Monitor the fluid lines to insure they are air
free. Never administer fluids if there are air
bubbles in the line between the bubble trap
and the patient connector.
•
Monitor the fluid level in the bubble trap
frequently. Bubbles released during heating
are captured in the trap. To refill the trap,
insert a sterile syringe into the valve and draw
air out until the trap is (2/3) full. Do not allow
the bubble trap to go below one-quarter
(1/4) full.
•
The bubble trap must be kept mounted and
in the vertical position at all times.
Failure to follow the above warnings
could result in the introduction of air to
the patient. Introduction of air to the
patient could result in death or serious
injury.
