The patient circuits
The two patient circuits are supplied with water via two separate pumps (from a common tank).
Fig. 16: Starting/stopping the patient circuit
Stopping the cardioplegia circuit
Press the key Circuit Start/Stop a second time to stop the active circuit.
➜ The water supply is stopped.
➜ The green LEDs on the key are inactive.
Switching between the cardioplegia circuits
Press the key Circuit Start/Stop
of the circuit which is inactive at present.
➜ Now, the selected tank supplies the circuit. This changeover takes about 5 seconds.
➜ The green LEDs on the key flash (alternatingly on the heater-cooler).
When activating the cardioplegia cooling circuit, it automatically has priority over the
patient circuits. As a consequence, the cooling performance of the patient circuits is
significantly reduced. Therefore, deactivate the cardioplegia cooling circuit at once, as
soon as it is no longer required.
