4.3.1 Pinch valves
In total, 13 magnetic pinch valves (see Figure 4.1) can be used during operation
to ensure controlled flow pathways within the tubing set. Additionally, the
valves fix the tubing on the front plate of the instrument.
4.3.2 Liquid sensor
One liquid sensor at the front of the instrument (see Figure 4.1) monitors the
flow of liquid within the tubing set based on an ultrasonic principle which
allows detection of air bubbles within certain parts of the mounted tubing set.
Specific process steps are designed so that disruption of the continuous fluid
flow through this sensor automatically advances the process to the next phase.
4.3.3 Mounting guide and locking clasp
The mounting guide and locking clasp (see Figure 4.1) are used to mount and
secure the CliniMACS Formulation Unit onto the CliniMACS Prodigy. The
mounting guide helps the insertion and mounting of the CliniMACS
Formulation Unit onto the bag compartment on the CliniMACS Prodigy. The
locking clasp locks the CliniMACS Formulation Unit on the bottom side of the
CliniMACS Prodigy.
4.4 Unpacking and installation
Unpacking and installation of the CliniMACS Formulation Unit must only be
performed by a professional user. Read the chapter 3 “Important safety
information” before installation and use of the instrument. Visually inspect
and note any significant damage to the package. Damage may require
inspection by a representative of the shipping company.
