Preventing microbial contamination during radiological imaging: Experimental evaluation of a multiuse contrast media infusion system incorporating sequential one-way valves within a dual-safety design
The system's design, including sequential dual 1-way valves effectively prevented bacterial and viral contamination under laboratory conditions. These findings support its potential for safe multiuse in radiological settings.
