– After threading the tubing and closing the lever, insert the removal spike/needle of
®
the Sterisart
NF system as described in the instructions for the Sterisart
ity test system . Then attach the test liquid container (e .g ., bag or bottle) by hanging
it on the support rod (bag) or by placing it in the holding ring on the support rod
(bottle) . The holding ring accepts bottles of various sizes . The holder must be turned
so that the sterility test system tubing is not under tension after the spike | needle
has been inserted and so that the spike | needle cannot slip out of the container .
For testing ampoules, an ampoule breaker is also attached to the support rod .
Use the integrated knife to scratch the neck of the ampoule, then snap off the top .
The broken-off top of the ampoule falls into the collection container (which can be
emptied later) .
– For the following pumping process, make sure that the Sterisart
containers are correctly positioned in the intended holders, and that the tubing
has been inserted without tension or kinking .
Important Note!
When the lever is opened, the Sterisart
immediately by a safety function . In this event, the Sterisart
can be restarted after adequately closing all components .
