PVC tubing size categories
Shown in Table 2-2 are typical recommended size categories and
corresponding dimension ranges of PVC tubing which can be sealed with the
Power Source.
Note: Sealing modes (see “Sealing modes” on page 2-9) are defined for each
category of tubing size. Be sure the category of tubing size being sealed is
determined and the sealing mode guidelines are checked before using the
Sealer (Table 2-2).

Sealing modes
"Intermittent" mode refers to a sealing process in which no more than 5 seals
are produced rapidly (as quickly as the Sealer can normally produce for the
tubing size being used) within a minimum 1 minute time period. For example,
if it takes 10 seconds to produce 5 seals, then the Sealer must sit idle for at
least 50 seconds. This sealing mode may be used for tubing of ALL sizes.
"Continuous" mode refers to a sealing process in which seals are made at
regularly spaced time intervals for an extended period. This mode may be used
for tubing of MEDIUM (typically, blood bag tubing) size only.
Note: To perform continuous sealing on tubing of SMALL and LARGE sizes, a
different sealer may be required. Contact Vante for more information.
"Maximum" mode, which may be used for tubing of MEDIUM and LARGE sizes
only, refers to sealing in which a prescribed maximum number of seals is made
at a rapid, repetitive rate, followed by a specified period of no Sealer activity.
Note: To perform maximum sealing on tubing of small size, a different sealer
may be required. Contact Vante for more information.
