Why not just inject 1 or 2 cc of contrast, by itself, first?
It should be obvious as hell if you inject 1 or 2 cc of contrast into the IVC which is huge. I'm not sure why you'd need to also inject epi, directly into the biggest vein of the body which tracks directly to the heart. If anything, I'd be worried about triggering an arrhythmia or coronary vasospasm. Pretty much the only situation you want to inject epi directly IV is in cardiac arrests or shock. Even in anaphylaxis it's recommend you give it subcu or IM, not IV.
Maybe your dose is small enough, but personally, I don't like the idea of injecting cardiotoxic epi IV, as a way to determine if you've accidentally given cardiotoxic bupivicane IV, when it's so easy to determine the same thing with omnipaque which is cardio-inert.
Safety of epinephrine for anaphylaxis in the emergency setting

When is IV dosing of epinephrine in anaphylaxis appropriate?
While guidelines recommend that epinephrine be given via IM injection for the initial treatment of anaphylaxis,[8] IV delivery should be considered in special circumstances such as severely hypotensive patients, patients in cardiac or respiratory arrest, or those who have failed to respond to multiple IM injections of epinephrine.
