Warning
Risk of cross-contamination in the event of an incorrect response
to a wet or defective hydrophobic filter
Never force back any fluid with a syringe (risk of damaging the
hydrophobic filter).
Close off the tube with the wetted / defective hydrophobic filter.
Replace the relevant tubing system. In the case of a pressure line
with a wet hydrophobic filter, use a replacement pressure line
(accessory available from manufacturer).
If you cannot exclude the possibility that the device may have become
contaminated:
Take the device out of service after completing treatment.
Have the device tested for contamination by service support.
If the device is contaminated, all affected parts must be disinfected or
replaced by service support.
Warning
Before starting a treatment, check the following:
– All the connections of the tubing system are securely connected.
– There are no apparent leaks in the tubing system, either during or
after filling (priming).
– If leaks are detected, tighten the relevant connections as needed. If
necessary, replace the entire tubing system.
– The absence of air, kinks, tensions, and twists in the tubing system
and the correct position of all fluid levels.
Warning
When working on the tubing system during a treatment, observe
the following:
If you need to move any part of the tubing system out of position, make
sure the correct layout of the entire tubing system is restored before
continuing treatment, paying special attention to the correct placement
of the positioners.
