Preparing to Perform a Procedure
Priming the Tubing Set
Follow the instructions on the screen to prime the tubing set. The progress of the prime is displayed on the screen.
After the AC line is primed, the system sounds a tone to notify you to open the inlet saline line and the return saline
line in order for the prime to continue. Before the system primes the channel, it performs a test to verify that the
correct filler is installed.
The Exchange Set and the Collection Set are primed in 3 to 4 minutes. The IDL Set is primed in approximately
9 minutes. When the system finishes priming the set, it sounds a tone. The patient data screen appears.
Note:
The AC line is not used during a BMP procedure.
Note:
The menu buttons at the top of the screen are active so that you may enter or change the patient data or the
procedure data during the prime.
