Extracorporeal Circuit Preparation and Line Connection - Attaching the Heparin Syringe
1. Attach the prepared syringe to the heparin line.
2. Prime the heparin line with the solution up to the point where the
arterial blood line starts. The luer lock must be properly attached.
3. Close the clamp on the heparin line.
4. Press the end of the piston on the heparin pump and pull out the
piston to extend it as much as possible.
Note: The locking wheel must be fully turned downwards
before you can insert the syringe into the heparin pump.
5. Insert the syringe into the pump. The plastic collar at the end of the
syringe must fit in the grooves of the pump. When using a syringe
with total volume less than 20 mL, a heparin pump adapter must be
installed to accommodate the syringe.
6. Push the piston back to its original position and insert the plastic flat
head of the plunger into the groove next to the locking wheel.
7. Turn the locking wheel upwards until you feel resistance.
8. Gently pull the plunger to check that the syringe is properly attached.
