Perform the following steps to load the DEFINITY® vial.
1.
The vial carrier is spring loaded and opens to accommodate the DEFINITY® vial by means of the release lever.
Press the lever downward to unlatch the vial carrier then press the lever to the left to open the carrier for vial
loading.
2.
Holding the DEFINITY® vial between your thumb and fingers, load the vial by placing the top of the vial in the left
cup of the carrier (see diagram below). The cups of the carrier are molded to best accommodate the vial when
the top of the vial is placed in the left cup. Either position (i.e. top of the vial in either cup) is possible and will
allow for acceptable activation of DEFINITY®.
IMPORTANT: To ensure cleanliness of the DEFINITY® vial septum, load the vial with the flip-top seal in
place.
3.
Release the lever and the spring action of the carrier will hold the vial securely. Make sure that the vial is evenly
supported by both cups of the carrier.
4.
Close the VIALMIX®
RFID
cover.
Activating the DEFINITY® Vial
With VIALMIX®
RFID
powered on, the vial in place, and the cover closed, the following will be displayed when the user is
ready to activate DEFINITY®.
The activation time of "45", representing 45 seconds, will appear on the VIALMIX®
RFID
display. If it does not display,
refer to the "Troubleshooting" section located on page 12.
Press the START
button located under the display to begin the activation cycle. The cycle time on the VIALMIX®
RFID
display will begin to count down to zero.
IMPORTANT: VIALMIX®
RFID
will not start the activation cycle with the cover in the open position. Do
not open the VIALMIX®
RFID
cover during the activation cycle. Doing so will render the vial unusable.
Acceptable activation is achieved only with an uninterrupted activation cycle.
