INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (continued)
7. Priming Instructions:
Remove the cap from the connector at distal end of the pump set tubing. Hold
the cassette with the tubing up and the bellows down. Compress the bellows of
the cassette repeatedly until the fluid has expelled all the air from the cassette
and tubing. Firmly tap the cassette to dislodge any remaining air bubbles that
may or may not be visible.
Warning:
Proper priming is critical since air in the cassette will reduce the
volume delivered, and the amount delivered will be less than indicated
on the volume fed display.
NOTE: You may leave 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 inches) near the end of the tubing
unprimed to avoid product dripping during the setup.
8. Using shape for orientation, insert cassette into pump until seated. Press until
cassette clicks into place. Grasp base of cassette tubing and pull gently to
confirm that cassette is seated.
