The ROTAFLOW System should only be used with a valve or other adequate
systems or methods (e.g., two tube clamps) preventing a reverse flow.
If the pump stops during an operation, the blood flow will be interrupted and
supply to the patient will cease. Please ensure that the cause of the
interruption to the pump is remedied as quickly as possible and that the pump
is started up again promptly.

equipment and the measuring system or tubes, as this may cause the flow
indicator to malfunction.
Do not touch the patient and the external interfaces of the device at the same
time.
Do not touch the plugs of the ROTAFLOW Console as electrostatic charging
and moisture may cause damage.
