Troubleshooting the Trauma Fill Tank
Before making any repairs, ALWAYS depressurize the tank, remove all trauma solution and clean the
tank.
Empty and Flush the Chest Tube Reservoir
Removing fluids from the Chest Tube reservoir and the Chest Tube system requires the same steps.
Problem Cause Solution
Tank can be pressurized, but
only air comes out.
Siphon tube has detached
from insert.
Remove hose from tank and
reinsert siphon tube.
Pressure does not build up. No
fluid is transported to simula-
tor.
Pump assembly not sealed
tightly into tank
OR
Damaged pump cylinder
gasket or o-ring
OR
Tank pressure relief valve is set
to “open.”
Thoroughly clean pump cylin-
der gasket or o-ring and sur-
rounding area and apply a light
coating of silicone to pump
gasket or o-ring.
Contact CAE for service.
Turn valve until it returns to a
“sealed” position.
Simulator fill time is too long
(more than 5 minutes).
Not enough strokes applied to
create pressure
OR
The in-line filter is dirty
OR
The umbilical is disconnected
at Overflow Bottle or (4) Too
much fluid in fill tank.
Pump 25 to 35 times for best
performance.
Clean filter.
Reconnect the overflow fitting.
Note: The Trauma Fill Tank
works best with 1 gallon (3.6
liters) of fluid inside. If greater
amounts of fluid are used, tank
may require additional pumps
as fluid is transported to simu-
lator.
