run)
Circulation pump runs but
simulated blood does not
flow.
Flash-back of the simulated
blood is not seen.
The simulated blood heavily
leaks from around the
puncture unit.
Bubbles appear in the
simulated blood in the tubes.
Power plug is not properly connected to
the power source.
Reset the connection following the instruction
manual.

Make a little distance between the ends of suction
and discharge tubes.
Discharge the air by tilting the pump as shown by
the illustration.
Make the pulse pressure weak (turn the knob
counter-clockwise), and run the pump until the
bubbles come off. Then return the pulse pressure
to an appropriate strength.
Simulated blood leaks from
the simulator base or pump.
Trouble
shooting
The tip of the suction / discharge tube is
out of the simulated blood.
Put in the tips of the both tubes to the simulated
blood.
(see page
