On horizontal segment of IV pole:
To clamp the Return Flow Controller to the horizontal segment of the
IV pole, use only the top-mounted clamp as follows:
1
Unscrew the two thumb nuts (Figure 3-1) far enough that the
slotted top clamp bar pivots one-quarter turn. The bar clamps need
to be loose enough that their V-shaped slots fit over the IV pole.
2
Lift the Return Flow Controller to the desired position under the
IV pole.
3
Place the bottom clamp bar’s V-shaped slot against the bottom of
the IV pole.
4
Continue to unscrew the thumb nuts until you can pivot the top
clamp bar over the top of the IV pole and back over the threaded
post for the thumb nut.
5
Tighten the thumb nuts onto the top clamp bar. Ensure they are
tight enough so that the Return Flow Controller is secure.
The bag hooks on the IV pole prevent the Return Flow Controller from
sliding along the IV pole.
Caution: Mount the Return Flow Controller high enough to clear
the Spectra system control panel. This prevents damage to either
assembly when swiveling the control panel.
