8.
Press the Auto-Priming button or the icon of the applicable
centrifugal pump controller.
The Auto-Priming function works on the centrifugal pump to
turn intermittently.
The procedure to expel bubbles in the circuit through
microporous of the oxygenator is automatically performed.
Do not operate the centrifugal pump without filling
it with priming solution. Otherwise, the centrifugal
pump may get damaged.
9.
Confirm that bubbles in the circuit are completely removed
while the centrifugal pump turns intermittently. At this time,
remove the cap (with air filter) of the sampling port on the
sampling line of the oxygenator and open the 3-way stopcock,
and then remove bubbles from the sampling line using a
syringe.
When bubbles remain at the junction parts of
connectors etc., remove them by tapping the parts.
10.
Hold the handle for rotation of the exclusive holder (XX
*
EB04)
and unlock the rotation. Then rotate the holder 90 degrees and
replace it at the previous position (Figure 13). Put away the
handle for rotation depending on the situation.
After the rotation, lock the rotation, and make sure
that the holder is fixed.
11.
Press the Auto-Priming button or the icon again to compete
auto priming.
12.
Confirm that the motor rpm adjustment knob of the centrifugal
pump console is at the position of “0”.
13.
With the pump outlet clamped, set the pump speed to
3000rpm (maximum speed) for approximately 30 seconds.
Since this condition makes internal pressure of the centrifugal
pump maximum, check it for something wrong such as
leakage from EBS circuit.
・ Do not operate the centrifugal pump for a long
time with its outlet clamped, which will raise the
temperature of the priming solution.
・Do not use when something wrong is noted and
replace the EBS circuit with a new one.
