Speeds
Low speed
This setting is designed for small channels, 1 to 3 millimeters (mm) in size. This
setting will flush a total of 200 mL of fluid in 30 seconds. Do not turn up the
speed when you hear the motor slowing down. The smaller channels cannot
accommodate any higher flow volume. Trying to force it to go faster will cause a
back-up in the motor and will make the pressure release valve drain fluid.
Medium speed
This setting is designed for channels that are 2 to 3 mm in diameter. This setting
will flush a total of 375 mL of fluid in 30 seconds. Do not turn up the speed if you
hear the motor slowing down. However, if there is fluid draining from the pressure
relief valve, you can consider slowing the pump speed.
High Speed
This setting will flush a total of 500 mL of fluid in 30 seconds. This is used for
channels larger than 4 mm in diameter.

Too much pressure and speed
for small devices can result in
tube set damage.
Because fluid will take the path of least resistance, it is important that instrument channels attached to a FlexiPump
system are approximately the same diameter, to assure consistent flushing into all the devices. For this reason, do
not attach a large-diameter lumen to one lead and a small-diameter lumen to another on the same pump system.
