4) Ensure DyeVert Power XT stopcock is oriented OFF towards the Catheter
Connection and ON to the Valve Selection Stopcock. (See Figure 1)
5) Using the power injector, inject saline or contrast through the DyeVert Power
XT system until all air is removed from the line and fluid exits the check valve
on the distal end of the DyeVert Power XT. NOTE: since this will prime
only one side of the DyeVert Power XT diversion line, continue with
steps 6-10 to prime the opposite side before use.
6) Turn the Valve Selection Stopcock to the other valve position. (See Figure 2)
Figure 2 – Alternate Diversion Path Priming
7) Using the power injector, inject saline or contrast through the DyeVert Power
XT until all air is removed from the line and fluid exits the check valve at the
distal end of the DyeVert Power XT.
8) Attach Contrast Collection Bag to the check valve located at the distal end of
the DyeVert Power XT. (See Figure 1)
9) Turn the DyeVert Power XT Stopcock OFF toward the Valve Selection
Stopcock. (See Figure 3)
10) Catheters and/or extension lines should be attached to the male rotating luer
on the DyeVert Power XT stopcock. Flush and prime catheters and lines per
normal operating procedure.

B. System Operation
1) DyeVert Valve Selection
a. Based on the catheter size being used for the procedure and
consistent with the fluid flow shown in Figure 1, orient the Valve
Selection Stopcock to the corresponding "4F & 5F" or "6F & 7F"
position. (See Figure 4)
Figure 4 – DyeVert Valve Selection
Note: If catheter size changes during the case – reorient Valve
Selection Stopcock as appropriate.
2) Contrast Injections
a. To save contrast during a contrast injection, orient the DyeVert Power
XT Stopcock such that it is ON to both the Valve Selection Stopcock and
the catheter. (See Figure 5)
Figure 5 – Contrast Injection (Savings ON)
b. Inject contrast per normal operating procedure.
3) Saline Flushing
a. If flushing with saline, turn DyeVert Power XT Stopcock OFF to the
Valve Selection Stopcock. (See Figure 6)
Figure 6 – Saline Flush (Savings OFF)
To allow contrast saving to resume, orient the DyeVert Power XT
Stopcock such that it is ON to both the Valve Selection Stopcock and
the catheter. (See Figure 7)
Figure 7 – Resume Savings
4) System Bypass
a. To bypass the DyeVert Power XT System (i.e. no diversion) orient the
DyeVert Power XT Stopcock to OFF to the Valve Selection Stopcock
(see Figure 8). The Power XT System should be bypassed for the
following instances: saline flush of catheters, use of saline flush,
automated infusion or KVO functions of the power injector, drug
delivery, or to improve pressure waveform
