Many many years ago, that very thing happened to me. The doctor came in, used the 21G straight needle (ouch!) to inject the dye in the antecubital. I started taking my pictures and everything was just fine. 45 seconds go by; 60 seconds go by, 90 seconds and still no dye. As I am franticly checking settings, power, filters he is asking why there is no dye. Everything was set properly, patient had absolutely no signs of infiltration, no pain anywhere in their arm, shoulder or lower part of the arm. The doctor had no idea why there would not be any dye, he said he got it in the vein. He ended up re-injecting in another vein, and what do you know. A perfect FA transit! We chalked it up to the bizarre category. I have never seen that since.

All camera functions we're verified and set correctly and the Color fundus and redfree images we're good. Just curious.
