reportable event.
