System Operation

WARNING!
System error: Do not use the Aquilex System if a defect is suspected or detected
during the function check. This also applies to any obvious defects, especially de-
fects on the power connector or plug and power cord.
WARNING!
If the message “Check Scale Connection” appears, the deficit must be calculated
manually. The pump keeps displaying the last known deficit value determined
prior to the failure of the scale connection.
NOTE!
It is possible to change the containers and bags during surgery without losing
the previously measured deficit.
5.13 Changing Bags during Surgery
Bag change during surgery The device system detects automatically the replacement of a bag. Brief fluctua-
tions in the deficit calculation (< 10 s) may occur when a bag is replaced. The re-
placement of a bag is indicated with the message
Bag Change, Please Proceed .

Close the clamp of the empty bag.

Hang a new fluid bag to a hook of the bag scale.

Reconnect the new fluid bag with the inflow tube set.
WARNING!
Touching the bags and the hooks as well as vibrations of the balancing system
should be avoided during surgery to prevent false detection of the bag change
and not negatively affect the accuracy of the deficit calculation.
WARNING!
The empty bags should remain on the hooks so that the measurement accuracy
is not diminished.
WARNING!
Bags should be changed quickly to avoid affecting the accuracy of the deficit cal-
culation.
5.14 Changing Container during Surgery
Container change during surgery The device system detects automatically the replacement of a container. The
pump will stop immediately and the deficit display is locked to insure an accurate

may occur when a container is replaced. The replacement of a container is indi-
cated with the message
Container Change, Press Resume .

Disconnect tubing from full containers.

Immediately remove full containers from scale.

Install new containers.

Reconnect tubing to new containers.
