qualified medical service personnel.
WARNING
!
• All air must be removed from the fluid lines prior to
connection to the patient.
• Monitor the fluid lines to insure they are air free.
Never administer fluids if there are air bubbles in
the line between the bubble trap and the patient
connector.
• Monitor the fluid level in the bubble trap frequently.
Bubbles released during heating are captured in the
trap. To refill the trap, insert a sterile syringe into
the valve and draw air out until the trap is two-
thirds (2/3) full. Do not allow the bubble trap to go
below one-quarter (1/4) full. See figure 5, page 6.

vertical position at all times.
Failure to follow the above warnings could result
in the introduction of air to the patient. Introduction
of air to the patient could result in death or serious
injury.
