PACING
Seals that progress along a close-ended length of tubing, as in a segmenting process,
must be spaced no less than the blood bag manufacturers recommen- dation, to
avoid rupture of the tubing due to pressure build-up.
Seals that progress along an open-ended length of tubing may be spaced as
desired, but ½ inch (1 cm) is the recommended minimum.
Multiple seals in close proximity are not required, nor are they recommended
when using the Power Source. If multiple seals must be used, they should be
spaced at least one inch (2.5 cm) apart, as shown in Figure 3-4, Multiple Seal
Spacing.

Warning: Never attempt to make segmentation seals closer than recommended
without validating for seal integrity.
