Exchange Procedures: Using a Blood Warmer on the Replace Line
1
Load the blood warmer tubing set onto the blood warmer. Be sure to leave enough tubing on each end of the
set to allow connection to the replace line.
2
Clamp one end of the blood warmer tubing set.
3
Clamp both replace lines.
4
Unscrew the luer connector on the replace line.
5
Connect the female end of the luer connector on the blood warmer tubing set to the male end of the luer
connector on the replace line.
6
Spike the replacement fluid container with the replace line and squeeze the drip chamber.
7
Unclamp both replace lines to prime the lines and fill the drip chamber on the second replace line.
8
Reclamp the second replace line.
9
Unclamp the blood warmer tubing set and prime the tubing set.
10
Reclamp the blood warmer tubing set.
11
Connect the male end of the luer connector on the blood warmer tubing set to the female end of the luer
connector on the replace line.
12
Put the replace line into the replacement fluid detector so that the luer connector is below the fluid detector
and the manifold is above the fluid detector. The luer connector must be positioned below the replacement
fluid detector.
13
Unclamp the blood warmer tubing set.
14

.
Note:
If you are performing a TPE-SPD procedure and used the system to prime the plasma device, the saline
container on the replace line must contain a volume equal to or greater than the volume of the blood warmer tubing set
in order to completely prime the tubing set.
Note:
Ensure that you put the luer connector below the replacement fluid detector. If the blood warmer tubing set is
not positioned below the fluid detector and the tubing fills with air during the procedure, you must disconnect the blood
warmer tubing set at the luer connector and manually reprime the set. If you do not reprime the set, the vent bag could
overfill with air.
