3. Operation & System Set-up
3-29
RECIRC
Sets the system into the Recirculation mode to remove air in
the line and to preheat the reservoir chamber and disposable
set. The valve shuts off the infuse line to the patient and sends
the fluid to recirculate through the system at a preset rate of
200 ml/min. Recirculation will automatically stop and sound a
beep after 5 minutes.
STOP
Halt the pumping and heating. Status display continues to be
active.
CAUTION:
The system can infuse fluid at rates up to 750 ml per
minute with 1000
ml/min option
. A unit of blood will be emptied in less than one minute at
this rate.
CAUTION:
Routinely check patient and system parameters, on screen. Respond to
and correct system alarms.
Replace the reservoir chamber or disposable set when the filter becomes
clogged. The Fluid Out alarm will occur when the flow through the filter is
restricted. If it becomes occluded the fluid out sensor will activate, an
audible alarm will sound, a message “Fluid out, Check inlet tubing and
filter. Add more fluid” will appear and the pump will stop.
