Routine maintenance
Draining out Califia
- Turn off the roller pump
- Open both valves to 100%; open the Peristaltic Pump lid
- Exit from the Califia Simulator program
- Turn Califia OFF and remove power & Ethernet cables
- Unclamp the venous line if needed; as water drains from the reservoir, tilt it towards the venous line exit so most of the water in the reservoir drains
- Rotate the roller pump manually clockwise to suck all water from the arterial and water reference lines
- Clamp both tubes into venous and arterial fittings and remove them from Califia
- Remove ¼” tubing from both CP Flow and Vent fittings
- Carefully drain Califia in a bucket by tilting it on the corner closest to the reservoir level scale
- Use paper towels to drain the tank and let it sit to dry
