6. Use of the backup external mechanical flowmeter (supplied in the Terumo APS1
Accessory Kit) is strongly recommended. Position the backup flowmeter just
before the oxygenator to detect any possible gas leak between the gas outlet and
the oxygenator, and as a backup to monitor gas flow in the event CCM capability
is lost.
7. To determine gas flow with the backup flowmeter, view the float from eye level
and use the center of the float to determine the rate. Refer to the figure below.
8. Securely mount all components and verify that gas flows freely through the tubing
and inline components (e.g. no kinked tubing).
Note: Always disconnect or turn off the gas supply when not in use as the
system will vent several liters of gas per minute even when the flow is set to zero
using the CCM slider.
