The Accutron HP: Mobile precision in injection technology for angiography AND computed tomography
The Accutron HP allows a fast and precise performance of high-pressure injections as well as creating multiphase injection profiles. Thus, the mobile highperformance injector meets all requirements of modern angiography and computed tomography and follows the objective: more economic, faster, and more patient-friendly.
MEDTRON AG has always taken up this challenge. The innovative injector concepts of the German company complete all modern examination methods which can be performed by means of medical imaging systems.
Thanks to the constant user dialogue and the integration of the customer in the product development process, MEDTRON devices as well as device-specific disposables and customer-specific individual solutions meet all requirements regarding precision, diagnostics, patient-friendliness, economic efficiency and functionality.
Like all contrast medium injectors of MEDTRON, the Accutron HP also combines highest performance and intelligent control technology in one compact device of high quality. Likewise, the mains independent single-head injector is characterized by high user-friendliness and the latest drive technology.
