Important!
To clean the Fluidic Unit, wipe the outside with an alcohol soaked paper towel. Never spray
disinfectant directly on the unit, which could damage the valve electronics.
3.3.1
The Valve Block
The valve block (V1) is located on top of the aluminum block of the Fluidic Unit. The function of the
valve is to guide the air pressure either to the right or left reservoir. The valve block is a magnetic
valve. Be careful not to draw any liquid into this valve!
3.3.2
The Pinch Valve
The pinch valve (V2) at the front of the Fluidic Unit squeezes the tubing that is inserted into its slots
with a movable bar, pinching off the inserted tubing parts and thus blocking fluid flow. The valve
has four slots (two forward and two rear slots), so that four pieces of tubing can be inserted at once.
Either the front or the rear tubing parts are closed at a time (two switching states).
Important!
Be aware that the pinch valve can wear out over time. The performance of the valve can be
checked as follows: Perform the pinch test and observe the actuation of the bar in the pinch valve.
If you see the bar moving inside the valve and the pinch test is ok, the valve works properly. If
not, contact ibidi or your local supplier for repair.
