If out of fluid, add additional fluid and
press REPRIME.
If the Reprime volume count does not
count down from 100 to 0 ml, then:
• Check the bags are fully spiked
and clamps are fully opened.
• Check that the pump head tubing
is not stretched and is seated
firmly within the fluid out sensor.
• Check the fluid out sensor and
make certain it is clean and there
is nothing obstructing contact with
the sensor.
• If there is fluid in the reservoir,
check the vacuum source.
Vacuum should not be more than
100 mmHg.
Reseat the tubing in the fluid out
detector and make certain that it is
seated firmly in the sensor.
High amounts of particulates may
clog the coarse filter in the reservoir.
Replace the reservoir if it is clogged.
Power down and service the machine
if error persists.
