Emptying and Changing the Waste Bag
NOTE:
When emptying/changing waste bag, do not lose the displacement air from the system; if this occurs, the bowl may not empty properly.
To ensure this does not happen do not empty the waste bag below the indicated line.
Various methods may be used to empty the contents of the waste bag or change the waste bag during a procedure.
Here are some precautions.
Emptying the waste bag:
Drain waste fluid into empty container (such as irrigation solution bottles) for discard.
NOTE:
Unless the bowl is completely empty, keep fluid level in the waste bag above the 1 liter mark on the waste bag.
This prevents loss of displacement air.
Changing the waste bag:
To prevent loss of displacement air, the waste bag can be changed ONLY at the end of the EMPTY cycle.
You should only change the waste bag when there are no RBC's in the bowl. If there are RBC's in the bowl,
press return so that they are returned to the reservoir.
Prior to removing the full waste bag, touch
Start/Pause
to ensure that processing does not begin.
Once new bag is installed, touch
Start/Pause
to resume.
