If a fast flush is performed on the animal, the user should check carefully for the presence of foam
and particulate matter. If a large volume is flushed by force, a short flush with an increase rate
less than 2 cc is recommended to avoid central embolism.
Blood pressure for a liquid infusion line over 300 mmHg requires an infusion of more than 3 cc per
hour. In this case, the pressure must not exceed 775 mmHg. A protective function is set in the
CAUTION
flush device, which prevents overpressure of the converter by making the liquid bypass the
device. If a more precise control of fluid volume is required, it is necessary to connect the infusion
pump around the flush device.

(1)
Twist the sterilized solution bag lightly using a drip chamber spike.
(2)
Open the roller clamp and remove the air inside the bag completely by squeezing using an
infusion set or a needle inserted into the injection port in the back. Air should not be allowed to
enter the patient line.
(3)
Before inputting the solution into the infusion set, press both sides and fill the drip chamber
partially.
(4)
Operate the flush device gently. Since air rises from the bottom, make sure that the solution is
in the bottom at all times.
(5)
Prime the side ports and the plug of the zero point stopcock in the converter using a door-lock
plug.
The stopcocks of the converter or the outlet should be locked before connecting the
door-lock plug.
CAUTION
(6)
Verify there are no air bubbles in the system.
(7)
Add pressure to the system up to 300 mmHg using C-fusor or the clear cuff. Flush the system
for 2–3 seconds. Verify there are no air bubbles in the system. Now, the system is ready for
zero point setting and measuring. Place the stopcock in a 90 degree position to let it open to
ambient.
