When using the air bubble detector function, confirm that the setup of the air bubble detector function is on. (Refer to “Confirming
the Setup” (page 48).)
1. Release the latch of the clamp-on ABD/Flow sensor
(Figure 1-34
a
), open the lid (Figure 1-34
b
), and then
apply vaseline to the detection window of the ABD/Flow
Sensor.

• Do not attach the ABD/Flow Sensor to any tube other than the dedicated tube (internal diameter: 9.5 mm (3/8 inches)). If a
tube other than the dedicated tube is used, this may result in decreased performance.
• The air bubble detector function is intended to detect air bubbles entering the blood inlet line. Therefore when the air
bubble detector function turns on, attach the ABD/Flow Sensor at the blood inlet port of the centrifugal pump. As air
bubbles entering the blood inlet line are destroyed and dispersed by the centrifugal pump, the air bubbles may not be
detected if the ABD/Flow Sensor is attached at the blood outlet line.
Cautions
Attaching the ABD/Flow Sensor
• When attaching the ABD/Flow Sensor, apply enough vaseline to evenly
coat the detection window of the clamp-on ABD/Flow sensor. If the amount
of vaseline applied is insufficient, the Flow Signal Unstable Alarm may be
issued and air bubbles may not be detected.
Warning
• Do not operate the centrifugal pump without filling the pump with liquid
beforehand. Damage may occur to the rotary sliding part.
• When attaching or detaching the centrifugal pump to or from the Drive Motor,
confirm that the Drive Motor is stopped.
• Attach the centrifugal pump so as not to let the fixed hook and the
extracorporeal circulation circuit connection part interfere. The fixed hook or
centrifugal pump may be damaged. (Figure 1-33)
• When attaching the centrifugal pump to the Drive Motor, confirm that the
bottom surface of the centrifugal pump is in close contact with the pump
receptacle and that the slide hook is securely in position. If rotation starts
while the slide hook is not secured due to residue of blood and drug solution,
the centrifugal pump may detach from the pump receptacle.
