be approved in writing by Terumo BCT.
2. Turn off the primary power switch and unplug the device before cleaning.

can clean the area around the valve with a cotton swab or by using a flossing technique.
4. Take adequate precautions when cleaning any surfaces of the device that might have been exposed
to blood to prevent possible exposure to and transmission of infectious diseases.

1. All electrical installations must comply with all applicable local electrical codes and the Quantum
system electrical specifications.
2. To avoid a serious shock, do not install the system on a workstation where fluid may accumulate.
3. Do not place open containers of fluid on the device. Fluid spills can contribute to electrical and
mechanical hazards.
4. If a spill occurs on the primary power switch or on the auxiliary power switch, unplug the device and
call your service representative. Do not touch the switch to turn off the power.

1. Follow your institution’s standard operating procedures for wearing personal protective equipment
when using the Quantum system.

disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations.
