At
the beginning of each day fill the water chamber with
Sterile Water for Irrigation, USP. The pump should
have been left in a ready condition, see instruction
sheet entitled (N2 Tank Replacement and 12 hr High
and Low Pressure Testing). The High pressure gauge
(0 to 3000psi) should read between 100 and 1900psi;
The Low pressure gauge (to 30psi) should read 15psi
(+ or- 2psi). Adjust low pressure with brass "T"
handle on regulator. Clockwise rotation of the "T"
handle raises the pressure, counter clockwise lowers
the pressure. Note, you may have to attach and release
nitrogen line to top of water chamber a number of
times to get the low pressure to come down. After
water flow has been established through all transducers
disconnect nitrogen line from water chamber until
patient arrives for study. Reattach at the beginning
of the study. Disconnect the nitrogen line between
each patient and discard water at end of day. Do not
leave nitrogen line connected to water chamber for
extended periods of none functional time. This is
the main cause for out gassing or bubbles on your
infusion system. Store water chamber inverted on a
towel, with lid removed. Leave
nitrogen tank valve open as described in instruction
sheet entitled (N2 Tank Replacement and 12 hr High
and Low Pressure Testing)
