Application - Sartorius Sterisart Universal Pump 16420 Operating Instructions Manual

6 Application

Caution!
General danger with risk of injury
Do not operate the Sterisart Universal pump until the tubing has been properly
installed. The pump may only be operated with the tubing inserted and only by
one person at a time. Never pump any flammable, corrosive or explosive fluids.
Users should always wear tight-fitting clothing (no ties, etc.).
To be able to operate the pump, Sterisart sterility test systems must be installed
beforehand. To do this, follow the steps given below:
Remove the sterility test systems from their respective packaging and place
the sterility test sample containers in the container for draining on the right side
of the pump.
– Now open the lever and the bow.
– Keep the tubing around the rotor of the pump so that no kinks occur and the tub-
ing is not under tension (the arrow on the fixed part surrounding the pump head
indicates the later direction of rotation, Fig.5). The tubing is attached by simply
inserting it (with it lying on the ground) and fastening the lever (3). In this way,
the tubing is automatically correctly positioned.
Important Note!
When threading the tubing, make sure that it is not kinked or twisted.

– To start the pumping process, the tubing must be fully inserted and the lever
must be engaged. A safety function ensures that the pump does not start if the
lever or the bow are open.
