IOM Sampling with the Gilian GilAir Plus Pump Procedure 
 
 

9

 

 

Post calibration 

1.  Turn pump on and set in run mode. Allow pump(s) to run for a few minutes 

before continuing to step 2.  

2.  Connect pump to calibrator tubing.  
3.  Follow instructions above for calibration.  
4.  Allow the piston to cycle 5-

10 times. Record “average” flow as post calibration 

reading.  

  To shut off calibrator, hold down power button until the screen turns off.  

  The calibrator should remain on charge at all times. 

 

Troubleshooting

 

The below screen will display if the pump faults during its run time. This can happen due 
to a kink in the tubing or if the inlet opening on side of pump becomes blocked. A 
flashing “red” light will appear when the pump faults. The time of the fault (when the run 
time ended) will be displayed. 

This can also be viewed under the “Review” tab on the 

main screen.
