CAUTION:
The sealing region
must
open facing upward so the operator may ensure
that the tubing is fully seated between the RF jaw and ground jaw and
clearly observe the sealing indicator lamp on the sealing head.
WARNING
:
Do NOT pull the tubing through the sealing region. Under
no
circumstances should the tubing be pulled at the instant of sealing.
This may cause an opening in the tubing, which will subject the media
to non-sterile conditions and the user to potentially hazardous fluids.
In addition, the sealing head may become damaged by arcing caused
by contamination of the sealing region.
WARNING
:
Do not place fingers in close proximity to the sealing region while
sealing. Radio frequency burns may occur.
Figure 2.4 Incorrect Technique for Holding the Sealing Head
To make a seal, squeeze the lever until it touches the sealing head body, and hold it there
(see Figure 2.5). This compresses the tubing and activates the sealing energy, visually
indicated by the illumination of the sealing indicator light.
Continue to squeeze the lever
for two seconds after the sealing indicator light completely extinguishes
. Holding the
lever closed will
not
cause overheating or burn-through of the tubing.
