4.2.2 Water connections
Connecting tubings to the water circuits
Note:
Pay attention to hand hygiene and protective barriers by disinfecting your hands and using disposable
gloves.
Requirements for connection:
◗ Disinfect the connectors and fittings on the tubings before connecting them to the heater-cooler
(see chap. 6.2).
◗ Do not use self-closing connectors. Compared to “open connectors”, they reduce the water flow.
!
◗ Prior to operation, check all tubings, connectors and other accessories to ensure a good seal at all
water connections. Replace all damaged components immediately.
◗ Ensure that the tubings are straight and do not bend or twist them. Apart from occluding the water
flow, bent or twisted tubings can pose a hazard for the personnel (they could stumble).
◗ Close inactive circuits with a suitable piece of tubing (making a “short” or closed circuit).
