Perform a functional test before using the rigid argon electrodes. To do this,
immerse the tip of the probe in water and press the Purge button. If the equipment
is working properly, the emerging gas will form bubbles. Also check the
instruments for visible external defects.
For information regarding use with rigid argon probes and for recommended
settings, see the operating instructions for the instruments.
4.3.3. Using a sterile filter
If there is height difference between the argon device and the tip of the electrode,
body fluid may reach the argon device. For this reason, a sterile filter (830-050)
must be fitted between the argon interconnect cable and the gas outlet connector 1
in order to avoid infections and prevent damage to the argon device. The filter is
supplied in sterile condition and is disposable. It may not be reused.
Screw the sterile filter into the gas outlet connector 1.
Screw the gas connector of the argon interconnect cable into the
corresponding threaded coupling of the sterile filter.
