Instructions for Use of Pump Head
6.1 Description and Preparation
6.1.1
Description
The
DCP-200
pump heads are designed for single
use applications in the Life Science industries in
connection with the
PuraLev
®
i100SU
pump system
components. The wetted parts are made out of
biocompatible materials (FDA, USP VI, Animal-
Free), which can be gamma sterilized.
The
Pump Head
is mounted to the
MagLev Driver
(integrated motor and controller) via the
Pump Head
Socket
. The motor is connected to a controller
generating the currents for rotation and the
levitation of the impeller.

Before using the
DCP-200
pump head make
yourself familiar with the following warnings,
cautions and instructions.
6.1.2
Inspection Prior to Use
The pump head should be inspected prior to use for
any damage. Do not use the pump head if any
damage is found. Contact
Levitronix
®
regarding
return of any suspected pump head.
6.1.3
Traceability
For full traceability of the pump head the 6 digit
serial number located on the top of the pump head
shall be used. On the labels of the packaging and
on the biocompatibility declaration this serial
number is the one on the lid (see
Figure 32: Serial number for traceability of pump head
(left: on pump head, right: on label of package and the biocompatibility declaration)
6.2 General Warnings and Cautions
!
WARNING
High Magnetic Field Strength of Impeller.
The pump head contains a rotor magnet with high field
strength. Pace maker may be influenced and magnetic
forces may lead to contusions. Keep distance to pace
makers and handle pump heads with care.
CAUTION
Magnetic Forces
Pay attention to the magnetic forces when handling the
pump head. It has to be avoided that magnetic parts
are attracted resulting in contamination or da-mage (for
example cracks) of the housing or impeller. Specifically
pay attention to the magnetic forces, when handling
two pump heads at the same time.
CAUTION
Gamma Sterilization
The pump heads have been tested to be robust against
gamma
radiation
with
a
dose
up
to
40 kGy.
Handle the pump heads with care, especially after
gamma radiation with doses above 25 kGy, since the
radiation exposure decreases the flexibility of the pump
head material.
