INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION
Hardware Installation
1. Set the MPS-4 perfusion stand on a stable platform.
2. Insert the stainless steel post into the base and tighten the screw.
3. Loosen the screw on the back of the valve console and fix it onto the post. Set
the distance between the valve console center point and top of the post to the
desired height.
4. Fasten the syringe holder onto the post.
5. Connect the valve console to the
MPS-4 instrument with the cable supplied.
6. Pull out of the plungers of the syringes and put the syringes into the syringe
holder.
7. Connect the 3-way stopcocks to the syringes.
8. Cut a 20cm long section of the color-coded polyurethane tubing. Split it to 8
individual tubes and put the luer fitting to one end. Connect the luer fitting to the
3-way stopcock.
9. Connect the other ends of the eight tubes to the inputs of the valve console.
10. Split one end of the long color-coded polyurethane tubing for about 15cm.

rod. The female luer port may be damaged by the force applied to the manifold
when attaching the 8 ends of the tubing.
