Troubleshooting
The blood pump segment of the bloodline should be inserted and removed using the
recommended method from the 2008 series operator’s manuals:
To remove the bloodline from the blood pump, open the door and align the rotor by
pressing and holding the Start/Stop key until the pump stops. Press the latch below
the rotor to release the left (incoming) side of the pump segment. Pull the first couple
of inches of the pump segment out of the pump. Then, while keeping firm tension
outward on the left (incoming) side of the bloodline, press and hold the Start/Stop
key a second time and the pump segment will be released from the pump head.
If the blood pump segment has become lodged within the blood pump, preventing blood pump
rotor movement, the tubing must be removed to prevent further damage to the Blood Pump
module. The following steps outline the recommended process:
1. Open the blood pump door, if not already done.
2. Remove incoming bloodline (left side) from the yoke, if not already done.
3. Flip the silver rotor latch outward (see Illustration A).
4. Align the slot and the spindle on the crank handle with the rotor latch and hole as shown in
Illustration B above.
5. Slide the crank handle in as far as it will go. The crank latch will protrude slightly from the
crank handle (see Illustration C).
6. Keep firm tension on the bloodline near the lodged portion of the tubing while manually
turning the hand crank clockwise to release the lodged portion of tubing.
7. Remove the outgoing bloodline (right side) from behind the yoke.
If the user is unable to complete the recommended steps, contact a qualified service
technician.
8. Review the instructions for using the auto load/unload feature listed in the 2008 series
operator’s manual prior to attempting machine set up.
