MEDRAD® Centargo CT Injection System is an automated contrast injection system that is indicated for the controlled, automatic administration, via the venous route, of a contrast agent and 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP (saline) to patients undergoing examinations in computed tomography (CT).
The system is intended for use by and under direct quasi-continuous supervision of trained healthcare professionals to assure the integrity of the contrast agent and the injection system, in an appropriate licensed healthcare facility, in a room designated for radiological procedures that involve intravascular administration of a contrast agent.
For a complete list of compatible contrast agents for use with the MEDRAD® Centargo CT Injection System, refer to the Centargo CT Injection System Operation Manual.
The Day Set is used for a maximum time of twenty-four (24) hours, or for a maximum of 25 bottles of contrast agents, whichever comes first. The Patient Line must be discarded after each patient procedure. The Replacement Spike is for single-container use only and must be discarded with the fluid container. Contrast agent containers are to be discarded after their respective use times have expired or the Day Set use life has expired, whichever occurs first.
Saline should only be used to deliver multiple single doses to multiple patients when used with the MEDRAD® Centargo CT Injection System and the provided Saline Tag. Once the port of the saline container is punctured, it should not be removed from the work area during the entire period of use. Saline containers are to be discarded with the Day Set.
The ISI2 Module is indicated for the specific purpose of allowing an injector to interface with an imaging scanner.
The MEDRAD® Centargo CT Injection System (Centargo) is an automated contrast injection system intended to be used to inject intravenous contrast agents and saline into humans for diagnostic studies in CT applications. Centargo is intended for use with the approved contrast agent in a single-dose container and Imaging Bulk Package (IBP)
Centargo is based on well-established technologies for injection, using a piston-based electromechanical device. The system is designed to protect the patient against air injection by incorporating multiple sensors to detect air within the fluid pathway. The system is comprised of two main modules:
- Scan Room Unit – responsible for handling the contrast/saline and delivering injections
- Control Room Unit - controls, monitors, and communicates with the Scan Room Unit through wired or wireless connection
The Scan Room Unit is located within the scan room whereas the Control Room Unit is not. When communicating via wired or wireless connection, the Control Room Unit can remotely control the Scan Room Unit and initiate and execute injections. However, the Scan Room Unit can operate independently without the use of the Control Room Unit via the Scan Room Unit's graphical user interface (GUI).
The Scan Room Unit is available in two different configurations:
- Pedestal with battery and AC power
- Overhead mount with AC power only
The fluids are delivered from a multi-patient disposable set (Day Set) through a single use patient line (Patient Line). The Day Set is labeled for 24 hours or for a maximum of 25 bottles of contrast agents, whichever comes first. Fluid source spikes (Replacement Spike) are for single container use.
The system is intended to be used in a CT suite. It is intended to be operated by personnel with training and experience in CT procedures and use of CT injection systems. Operators will consist of radiological technologists trained in the use of the equipment. This system is intended for use on the general patient population, including adults and pediatrics.

Options and Accessories
All optional set-ups and accessories for Centargo are related to software-based features. They are either software license enabled or require a hardware accessory to be connected (the ISI2 Module).
The following types of options are available for Centargo:
- Scanner connectivity related options – enables injectors and scanners to communicate
- Smart Protocols related options -- computes individualized contrast injection protocols
- Automated documentation related options – transfers data with external systems
Scanner connectivity related options
These options enable injectors and scanners to communicate, enhancing clinical capability by synchronizing scan timing and simplifying operator workflow. There are three different options for connecting a Centargo to a scanner:
- ISI-700 (accessory ISI2 Module required) – Proprietary interface
- ISI-900 (accessory ISI2 Module required) – CiA-425 standard based, Class IV
- Connect.CT (software only) – Proprietary interface
Smart Protocols related options
Injection protocols may be either fixed standard protocols with fixed volumes and rates for all patients (i.e., one size fits all), or they can be personalized for each patient (e.g., be weight based). Protocols can also be adapted for the iodine concentration in use as well as the scanner tube voltage. Finally, protocols can also be adapted for the particulars of some study types and the specific CT scanner capabilities being used. The three kinds of Smart Protocols available on Centargo are:
- Personalized Patient Protocol Technology (P3T)
- Iodine Load/Dose Based Protocols, Iodine Delivery Rate Based Protocols
- Tube Voltage Based Protocols
Automated documentation related options
Centargo by default is a standalone injection system that operates in accordance with its intended use without any network connections being required. If a customer prefers to have injection information transmitted to their hospital system (e.g., Radiology Information System (RIS)), they may purchase one or more automated documentation options. These options are for customer convenience and are not themselves considered medical devices as their sole function is to transfer data.
V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

VII. INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS FOR USE COMPARISON
Intended Use/Indications for Use comparison discussion:
The Intended Use of proposed modification to Centargo is the same as the cleared Centargo CT Injection devices as both devices are intended for the controlled, automatic administration of contrast agent and saline on the venous side to human subjects while undergoing examination by means of a computed tomography (CT) scanner. There are minor indication differences in not listing the specific contrast agents in the indications for use statement, which do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness and do not result in a new intended use.
VIII. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The MEDRAD® Centargo CT Injection System possesses the same technological characteristics as the predicate. Both subject device and predicate aim to deliver fluids consistently and reliably according to user programmed protocols. The Centargo system fluid delivery performance has been demonstrated to be as safe and effective as the predicate device.
IX. PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT
A. System Integration Analysis
Centargo CT Injection System integration testing was successfully performed to ensure the system is capable of operation with single-dose (50 ml) contrast presentations as per the design specifications.
B. Human Factors Assessment
Human Factors assessment was completed in accordance with the following standards and guidance:
- IEC 62366-1 Edition 1.1 2020-06 Consolidated version. Medical devices-Part 1: Application of Usability engineering to medical devices.

Electromagnetic Compatibility/Electrical Safety testing, Biocompatibility, Chemical Compatibility, Cleaning and Disinfection, Sterilization, Packaging and Shelf-life testing, Contamination Control Testing, Software Verification and Validation, Cybersecurity and Device performance testing has been previous conducted as part of K241849 and is being leveraged.
Based on the assessment, the proposed modifications to the MEDRAD® Centargo CT Injection System are found acceptable regarding safe and effective use for the intended users, uses and use environments.
Summary
In summary, the conclusions drawn from the previously submitted nonclinical and other tests (discussed above) demonstrate that the device is safe and effective as the predicate device (K241849).
X. CONCLUSION
Bayer considers the MEDRAD® Centargo CT Injection System (Centargo) to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Centargo CT Injection System (K241849). This conclusion is based upon the devices having the same intended use and same technological characteristics. Centargo has demonstrated its ability to perform within its specified parameters and operate as intended by the users of the device. As a result, its performance is deemed acceptable and substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
