Connecting the Arthro-Tube Day Set
1
- Open the individual package as shown in Figure 1, remove the tubing set from the package. Close all three (3) clamps.
2
- Remove the camp on one of the spikes. Connect the spike to a sterile saline bag (Figure 2). The second spike can be connected to a secondary spike in the same way.
3
- Connect the tubing set to the pump by fixing the BLUE connector at the beginning of the pump segment into the BLUE holder (A) (Figure 3).
4
- Place the tubing over the roller-pump device (B) and pres the fixing devices (C) + (D) over the tubing (Figure 4). Close the transparent plastic shield over the roller-pump device.
5
- Place the pressure chamber in the position at the metallic arm on the pump. Connect the tubing with filter into the luer-lock connector for the pressure measurement on the pump (Figure 5). Make sure the connection is tight.
6
- Open the clamp to the primary bag. Press the POWER-button (E) (Figure 6), then press the RUN/STOP-button (F) to start the pump. Immediately after fill the chamber to one-third with saline. The chamber should be held in vertical position during filling.

- Non-sterile operator: If present, remove any used one-way valve from the Double Pump Day Cassette. Remove the blue cap from the Double Pump Single and connect the blue swivel connector to the transparent female lure lock connector on the distal end of the Double Pump Day Cassette.
7-9
- Non-sterile operator: Open the white clamp near the Double Pump Day Cassette and the red clamp on the Double Pump Single.
- The Double Pump Day Cassette and Double Pump Single can now be filled with sterile saline per the pump priming procedure. When the tube is filled, the red clamp on the Double Pump Single can be used to open or close the flow.
