Bayer End-of-Life Resources

Bayer is leaving. SEVA is staying.

Bayer has end-of-lifed four contrast injector product lines across angiography, CT, and MR. Two are already past their cutoff. Two more follow on 12/31/2028. SEVA supplies compatible disposables for the equipment your department already owns, with no forced capital event and no bundling.

Bayer's Own Words

Four letters. One pattern.

The strongest evidence of Bayer's end-of-life strategy is Bayer's own communications to customers. SEVA quotes these letters directly, with full attribution and document references.

The pattern is consistent across all four: Bayer announces end of life, names the upgrade product, and directs the customer to a Bayer sales representative. The upgrade products carry new proprietary disposables and new capital requirements. SEVA's offer is the alternative Bayer does not name.

MEDRAD® Mark V ProVis
Past · 12/31/2025
"After December 31, 2025, Bayer will no longer offer service, including preventative maintenance, equipment calibration, replacement parts and technical support, or consumables for the installed base of the MEDRAD® Mark V ProVis systems in the US."
Source: Bayer Product End of Life Notification, June 2024. Document reference PP-M-PRV-US-0044-1. Signed by Jill Carbone, Head US Product & Pipeline, Radiology. Recommended upgrade: MEDRAD® Mark 7 Arterion. Quoted for informational purposes; SEVA Devices is not affiliated with Bayer.
SEVA's position: Angiography injection kits and tubing for Mark V ProVis continue. Supply uninterrupted past Bayer's EOL date. Facilities currently sourcing can contact SEVA directly.
MEDRAD® Spectris Solaris MR
Past · 12/31/2025
"After December 31, 2025, Bayer will no longer offer service, including preventative maintenance, equipment calibration, replacement parts and technical support, or consumables for the installed base of the MEDRAD® Spectris Solaris systems in the US. This notification does not apply to the MEDRAD® Spectris Solaris EP MR Injection Systems."
Source: Bayer Product End of Life Notification, June 2024. Document reference PP-MRD-US-0050-1. Signed by Jill Carbone, Head US Product & Pipeline, Radiology. Recommended upgrade: MEDRAD® MRXperion. Note: this EOL explicitly does not apply to the Spectris Solaris EP MR variant. Quoted for informational purposes; SEVA Devices is not affiliated with Bayer.
SEVA's position: MR syringes for the original Spectris Solaris MR platform continue. Supply uninterrupted past the 12/31/2025 cutoff. Note this is a separate EOL from the Spectris Solaris EP MR, which has its own 2028 date.
MEDRAD® Stellant Classic CT
EOL · 12/31/2028
"After December 31, 2028, Bayer will no longer offer service, including preventative maintenance, equipment calibration, replacement parts and technical support, or consumables for the installed base of the MEDRAD® Stellant Classic CT Injection Systems in the US."
Source: Bayer Product End of Life Notification, October 2024. Document reference PP-CTD-US-0219-1. Signed by Jill Carbone, Head US Product & Pipeline, Radiology. Recommended upgrade: MEDRAD® Stellant FLEX with Certegra® Workstation. Note: the coverage renewal window closed 12/31/2025. Quoted for informational purposes; SEVA Devices is not affiliated with Bayer.
SEVA's position: CT syringes for Stellant Classic remain available and will continue past the 12/31/2028 OEM cutoff. Facilities can begin evaluating SEVA now to complete VAC review well ahead of the deadline.
MEDRAD® Spectris Solaris EP MR
EOL · 12/31/2028
Spectris Solaris EP MR, including the EP Mobile variant, follows the same Bayer end-of-life template with a 12/31/2028 cutoff. Service, parts, and consumables discontinued after that date. Bayer's recommended upgrade is MEDRAD® MRXperion.
Source: Bayer customer communications, 2024. The Spectris Solaris EP MR EOL is separate from and later than the original Spectris Solaris MR EOL (12/31/2025). These are two distinct platforms with distinct cutoff dates. SEVA Devices is not affiliated with Bayer.
SEVA's position: MR syringes for Spectris Solaris EP MR and EP Mobile continue past the 12/31/2028 OEM cutoff. Same evaluation and contracting process as Stellant Classic.
The Bayer Playbook

A four-stage squeeze. With a way out.

Bayer's EOL letters are not isolated product lifecycle events. They follow a deliberate four-stage sequence, each stage tightening a department's available options. Understanding the sequence helps radiology administrators plan ahead.

Stage 01
Closed 12/31/2025

Coverage Renewal

The final opportunity to purchase full-service support coverage for affected platforms. This window has already closed for all four EOL platforms.

Stage 02
2026 Onward

Limited Service

Reduced service options. Parts availability declines. Bayer applies increasing pressure to begin the upgrade conversation. This is the current window for Stellant and Spectris EP facilities.

Stage 03
Before 12/31/2028

Forced Upgrade

Migrate to Stellant FLEX or MRXperion. New proprietary disposables. New capital outlay per injector head. Replacement injectors run $20,000 to $50,000 per unit. No clinical differentiation from existing equipment.

Stage 04
After 12/31/2028

End of Life

No Bayer service. No parts. No consumables. No support. Equipment becomes unsupported without an independent disposables supplier. SEVA supplies past this date.

SEVA's Position

Keep your equipment. Keep imaging.

SEVA's offer to a Stellant-, Spectris Solaris-, or ProVis-equipped facility is the inverse of Bayer's. No forced capital event. No new proprietary lock-in. No clinical disruption.

  • Keep your existing equipment operational SEVA-supplied syringes and disposables for Stellant Classic, Spectris Solaris MR, Spectris Solaris EP MR, and Mark V ProVis. Same injector. Same workflow. Same imaging performance.
  • No capital outlay The injector your department already owns continues to function. No $20,000 to $50,000 per-head replacement cost. No multi-room capital event. No budget cycle disruption.
  • No proprietary lock-in SEVA's products are not bundled with contrast media and not tied to a closed platform. Your existing contrast relationships are unaffected. Pricing is negotiated directly.
  • No clinical disruption Same load procedure. Same technologist training. Same imaging protocol. SEVA syringes are validated for drop-in compatibility with the existing injector head. Nothing changes in the suite.
  • Predictable, direct pricing Transparent per-unit and per-study pricing. No bundling. No contrast media tie-in. GPO access via HPG for member facilities. Direct contracting for all others.
Platform Transition Guides

Your platform. Your guide.

Four injector-specific transition guides, one for each Bayer EOL platform. Present-tense for platforms already past their cutoff. Forward-looking for platforms approaching 2028. Each guide covers SEVA's supply commitment, compatibility details, and the evaluation process.

Angiography
Past EOL · 12/31/2025

Mark V ProVis Transition Guide

Written in the present tense because the EOL date has passed. Facilities operating Mark V ProVis equipment are actively sourcing alternative disposables now. SEVA is the answer.

Stellant Classic CT Transition Guide

Facilities on Stellant Classic have until 12/31/2028 before Bayer ends service and consumables. The time to evaluate SEVA is now, ahead of the 2027 to 2028 surge in competing demand for alternatives.
