e. Release the Start/Stop key when the pump segment has been inserted along the track
inside the pump housing all the way to the right yoke.
f. Grasp the remaining portion of the segment and, using thumb pressure in a manner
similar to step b, position it behind the right yoke.
g. Release the tubing retainer and close the pump door. Be sure the pump segment is
free of kinks and both ends of the segment extend below the yoke.
8. Drape the second blood pump segment over the top of the single needle blood pump—do
not insert the single needle blood pump segment into the single needle blood pump at this
time.
9. Snap remaining arterial tubing in the clips along the red guidelines shown on modules.
10. Aseptically connect the patient end of the arterial line to the priming receptacle. Snap the
dialyzer end of the arterial bloodline into the dialyzer holder clip.
Warning! Do not allow the ends to touch the fluid in the bucket to prevent contamination.
Venous Bloodline Setup
1. Close medication port clamp
2. Open the level detector door and roll the venous drip chamber into its holder with the
filter below the sensor heads. Close and latch the door.
Warning! The level detector must be calibrated to the venous line model being used.
Warning! If the venous chamber contains a filter, be sure the filter portion of the chamber
is positioned below the ultrasonic sensor heads of the drip chamber holder.
3. Connect the venous pressure monitor line to the pressure port. Be sure to insert a
transducer protector between the line and the port. Verify that the monitor line is
unclamped.
Warning! Transducer protectors should be used between transducers and each pressure
monitor line of the extracorporeal system to prevent the transducers from getting wet. Wet
transducer protectors must be replaced, as they will cause inaccurate pressure readings. If
the external transducer protector and the internal transducer should become contaminated
with blood, the transducer protectors must be replaced, and the transducer must be
disinfected or replaced.
4. Snap remaining venous tubing in the clips along the blue guidelines shown on modules
(do not insert the venous bloodline into the venous clamp yet).
5. Snap the dialyzer end of the venous bloodline into the dialyzer holder clip.
6. Aseptically connect the patient end of the venous line to the priming receptacle.
Warning! Do not allow the ends to touch the fluid in the bucket to prevent contamination.
Dialyzer Setup
1. Mount the dialyzer in its holder, arterial-end up. Screw dialyzer caps onto the dialyzer
ports.
