Caution!
The pump must only be operated
with the tubing inserted and only
by one person at a time. No corro-
sive or explosive fluids may be
pumped! Close-fitting clothing
must be worn (no ties, etc.).
To be able to operate the pump,
Sterisart sterility test systems must
be installed beforehand. To do this,
follow the steps given below:
Remove the sterility test systems
from their respective packaging and
place the sterility test sample con-
tainers in the container for draining
on the right side of the pump.
– Now open the lever and the bow.
– Keep the tubing around the rotor
of the pump (the arrow on the fixed
part surrounding the pump head
indicates the subsequent direction
of rotation), so that no kinks occur
and the tubing is not under tension
(Fig. 3). The tubing is attached by
simply inserting it (with it lying on
the ground) and fastening the lever
(Fig. 4). In this way, the tubing is
automatically correctly positioned.
Important Note!
When threading the tubing, make
sure that it is not kinked or twisted.
– To start the pumping process, the
tubing must be fully inserted and
the lever must be engaged. A safety
function ensures that the pump
does not start if the lever or the
bow are open.
– After threading the tubing and
closing the lever, insert the removal
spike/needle of the Sterisart
®
NF
system as described in the instruc-
tions for the Sterisart
®
NF sterility
test system. Then attach the test
liquid container (e.g., bag or bottle)
by hanging it on the support rod
(bag) or by placing it in the holding
ring on the support rod (bottle).
The holding ring accepts bottles of
various sizes. The holder must be
turned so that the sterility test sys-
tem tubing is not under tension
after the spike | needle has been
inserted and so that the spike |
needle cannot slip out of the con-
tainer.
For testing ampoules, an ampoule
breaker is also attached to the sup-
port rod. Use the integrated knife to
scratch the neck of the ampoule,
then snap off the top. The broken-
off top of the ampoule falls into
the collection container (which can
be emptied later).
– For the following pumping process,
make sure that the Sterisart
®
NF
sample containers are correctly
positioned in the intended holders,
and that the tubing has been
inserted without tension or kinking.
Important Note!
When the lever is opened, the
Sterisart
®
Universal pump is turned
off immediately by a safety func-
tion. In this event, the Sterisart
®
Universal pump can be restarted
after adequately closing all
components.
