Monitoring Kit with SAFESET™
Blood Conservation System
(Luer Sample Port)
Instructions for Use
CAUTION: Care must be taken to keep electrical connections on the
cable extension dry and fluids from entering the atmospheric vent on
the transducer or erratic readings may result.
I. Installation of Transducer Cable
Connect the transducer cable(s) to the patient connector(s) on monitor.
II. Set Up of the Monitoring System
A. Set up the disposable transducer using aseptic technique.
1. Open package containing the sterile disposable transducer monitoring kit.
2. Remove the transducer monitoring kit assembly from package.
3. Check all fittings to ensure tight connection.
4. Attach the cable to the transducer by connecting the cable extension to the
reusable cable as shown in Appendix A.
5. Prepare a collapsible I.V. solution bag by extracting all air from the bag. If
heparinizing, add heparin prior to air removal.
CAUTION: If an air-free solution source is not used (i.e., air is not
extracted from the bag), air may be forced into the monitoring line when
solution is exhausted.
6. Close the clamp on the administration set. Remove the protective cap from the
administration set spike and insert the spike into the I.V. solution bag.
CAUTION: To prevent inadvertent puncture of the I.V. solution bag, insert
the spike carefully using a downward twisting motion.
7. Insert the I.V. solution bag into the pressure administration cuff.
8. Hang the pressure administration cuff from I.V. pole.
9. With the clamp closed, gently squeeze the drip chamber and fill drip chamber
approximately 1/2 full.
10. Open clamp on administration line.
III. Purging Air from the Lines
A. Instructions for Pole Mount
1. Attach transducer to reusable mount as shown in Appendix A.
2. Turn stopcock handle "off" to the patient. Remove white vented cap from zero
reference stopcock.
3. Activate the fast flush mechanism of the continuous flush device and fill
the transducer slowly (gravity prime only) until air-free. Flush fluid through
transducer and side port of zero reference stopcock.
4. Turn handle of zero reference stopcock "off" to the side port. Place a yellow
nonvented cap from the spare parts bag onto the side port.
5. Remove the white vented cover at patient connection (see Appendix A).
6. For SAFESET™ (Arterial) Line Only
a. Release the locking mechanism of the SAFESET in-line reservoir by
depressing the ridged area of the plunger clip. Pull the SAFESET reservoir
plunger back to approximately 2 cc.
b. Hold the in-line SAFESET reservoir in the upright position (stopcock integral
to reservoir at top) while activating the flush device.
c. Check for adequate removal of any bubbles at the tip of the reservoir and
close by pushing the back of the clip area until the plunger reaches its
locked position.
d. Continue to flush until all air is cleared from the system to reduce the risk of
air emboli.
e. Place yellow nonvented cover on patient connector.
7. For non-SAFESET Lines (as applicable for each line)
a. Repeat steps III.A 1-5
b. Activate fast flush mechanism of the continuous flush device and fill
the transducer slowly (gravity prime only) through the side port of distal
stopcock until air is removed. Turn handle of stopcock "off" to its side port.
Place a yellow nonvented cap onto the side port of the stopcock.
c. Remove white cover at patient connector and flush the rest of the patient
line. Place a yellow nonvented cover on the patient connector.
8. Pressurize I.V. solution source to 300 mmHg. Close clamp on pressure cuff.
CAUTION: Make certain the drip chamber does not completely fill
during pressurization. Air should remain in the drip chamber so that the
continuous flush rate can be verified following a fast flush.
NOTE: Take special care to ensure no air is trapped in any components
of the fluid pathway. The monitoring system must be totally air-free for
maximum performance, i.e., optimal dynamic response.
CAUTION: Pulling a vacuum to purge bubbles from the lines is not
recommended. This practice may entrain air or release air from solution.
If the line is primed in a forward manner under pressure, care must be
taken to assure the maximum pressure specifications for the transducer
are not exceeded.
B. Instructions for Patient Mount
NOTE: Patient mounting of a squeeze flush device is not recommended with
the flush clip attached to the device as it may result in inadvertent activation
of the fast flush mechanism by patient movement. If patient mounting is
desired, the flush clip must be removed.
1. Turn the zero reference stopcock "off" to the patient. Remove white vented cap
from the side port of the zero reference stopcock.
NOTE: Hold the transducer assembly so that the fluid flows upward, i.e.,
perpendicular to the floor.
2. Follow steps and cautions per section III.A as applicable.
3. Position the transducer onto the patient and secure strap.
4. Tape down components as desired (see Appendix B for REPRESENTATIVE
CONFIGURATION).
