Operator Prole
This device is typically operated by a perfusionist and is not left unattended. A perfu-

countries, the perfusionist completes a formal educational perfusion program followed
by clinical practice prior to becoming certied and/or licensed to practice. In other coun-
tries, the perfusionist does not complete a formal perfusion education program, and
learns the profession by practice and on-the-job training only.

and to stoop, bend, reach, grasp, or feel as needed; capable of lifting approximately 25
