Set up the Sterisart
®
universal pump ergonomically in a suitable area (cleanroom,
laminar flow work bench, isolator) .
Before initial start-up, the accessories supplied must be assembled on the Sterisart
®
Universal pump . Please proceed in the following order:
– At the back left, push the support rod (Fig .1, 7) onto the pin of the upper part of the
pump until it is firmly in place . The holes in the foot of the support rod allow the
positioning of the support rod to be altered .
– Fasten the bottle holder (Fig . 1, 8) and the fastening arm (Fig . 1, 9) to the support
rod . If necessary, attach the ampoule breaker (Fig . 1, 10) beforehand .
– Insert the bow (Fig . 1, 4) and the clamping lever (Fig . 1, 3) on the corresponding
bolts on the top of the pump . The lever is jacketed in a plastic sleeve, which can be
removed for cleaning . If signs of wear appear on this sleeve after it has been in use
for some time, it can be re-ordered as a spare part (see chapter “Ordering informa-
tion for the Sterisart
®
Universal Pump”) .
– After connecting the drain tubing to the barb (Fig . 1, 12) of the container for drain-
ing (Fig . 1, 11); attach the container for draining to the appropriate bolts on the
right handle (Fig . 1, 5) . The container for draining and the cover plate are attached
by moving the tilting lock .
– Fasten the end of the drain tubing to the appropriate drain .
Very Important Note!
Always make sure that there is a sufficient liquid level differential (> 5 cm) bet-
ween the container for draining and the drain . This makes safe drainage possible
and prevents backflow into the container for draining . Make sure that the drain
tubing is kept lower than the pump to prevent the drain pan from overflowing .
Treat the waste as a biohazard . Only dispose of it in accordance with current
regulations .
– Plug the foot switch into the designated socket located on the rear panel (see Fig . 2,
4) . Fasten the plug to the socket by turning it clockwise .
– Plug the power cable into the male power socket on the back of the Sterisart
®
Universal pump and into a grounded electrical outlet (Fig . 2, 3) .
– Use the On|Off switch (Fig . 2, 2) at the rear side of the Sterisart
®
Universal pump to
turn it on .
