TOP SEALING
HEAD
Note: For clarity, the splash guard is not shown in some of the figures in this man-
ual; however, it should always be in place during the sealing process.
1.
To make a seal, lay the tubing between the jaws ("sealing region"), allow-
ing the weight of the tubing to press against the seal trigger (a slight addi-
tional manual force may be required), as shown in Figure 3-7, Correct
Sealing Method. When the trigger is activated, the RF sealing jaw will
compress the tubing against the ground jaw and RF power will be applied
for approximately one second. The front plate of the Sealing Head will
glow during RF application. After the seal is formed, the sealing jaw will
retract to its original position.
Warning: Always operate the Sealing Head with the splash guard in place. Do
NOT pull the tubing through the sealing region. Under no circumstances should
the tubing be pulled at the instant of sealing. This may cause an opening in the
tubing, which will subject the blood or plasma to non-sterile conditions and the
user to potentially hazardous fluids. In addition, the Sealing Head may become
damaged by arcing caused by contamination of the sealing region.
Figure 3-7, Correct Sealing Method
Warning: Do not place fingers in close proximity to the sealing region while
sealing. Doing so will subject the operator to a radio frequency burn hazard.
