This chapter describes the use of the instrument.
WARNINGS T-SEAL MOBILE uses radio frequency (RF) energy to generate heat
for sealing. Users should be cautious of potential electrical shocks or
hazards while handling this sealer. Always keep your fingers away
from the electrodes in the slot. Never place any object other than the
tube between the electrodes.
This machine emits a low level of electromagnetic (non-ionizing)
radiation while sealing. It should not be used near high frequency
sensitive electronic equipment.
See table 1 for guidance.
Do not allow the Hand unit to come directly in contact with the donor.
Do not perform a seal within 8 cm (3 in) of needle to preclude an RF
burn at the needle entry point.
CAUTIONS Inspect all parts of the instrument for defects before use. Check
sealing pattern if Hand unit is dropped.
Always check the seals when the battery capacity is low (20% or
less).
7.1 Preparation before Use
1. Place the instrument on a flat surface near the working place or in the holster.
2. Check that there is sufficient battery capacity by pushing the “TEST” button.
3. Connect the Hand unit cable into the combined Hand unit/Battery charger cable
connector.
NOTE Do not try to connect other sealers to the T-SEAL MOBILE Battery
unit than the Terumo BCT T-SEAL MOBILE Hand unit.
7.2 How to Seal Tubes
1 Put the tube to be sealed down to the bottom of the slot in the Hand unit.
2 Check that the tube is placed between the electrodes in the slot.
3 Press the trigger to bring the two electrodes closer together until the light on top of the
Hand unit comes on. The sealing time is normally 0.4 to 0.9 seconds; after a
maximum of 3 seconds the RF is turned off.
4 When the light goes out, sealing is finished. Release the trigger and remove the tubing.
5 The center of the sealed pattern is very thin and pulling both sides will divide the tube
into two pieces.
6 Check the tube for leakage.
CAUTION If you should make two or more seals, they should not be within 1 cm
(0.4 in) of each other, otherwise the resulting pressure in the tube
may cause microscopic cracks and holes in the seals.
