NOTE:
Do NOT connect yourself until
CONNECT YOURSELF appears on the
display screen.
WARNING
Failure to open the clamp on the patient line after connecting the
solution bags will prevent the patient line from being primed. This
can cause air to be delivered to you during FILL 1.
If CONNECT YOURSELF appears on the display screen and you find the
clamp is still closed, do NOT connect yourself. Instead, open the clamp
and reprime the patient line. (See 11.8.1, Reprime the Patient Line , on
page 11-23.) If you have already connected yourself and find the
clamp is still closed, start a Manual Drain before you open the clamp.
The Manual Drain procedure is located in 18.5, Manual Drain
Procedure , on page 18-53.
