Figure 1. Infusion Device Connections to the Product
The channel 4 inlet shown in Figure 1, shows a 20 ml syringe attached to one 3-way
stopcock inlet. The syringe can be used to help priming. It can be used as shown or can
be connected further away from the inlet to help for flow tests. The syringe can be shared
among the channels and removed after the channel is primed.
Follow these recommendations when you connect to the inlet tubing circuits:
•
Use adequate prime volumes (for example, 10 ml) to push through any bubbles.
•
Use the stopcocks at the inlet to prevent fluid backflow out of inlets between tests.
•
When you connect to the inlet circuits (for example, when you attach the priming
syringes to the stopcocks) make sure no new bubbles are introduced.
