NOTE: The inflow door locking device must be secure. If the door is not closed
securely an internal safety switch prevents the AR-6480 from operating.
6. Puncture the fluid bags with the spikes on the tubing. If only one fluid
bag is being used, seal the second fluid line by closing the clamp nearest
to the unused spike.
4.9 How to Set Up the Two-Piece Tubing System
NOTE: These instructions describe the procedure for setting up the AR-6421,
AR-6425, or AR-6220.
WARNING!
The extension, patient, and/or outflow tubing must be changed for new each
patient and/or procedure.
1. The surgical staff removes the sterile extension or patient tubing from
its sterile pack and hands the connector [h or k] for the pump tubing set
to the circulating nurse.
2. The circulating nurse connects the two tubing systems together [h to h
in Figure 5 or k to k in Figure 6].
3. At the end of each case, detach the extension or patient tubing set and
attach the sterile connector cap (supplied with each extension or patient
tubing set) to the patient-end of the pump tubing.
NOTE: Following each surgery, detach and discard the extension or patient
tubing set.
WARNING!
The sterile connector cap must be used to cover the pump tubing set connector
after each surgical procedure. This maintains sterility of the pump tubing and
ensures its safe operation throughout the entire surgical day.
4.10 How to Set Up the Outflow Tubing
1. Open the outflow door completely.
2. Place looped tubing around the roller assembly.
3. Pull outflow fixture [E] down until it slides into the outflow tubing
receiver.
4. If the pump is on, the pump should now detect the tubing and change
the pump setting to inflow and outflow controls.
5. Close the outflow door.
