Chapter 2. Basic Operation

Priming Pump Sets WITH a Drip Chamber

1

Push down on the flow stop 

 to 

close the cassette.

2

Insert the piercing pin into the 

container. Suspend the container 

on an I.V. Pole. 

3

Squeeze the drip chamber until 

filled halfway.

4

Push down on the flow stop 

 to 

open (priming position) the 

cassette.

5

Ensure the CAIR (roller) clamp is 

open prior to inserting cassette.

6

Invert the cassette approximately 

45°.

WARNING: Failure to use the pressure-activated anti-siphon valve 

may result in unrestricted flow if the cassette is not 

properly installed in the pump.

When using a vented chamber, ALWAYS use an 

air-eliminating filter OR set the air sensitivity to 

either ON or 2 mL.
