CP_IFU_16-XX-XX_USA_015 6.9
To ensure a homogeneous disinfectant distribution in all of the water tanks:
◗ Close the cover of the filler neck.
◗ Make sure that the three venting valves a at the rear of the heater-cooler are closed.
◗ Establish a connection between the inlet of the cardioplegia circuit 10 and the inlet of the patient
circuit 8.
Please note that a temperature alarm can be triggered if the temperature deviates in the individual
tanks.
To avoid this alarm, adjust the set temperature values of the warm cardioplegia circuit and the patient
circuit to 20°C (68°F). Set the cold cardioplegia circuit to 10°C (50°F).
(see chap. 5.4.1 “Adjusting the set values”)
