Preparing The Upp Puller Nxt (Optional); Assembling The Upp Puller Nxt - LABORIE NXT Evo Owner's Manual

Preparing the UPP Puller NXT (Optional)

Ensure that the UPP Puller NXT is charged. Laborie recommends charging the device overnight to ensure optimal
battery power for a full day of procedures. For instructions on how to charge the device, refer to the section
Puller NXT" on page 105. Confirm that the UPP Puller NXT is fully assembled and securely mounted.

Assembling the UPP Puller NXT

Identify removable parts to begin assembly of the UPP Puller NXT. The UPP Puller NXT nose separates from the motor
through a locking mechanism located at its base (Figure 2-3). Fit the nose onto the motor with the locking mechanism
in the unlocked position. When the couplers have self-aligned lock the mechanism (Figure 2-4). If disassembly is
required, unlock the mechanism and pull the nose away from the motor.

(viewed from the underside)
The UPP nose features the removable catheter guide and catheter clamp (Figure 2-5). Attach the catheter guide and
catheter clamp to the appropriate connection point. The catheter guide and catheter clamp use magnets to connect
and disconnect from the nose.
IMPORTANT
Removal of the catheter clamp may expose a sharp piece of metal protruding from the hinge. Exercise care
when handling.
To mount the UPP Puller NXT, slide the pole clamp onto the post of the UPP stand. Ensure that the yellow bushing is
facing upward. Lock it in position using the rubber knob screw located on the pole clamp. Loosen the thumb screw on
the pole clamp and place the UPP Puller NXT arm clamp insert into the clamp's yellow bushing (Figure 2-6).
Tighten the thumbscrew to complete mounting. To adjust any of the joints on the UPP Puller NXT arm, loosen the
thumbscrews, adjust, and retighten. Refer to Figure 2-7.
