Abstract

#Ultravist has been used as a contrast agent in computed tomography (CT) imaging and allows for an efficient and optimized workflow [1, 2]. This contrast agent is marketed in two types, which are the vial type and the prefilled type. In the case of vial type contrast agent, for assembly and refilling, the contrast agent must be moved to an automatic injector using syringes, disposable tubes, and connectors. During this process, the staff frequently #manipulates the contrast agent and several materials necessary for assembly. The materials that do not come into direct contact with a patient can be used for several examinations or for more than one patient, although the materials used during treatment are approved for single use only according to several guidelines about infection control [3]. Frequent handling and multiple uses of #syringe and other materials potentially leads to #bacterial contamination and local infection [4-8].On the other hand, the prefilled contrast agent requires no syringe filling during the assembly procedure. When using the prefilled type, fewer manipulations are done by the staff than are necessary when using vial type contrast agent; therefore, it has a benefit of lowering the risk of #contamination or infection.
