Using Tube Sets
The Aquilex® Fluid Control System is designed for use with sterile disposable inflow
and outflow tube sets.
Each inflow tube set is equipped with tube set recognition technology. An RFID
transponder detects the type of tube, whether it has been used, and its reliability
automatically. The pump display indicates this information. This eliminates accidental
reuse of tube sets on more than one patient (see Chapter Tube Overview [} 30]).
WARNING!
Visual inspection of the tube set
Before the operation, perform a visual inspection of the tube set and its packaging.
Damaged tube sets or tube sets from damaged packagings may not be used.
WARNING!
Reprocessing of sterile disposable products
Reuse of inflow or outflow tube can cause an infection hazard for patients and/or
users as well as impair of product functionality. Contamination and/or impaired
functionality of the system can cause risk of injury, illness, or death. Do not re-pro-
cess or reuse single-use inflow or outflow tube sets.
NOTE!
Disposing of tubes and containers
Comply with national disposal and hygiene rules when disposing of tubes, collec-
ted fluid, and the containers.
