2 General description
The AFU-100 peristaltic pump unit is a roller pump. The rollers of the pump rotors
squeeze the inserted pump tube so that the liquid in the pump tube is transported. This
enables liquid media to be transported without coming into contact with the peristaltic
pump unit. Sterile liquids (e.g. isotonic saline solution) thus remain sterile, provided that
a sterile tube set is used.
The maximum flow rate is 270 ml and 600 ml per minute with two different tube sets
(see chapter 11.1, Pump tube characteristics) offered as single use items. In addition,
three memory buttons provide fast access to preset flow levels. The peristaltic pump
unit can be connected to an electrosurgical unit by an interface, allowing operation of
the peristaltic pump unit by a special button on the electrosurgical unit’s footswitch.
The pump rotor is equipped with a protective cover, which automatically stops the
rollers from rotating if it is opened while the peristaltic pump unit is activated, and thus
prevents possible injuries.
