1.2.5 LEVEL AND BUBBLE MONITORING
WARNING! Mortal danger to patients from gas emboli
1.2.6 BEFORE AND DURING TRANSPORT APPLICATION
WARNING! Risk from accidental changes in flow
For flow regulators without a rotary pressure function there is the risk of the knob
being turned accidentally, which changes the flow.
It is therefore only permitted to use the ROTAFLOW Console with ICU Kit for
transport applications.
WARNING! Danger if warning signals are not heard
In noisy environments, there is the risk that acoustic warning signals emitted by
the ROTAFLOW Console may not be heard.
You should therefore position the ROTAFLOW Console so that you can see the
displays and any optical warning signals at all times.
ATTENTION!

Install the bubble and level monitoring system according to the instructions.
Always test the function of the bubble and level monitoring system using fluid
together with the oxygenator and reservoir before each use.
A bubble stop malfunction may occur with initially imperfect mixing of blood
and priming liquid due to a difference in the acoustic properties of the fluids.
The arterial filter is no substitute for the function of the bubble and level
monitoring system. Use more than one system. The responsibility for taking
precautions still lies with the user.
If you use the ROTAFLOW System without a bubble or level monitoring
system, ensure patient safety with other adequate systems or methods.
Comply with national transportation regulations.
Also follow the instructions supplied with other components of the ELS
System.
The person responsible for configuring the system as a whole must ensure
that the complete system is permissible.
Only use the ELS System in ground and air vehicles which have their own
oxygen supply and own power supply which is suitable for the ROTAFLOW
Console.
