Setting Up LifePort Kidney Transporter
CAUTION:
LifePort Kidney Transporter weighs 45 lbs (20.4 kg) fully loaded. Use proper lifting
procedures to avoid injury.
1. Holding the handles, lift LifePort Kidney Transporter and place on its home base station table or
countertop so that the Outer Display is easily accessible and facing you.
2. Unlatch and remove LifePort Kidney Transporter Cover and store it nearby.
3. Complete your review of LifePort Kidney Transporter—making sure that it is complete, secure and
intact and that nothing appears broken—before starting these tests.
Filling the Ice Container
1.
Open the Ice Container Lid and fill it with crushed or cubed ice, making sure to push the ice as far as
possible into the ice bath.
2. Pour about 1.0 Liter of cold water (less than 10°C) into the Ice Container, which will gradually loosen
the ice.
3.
Add more ice and another 0.5-1.0 Liter water until the Ice Container is filled with an ice and water
mixture, maximizing the amount of ice added.
4. Close and lock the Ice Container Lid.
Loading the Perfusion Circuit
NOTE:
For detailed instructions, refer to the document LifePort Kidney Transporter Disposable Kidney
Perfusion Circuit Instructions For Use.
1. Unpack a sterile Perfusion Circuit and assemble the Circuit into LifePort Kidney Transporter. Be sure
to position and secure the Tubeframe on the Pump Deck so that the tubing mates properly with the
Pump, valves and sensors.
2. Place the sealed Perfusion Circuit in the Ice Container. The Tubeframe must be perpendicular to the
Pump Deck and the hinges must be positioned inside of the receivers on the Pump Deck.
3.
Rotate the Tubeframe flat onto the Pump Deck.
