Standard tube system (a) composed of a syringe for contrast media, a syringe for saline solution, a T-shaped connector tube with re-filling lines, a spiral infusion line, and the patient line.
Novel tube system (b, d) composed of a syringe for contrast media, a syringe for saline solution (similar to a), a fluid transfer set for re-filling, a T-shaped connector tube, and a spiral patient line with shielded screw connectors (c; b #). Check walves within the tube system are marked by an asterisk (*).
