HU 35, User's Manual English version 2.00
4. Putting into Operation The following must be observed when setting up the unit: When setting up the unit it must be ensured that the ventilation slots on the bottom and rear of the unit are not covered. When in operation, the unit must be in a horizontal position (max. incline of 2°) as otherwise the water level display on the front of the unit displays an incorrect value. Furthermore, it is also recommended that the unit is positioned level or slightly higher than the oxygenator (max. height difference 1 m) due to the water pressure conditions in the circulation system. Moreover, when opening the water filler neck when the unit is switched off, water from the tubes and oxygenator can flow back into the unit causing the water tank to overflow.
Language The language in the display (Fig. 1 point 3) on the front of the unit, which provides information on the status and error messages, can be changed by the user. The following languages are available: German, English, French, Spanish, Italian. The language is set, with the unit switched on, as follows: 1.) Keep the “Alarm Off” key (Fig. 1 point 5) depressed (4 seconds) until the language appears in the display. 2.) Pressing the “Increase Setpoint” key (Fig. 1 point 6) serves to display and activate the languages in the following order: German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, German etc.. 3.) The selection option automatically ends 10 seconds after the last entry.

4. Putting into Operation Water Level a) Checking Before switching the unit on and connecting the tube to the oxygenator, the water level must be checked. The water level display is located on the front of the unit, the display has a minimum (Fig. 1 point 15) and maximum (Fig. 1 point 17) permissible value. The water level must be between these two values, whereby the maximum value should be aimed for. The difference between the two values is 0.7 liters. Water must be refilled under the following conditions:
the water level is below the minimum value; the display shows “WATER LEVEL!?”; empty tubes and an oxygenator are connected and the water level is below the maximum value.
b) Filling / Refilling The water tank is filled with tap water. The unit is filled after it has been switched off and disconnected from the power supply. To pour in water, the screw cap (Fig. 1 point 1) of the water filler neck is removed (e.g., using a coin). After being filled, the water level should be slightly below the max. value on the display. Once the water has been poured in, the screw cap should be screwed on lightly. Operators should not use any cleaning or decontamination methods other than those recommended by the manufacturer without checking with the manufacturer beforehand whether the suggested methods could cause damage to the unit. If, when filling, water flows over the unit, this must be dried thoroughly. The unit must not be used again until it is completely dry. c) Changing the water The water must be changed every two weeks (see also Chapter 7 “Maintenance and Safety Checks”)

4. Putting into Operation Oxygenator An oxygenator can be attached either before or after the unit is switched on. The tube couplings are simply connected to the right-hand coupling pair on the unit (Fig. 1 point 12). The couplings are correctly attached to each other when the lock on the tube coupling clicks into place in the unit’s coupling nipple and the connection can no longer accidentally become undone. On the oxygenator side, the tube is connected to the oxygenator via an adapter on a Hansen coupling. The used Hansen couplings can be connected with all current oxygenators. The connection is correct if the water flow display above the coupling pair on the unit rotates when the unit is switched on. The coupling is released by pressing on the small metal plate on the tube coupling. The couplings can be released when the unit is switched on. It must be ensured, however, that the adapter on the oxygenator side is decoupled as otherwise water will leak out. The system has been designed so that, after release, the coupling drips briefly; this is not a sign of a leakage or fault.
Tip The black sealing rings on the couplings can become dry, brittle and stiff as a result of ageing. This can be remedied by applying a thin film of silicone grease, Vaseline or similar to the sealing ring.
The unit must only be operated with the MAQUET PLS oxygenator or other oxygenators as part of extracorporeal circuits. The used oxygenators need to resist a pressure of a maximum of 0.34 Bar and to allow a maximum temperature of 40°C (independent safety shutdown). For further information, please refer to the oxygenator’s instructions for use. An oxygenator must not be connected when performing disinfection (also see Chapter 6 “Cleaning and Disinfection”).

4. Putting into Operation Putting into Operation The unit can be connected to the power supply using the power plug, taking into account points “Setting up the Unit” – “Oxygenator”. Switching on (O/I) The power switch is designed as a push switch with the symbols O/I and is located on the front of the unit (Fig. 1 point 11). The unit is switched on when the power switch button is depressed into the recess and off when the button is flush with the front of the unit. Performance Test A short acoustic alarm sounds when the unit is switched off and on. This signals that the power failure alarm is ready. Shortly after switching the unit on, a performance test checks the independent safety device and the result is shown in the display. Furthermore, all the segments (88.8) of the temperature displays, the fault display lamp and the acoustic alarm are activated at the same time. This performance test takes just a few seconds, during this time the user must observe the activation of the above-named displays. Warm-up Phase Once the performance test has been completed, the temperature control mode starts automatically if the temperature is set between 33 and 38°C. If the set value is greater than 38°C, an acoustic alarm sounds and the following messages are displayed “SET VALUE >38°C”, “ENABLE KEY >”. The temperature control mode is started by pressing the enable key “>38°C” (Fig. 1 point 7). 16
HU 35, User's Manual English version 2.00
4. Putting into Operation Once the setpoint temperature has been reached, heat dissipation in watts (W) is shown in the display (also see Chapter 5 “Heat Dissipation”). The unit must be taken out of use in the following examples and inspected by the authorized customer service organization: the short acoustic power failure alarm cannot be heard when switching the unit on and off; the automatic performance test identifies a defect in the independent safety device and automatically switches the unit off; the user notes a defect in the displays. The unit is not designed for continuous use without an oxygenator. If the unit is operated for an extended period (> 1h) without an oxygenator, various alarm messages may be given due to the lack of heat dissipation, in this case such messages do not point to a defect, but rather signal the proper functioning of the safety devices. The unit can be used again after a cooling down period. When used with an oxygenator, the patient’s body temperature should be monitored.
