Preface
Caution: While in Service mode, DO NOT use the Spectra
system for any procedure.
Caution: To prevent possible electrical hazard or potential
damage to the equipment, turn off the machine before cleaning.
Caution: Using a sodium hypochlorite solution stronger than
recommended can damage or discolor the system surfaces.
For the Seal Safe System
Caution: DO NOT activate the sealing head of the Seal Safe
system within 3 inches (8 cm) of the Spectra system air detectors.
Caution: Use ONLY a Seal Safe system cutter/sealer head and
interconnect cable with the COBE Spectra Apheresis System.
These components are specifically designed to perform with the
Spectra system. The Seal Safe system does not operate properly
with components from other sealers. Most other sealers will not
seal the tubing through the colored insulation sleeves.
Caution: To avoid stretching the hot tubing and causing a leak,
ensure there is NO tension on the tubing when operating the
Seal Safe system.
Caution: The ground jaw has an indentation in which the spring
must rest. Failure to properly seat the spring in the indentation can
damage the spring and cause inadequate tubing seals.
1-18
Caution: Ensure the sealing head and tubing are completely dry
before operating the Seal Safe system. Should an electrical arc
occur, carefully inspect the quality of the seal.
Caution: To avoid damage to the Seal Safe system, always
remove the cutter/sealer head from the side of the Spectra system
before moving the system.
