3. Operation & System Set-up
3-34
• If the system ever needs to be restarted from power off after the initial startup,
follow the same procedure and precautions as the initial startup to restart the
system. The Main System Prime and Patient Line Prime cannot be bypassed.
• The volume accounting information on the VOL status line in the Main Infuse
screen will be reset to 0 each time the system is restarted after a power down.
CAUTION:
With fluid in the disposable set and the system not powered on,
the patient line clamped closed when opening the door to prevent
uncontrolled fluid flow.
EMERGENCY MANUAL OPERATION
In the event the system is not operational during a procedure, fluid can be infused
manually on an emergency basis using pressure or gravity as follows:
1. Bypass the system by switching to STANDBY on the circuit breaker.
2. Open the door.
3. Remove the infuse line from the valve wand. The rest of the disposable set may
be left intact in the instrument or may be removed. Opening the door will allow
the fluid to bypass the roller pump.
4. Apply pressure at the fluid bag to aid flow. Make certain that the bag clamps
and patient line are open. Take care that excessive force is not used on the bag
to avoid rupturing the disposable set or damaging blood cells.
WARNING!
In emergency manual operation, all safety features of the system have
been bypassed. Monitor the patient line to insure that air is not allowed
to enter the patient. Do not apply
excessive force on the fluid bag to
avoid rupturing the disposable set or damaging blood cells.
