4. The 1 ml infusion syringe is pre-attached
to the infusion port. The 20 ml reservoir
syringe is filled with heparinzed saline and
attached to the inlet side-port of the check
valve. (Figure 3)
5. Prime the hemostasis and check valves
by placing a gloved thumb over the rotat-
ing adapter located on the hemostasis valve
while activating the 1 ml infusion syringe
(Figure 4). This will force saline out of the
back end cap of the hemostasis valve. Close
the back end cap by twisting it in a clock-
wise direction (Figure 5). Continue to acti-
vate the infusion syringe to debubble the
distal segment of the hemostasis valve.
