Autoclavable cassettes must be cleaned and sterilised
according to the instructions on the packaging insert. After
multiple sterilisation processes, the cassettes and tubes will
show signs of ageing which will endanger the proper
functioning of the I/A system and may result in damage to the
unit due to the ingression of water.
IMPORTANT!
Reusable cassette sets must be replaced after 10 sterilisation
cycles!
IMPORTANT!
Single-use cassette sets must never be reused!
IMPORTANT!
Reusable cassettes must be clean and free from remnants of
silicone or visco substances, inside and outside, to avoid
false alarm of the liquid level indicator.
6.1 Installing the cassette
IMPORTANT!
Ensure that conditions are sterile when installing the tubing
system!
The ends of the instrument connection tubes must be kept in
the sterile area. The sterile person must not insert the tubes
into the unit!

Turn the cassette rotary switch in an anti-clockwise
direction and open the cassette door G1 downwards.
IMPORTANT!
Do not reach into the cassette opening (risk of injury!) Never
insert any kind of tool into the cassette opening (risk of
damage!)

Insert the cassette in the cassette opening (with the
tubes facing the operator). Lightly bend the tubes to the
right with the right hand, and use the left hand to close
the cassette door by pushing it upwards. Turn the
cassette rotary switch G in a clockwise direction until you
hear and feel it engage (horizontal position). The
cassette is now fully connected to the pump system.
The tubes must not be kinked nor trapped in the cassette
door!

Remove the protective cap 3a, and mount on emergency
discharge 4, then connect BSS connector 3 with the
giving set. Ensure sterility.
Note: Alternatively, the giving set can be attached to connector 3 in the sterile
area before the cassette is installed.

Check that cap 4 for emergency discharge and screw
cap 6 for emptying the cassette (autoclavable cassette
only) are screwed tightly shut.
The Ultrasound time will be reset after installation of the
cassette.
