Figure 2.9 Repeating the Seal Process
WARNING
:
Be sure to
push
the tubing through the sealing region to the next
position. Under
no
circumstances should the tubing be separated by
pulling it at the instant of sealing. An opening in the tubing may
occur, which will subject the media to non-sterile conditions and the
user to potentially hazardous fluids. In addition, the Sealing Head may
become damaged by arcing caused by contamination of the sealing
region.
Seal spacing must be in accordance with the guidelines specified in Section 2.4.
WARNING
:
Multiple seals spaced less than the recommended distance may cause a
rupture of a sealed tubing segment.
NOTE:
The Power Source is equipped with a thermal protection switch to prevent
the equipment from becoming damaged. If thermal cutout is reached, the
power source will not work for several minutes until the temperature of
equipment lowers.
WARNING:
If you observe arcing while making a seal, follow the instructions in
the Troubleshooting Guide section under “Arcing or Bad Seals.”
Although a seal made when you experience arcing may look
acceptable, it may be inadequate. Take precautions as if this is an
inadequate seal.
WARNING
:
The Power Source is designed for rapid sealing applications; however,
extreme heavy duty use may result in thermal build up in the jaw area
which can cause poor seal quality or tubing ruptures. If you should
experience these problems, reduce the rate of sealing, as necessary, or
allow for periods of rest for the Sealing Head.
