Sensors And Tubing Locations - BD FACSFlow Supply System User Manual

Sensors and tubing locations

Introduction
Locations
This topic describes the locations and functions of the sensor
cables and tubing. This information is important if you have
to move the BD FACSFlow supply system.
Caution: Biohazard! Do not disconnect the tubing from
the back of the BD FACSFlow supply system or loosen
the caps from the plenum or cubitainers unless the
BD FACSFlow supply system is shut off. Doing so while
the system is in operation can cause potentially
biohazardous waste to flow out of the tubing.
Caution! Do not operate the BD FACSFlow supply
system with the sensor cables disconnected from the
BD FACSFlow supply system, the plenum caps, or the
cubitainer caps. Doing so disables the audible and
visible alarms and can lead to overflow of the waste
cubitainer.
The sensor cables and tubing that connect the BD FACSFlow
supply system to the cubitainers and plenums originate from
the back of the system unit. The black sensor cables have 5-
pin connectors that plug into the BD FACSFlow supply
system. The tubing has color-coded connectors that plug into
the BD FACSFlow supply system.
