9 Getting started
Getting started is grouped into 4 sections. Read through each section before
performing a procedure.
To achieve the greatest possible benefit the ASTOFLO PLUS ECO
should be set up close enough to the patient for the end of the flexible
heating profile to reach the point of injection.
The ASTOFLO PLUS ECO should be switched to
Heating Mode
before use so that the heating profile can heat up. The heating-up
process takes about 4 minutes at 20°C room temperature.
Do not position the device in a manner that is difficult to disconnect it
from mains by the mains plug.
