Removing Bloodlines from the Machine
The arterial and venous ends of the bloodline should be clamped to avoid spillage before
attempting to remove the lines from the system.
Caution: Do not forcefully pull the lines from the machine. Damage to the machine or its
components may result.
To remove the bloodline from the blood pump, open the door and align the rotor by pressing
and holding the Start key until the pump stops. Press the latch below the rotor to release the
left (incoming) side of the pump segment. Pull the first couple of inches of the pump
segment out of the pump. Then, while keeping firm tension outward on the left (incoming)
side of the bloodline, press and hold the Start key a second time and the pump segment will
be released from the pump head.
Be sure to open the door to the optical detector before pulling the line from the venous clamp
and optical detector assembly.
