19. Attach the hand syringe to the manifold and slowly draw saline
through the tubing to make sure all air is removed from the lines,
the transducer cartridge, and the manifold.
Tip:
The “start, stop, and go” technique often works well for
this. Start drawing saline until about 6 inches of saline is
in the tubing and then stop. After a brief pause, continue
slowly drawing the saline until the entire tubing is full.
Remember, drawing at a slow rate will help avoid the
formation of air bubbles in the tube.

either side of the pump.
22. Position the black v-teeth guides all the way to the bottom and
