b.
Patient Leakage Current:
i
Install the disposable set and prime with saline and proceed to the Infuse
screen.
ii.
Attach 12 to 16 gauge stainless steel cannula or hypodermic needle tip
to the end of patient line and attach the Safety Analyzer large clamp to
the cannula or needle tip.
iii.
Prime the FMS2000 with saline. Make sure that the entire patient line
including the cannula has been primed.
iv.
Repeat a.iii, and a.iv with the FMS2000 in the STANDBY, ON, and
pumping at 750 ml/min modes.
v.
Maximum leakage allowable is as follows:
With NORMAL NEUTRAL
Normal Polarity - Grounded (10 µA)
Reverse Polarity - Grounded (10 µA)
Reverse Polarity - Not Grounded (50 µA)
Normal Polarity - Not Grounded (50 µA)
With OPEN NEUTRAL
(Note: the system automatically switches to
battery at 50 ml/min.)
Normal Polarity - Grounded (50 µA)
Reverse Polarity - Grounded (50 µA)
