Test procedure
Use the following steps to test the check valve fluidics system.
Step Action
1.
Disconnect tubing (A) from COM luer of L1. Using a syringe, apply a
vacuum to the Sensor Luer:
a) If syringe maintains a vacuum, replace Valve L2. Return to the
beginning of step 1 and continue testing.
b) If syringe loses vacuum, proceed to step 2.
2.
Pinch tubing (A) closed with a hemostat. Using a syringe, apply a
vacuum to the Sensor Luer:
a. If syringe loses vacuum, replace Valve L2. Return to the
beginning of step 1 and continue testing.
b. If syringe maintains a vacuum, proceed to step 3.
3.
Press Pump Cal1:
a. If syringe maintains a vacuum, replace Valve L2 then return to the
beginning of step 1 and continue testing.
b. If syringe loses vacuum, Valve L2 is working.
• Remove hemostat
• Connect tubing (A) to COM luer of Valve L1 and proceed to
step 4.
4.
Disconnect tubing (B) from COM luer of L3. Using a syringe, apply a
vacuum to the Sensor Luer:
a. If syringe maintains a vacuum, replace Valve L1. Return to the
beginning of step 4 and continue testing.
b. If syringe loses vacuum, proceed to step 5.
5.
Pinch tubing (B) closed with a hemostat, Using a syringe, apply a
vacuum to the Sensor Luer:
a. If syringe loses vacuum, replace Valve L1. Return to the
beginning of step 4 and continue testing.
b. If syringe maintains a vacuum, proceed to step 6.
6.
Press Pump Cal2:
a. If syringe maintains a vacuum, replace Valve L1. Return to the
beginning of step 4 and continue testing.
b. If syringe loses vacuum, Valve L1 is working.
• Remove hemostat
• Connect (B) to COM of L3 and proceed to step 7.
