ulrich medical is a German medical technology company from Ulm that is best known for contrast media injectors for CT and MRI. For hospitals and imaging centres in the UAE, the practical questions are what the portfolio includes, how the systems differ and how to buy and service them locally. This article summarises the ulrich medical products we distribute through Beckfinity and what to consider for each.
About ulrich medical in Ulm
ulrich medical develops and manufactures its products under one roof in Ulm, Germany, and traces its history back to 1912. Hospitals and radiology practices around the world have used its contrast media injectors for nearly 40 years.
The radiology portfolio is built around syringeless contrast media injectors for CT and MRI, which are also used for contrast-enhanced mammography. It is complemented by the SYNCopen scanner interface, the RIS/PACS Interface, the Contrast Booster for pulmonary CT and a contrast media heating cabinet. You can see the full range on the ulrich medical brand page.
ulrich medical injector range for CT
CT motion is a syringeless CT injector with a roll pump and 24-hour pump tubing; only the patient tubing is changed between patients. It has two contrast and one saline connection drawing from original containers of up to 500 ml, an integrated heater, dual air detection and system pressure up to 17 bar. Its enhanced sibling CT motion SPICY raises pressure to 22.4 bar and takes 1-litre contrast containers, with a pedestal or ceiling version.
Optional software adds scanner and IT integration: SYNCopen for one-touch simultaneous start of injector and scanner, and the RIS/PACS Interface for DICOM-based documentation. The overview of CT motion describes who each version suits.
For a busy department the practical advantages of the platform are consistent: a daily set rather than a per-patient syringe, automatic switchover between containers of the same contrast medium, and integrated air detection. Before you specify, list your scanner models, the maximum flow rates in your protocols and the container sizes your pharmacy supplies, and compare them against the pressure and container data above.
ulrich contrast injectors for MRI and mammography
The MRI line is cordless and uses a 24-hour Easy-Click-Cassette with an RFID chip that blocks reuse after 24 hours. Max 3 offers two contrast connections and one saline connection (CM-Loop, optional CM-Select), while the compact Max 2M has one contrast and one saline connection. Both are used for MRI, PET-MRI and contrast-enhanced mammography (CEDM/CESM), with a maximum system pressure of 14 bar.
Our articles on Max 3 and Max 2M compare them in detail.
MRI rooms add a different set of questions: the injector must be positioned in a controlled area, run from battery and communicate by Wi-Fi with the terminal. Ask the supplier about the labelling and zone placement for your magnet; this is covered in our article on MR safety.
Accessories: warming and breathing guidance
The Heating Cabinet warms contrast media between 30 and 70 °C in a 20-litre stainless-steel chamber with an alarm for malfunction. The Contrast Booster is a breathing-guidance device that standardises the Mueller maneuver in pulmonary CT angiography; according to the manufacturer it increases contrast density in the target vessels.
These products are optional, but they fit into the same workflow as the injector, so it is worth planning them together.
