Medical - Medical: Cardiology / Angiography
English term or phrase: puff mode
'Puff mode' describes a contrast media injector mode in which the angiographer can inject minute quantities of contrast media through the catheter by quickly pressing and releasing the inject button/pedal; used to determine position/orientation of catheter under fluoroscopy.

My first inclination was to write 'puffläge', but I hesitate.

Any better ideas?

Explanation:
Says perhaps more than "puffläge" and is a bit descriptive. But I like "puffläge" as well, its a funny word. Though, maybe its your own invention?
