level 1 System 1000 - Accessories: System 1025 Pressure Infusers; Set Up and Use

Accessories: System 1025 Pressure Infusers
The System 1000 is equipped with an onboard compressor that is used to operate
two SIMS Level 1 pressure infusion chambers (H-2’s). Pressure infusion chambers
are sold separately as an accessory to the System 1000. The System 1000 combined
with two H-2 pressure infusion chambers is referred to as the System 1025. Pressure
infusers are not required to operate the System 1000, but are a valuable accessory to
complete this total fluid management system.
System 1025 pressure infusers provide controlled, convenient pressurization of blood
and |.V. solution bags for rapid administration of 1.V. fluids. These automated pressure
chambers quickly reach and hold a preset pressure of 300 mmHg for high speed fluid
delivery not possible with manually pumped pressure cuffs. The factory set 300 mmHg
pressure is constant and not adjustable. At 300 mmHg pressure, flow rates may be
altered by adjusting the roller clamp on the Level 1 D-series disposable I.V. fluid
warming set.
With the System 1025 infusion chambers, pressure can be applied or released with the
throw of a switch. Empty I.V. fluid bags can be de-pressurized, replaced and re-
| pressurized in seconds. Each pressure infuser contains an expansion bladder to
squeeze the bag contained in the chamber. Each H-2 chamber can accommodate
either a 500 ml bag or a 1000 ml bag. And a safety relief valve is also contained in
-each chamber to help prevent over-pressurization of fluid bags.
_ If you have purchased a pair of pressure infusion chambers, please refer to the
| following pressure infuser set up instructions for proper installation.
Packaging for each pair of System 1025 pressure infusers should contain the following
items:

Set Up and Use
CAUTION: This device must be assembled and tested by SIMS Level 1
technical personnel, an authorized distributor of SIMS Level 1 or a trained
biomedical engineer prior to placing the device into service.
! WARNING !: Level 1 pressure chambers are to be used only as an accessory to
Level 1 fluid warmers. Do not connect to compressed gas bottles, O.R. Air, or any
other pneumatic pressure source.
1. Loosen the two pole mounting thumb screws on the back of one H-2 pressure
chamber as seen in Figure 5. Slide the H-2 over the top of a flanking bracket.
