Chapter 1: Pearl Docking Station

Assembling the Pearl Docking Station

WARNING:

Isoflurane gas can leak in the amount supplied to the Pearl Imaging System

Docking Station if the product is not used properly. Carefully follow the instructions in this
chapter to ensure that the scavenging charcoal filter and user-supplied anesthesia system are
properly connected, and that the nose cone on the imaging bed has a nose cone plug inserted
when not in use.

AVERTISSEMENT:

L'anesthésie d'isoflurane peut fuir dans la quantité fournie à la station d'amarrage de Pearl si
le produit n'est pas employé correctement. Suivez soigneusement les instructions dans ce
chapitre pour vous assurer que le port d'échappement est relié à un filtre à charbon, que le
système d'anesthésie fourni par l'utilisateur est correctement relié, et que le cone de nez est
équipé d'un bouchon inséré.

1) Unpack the Pearl

®

Imaging System Docking Station and any other accessory imaging beds, such

as the Pearl Clean Box, so all parts are available for assembly.

2) Loosen the thumb nuts on the back of the rotameter stand. Orient the rotameter with tubing to

the back of the stand as shown below. Connect the rotameter to the rotameter stand by sliding
the rotameter over the mounting studs (similar to the Pearl Imaging System instrument) and
tightening the thumb nuts.

Figure 1-2. Docking station rotameter connects to the stand via two
