On right vertical segment of IV pole:
To clamp the Return Flow Controller to the right vertical segment of the
IV pole (Figure 3-2), use both of the Return Flow Controller’s back-
mounted clamps as follows:
1
Unscrew the two thumb nuts on both clamp bars (Figure 3-2) until
the slotted back clamp bars pivot one-quarter turn. The bar clamps
need to be loose enough that their V-shaped slots fit over the IV
pole.
2
Lift the Return Flow Controller to the desired position against the
right vertical segment of the IV pole.
3
Place the front clamp bars’ V-shaped slots against the front of the IV
pole.
4
Continue to unscrew the thumb nuts until you can pivot the back
clamp bars over the back of the IV pole and back over the threaded
posts for the thumb nuts.
5
Tighten the thumb nuts onto the back clamp bars. Ensure they are
tight enough so that the Return Flow Controller is secure.
In other positions:
If installing the Return Flow Controller in another position, or setting it
on its rubber feet on a nearby surface, ensure the distance between the
return air chamber (to which the Single-Needle bag is attached) and the
right side of the Return Flow Controller is no more than 3 feet. This
prevents stretching of the tubing.

Caution: To avoid damage to the Return Flow Controller when it
is mounted on a vertical segment of the Spectra system IV pole,
rotate the Return Flow Controller inward and check door
clearances when moving the system. Rotate the unit outward
again for use.
