Page: 15 / 204

Cautions for Use
The following section includes a complete list of the cautions that apply to the use of the Quantum
system. Although the information may also appear in the other sections of this manual, operators should
read and understand the information in this list before using the system. For specific cautions about a
tubing set, refer to the instructions for use that ship with the tubing set.
System Cautions
1. Each operator should be thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions for the Quantum
system before using the device.
2. Do not adjust the gas flow control knob, or you may disrupt the pressure in the system. Only a
qualified service representative should adjust the gas flow.
3. The system does not produce an alarm when the gas supply is depleted; therefore, you must monitor
the gas supply throughout operation of the system.
4. Keep the network ports located on the front of the device covered to prevent fluid from entering.
5. The Quantum system is meant for indoor use only.
6. Do not use a stylus with the Quantum system touch screen.
7.
The temperature of the operating environment for the Quantum system should be maintained
between 16 °C and 27 °C (60.8 °F and 80.6 °F).
8.
The rotor cover on each pump must be closed and the rotor latch must be locked before you turn on
and operate the system.
9. At least two people are needed to lift the Quantum system. Use proper lifting techniques when
lifting the Quantum system.
10. Use only the cell expansion sets and the accessory sets that Terumo BCT manufactures for the
Quantum system.
11. Use only the accessory bags that Terumo BCT manufactures for the Quantum system. Using bags
of inappropriate size may cause excess pressure to accumulate in the system.
Service Cautions
1. To disinfect the device, use only a 0.25% sodium hypochlorite (bleach) solution. Using a stronger
bleach solution may damage or discolor the device.
2.
Do not lubricate the pumps or the pump rotors for any reason.
3.
Do not block access to the primary power switch, which is located on the back of the device, during
installation.
Cell Expansion Process Cautions
1. Use aseptic technique during cell expansion processes to ensure product quality.
2. When priming the cell expansion set, do not connect the fluids to the cell expansion set before you
are instructed to do so.
