Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury:
• Only assemble and operate high-
pressure systems if you know the
correct safety procedures. High-pressure
liquids and gases are hazardous and the
energy from them can be released
without warning.
• Do not put metal objects into
connectors.
Caution
To avoid inaccurate readings, always repeat
a test when “Bubble” or “Air Lock” is shown
on the display while a test is running.
The Product connects to an infusion device through the
inlet ports on the side panel. The side panel also has the
connections for drain hoses and accessories.
Connect Infusion Devices
Figure 3 shows the Product connected for a flow test with
a 20 ml syringe attached to one 3-way stopcock inlet. Use
a syringe to prime the line before a test. Fluke Biomedical
recommends that you make all infusion device
connections to the Product through 3-way stopcocks.

Follow these recommendations when you connect to the
inlet tubing circuits:
• Use adequate prime volumes (for example,
10 ml) to push through any bubbles.
• Use the stopcocks at the inlet to prevent fluid
backflow out of the inlet between tests.
