How to adjust the DG cartridge to get suitable occlusion

Release Time:2015-12-19

1.It is recommended that the lever of cam gear should be turned at the lowest position when the pump stop running for a long time to avoid tubing deformation caused by squeezing and prolong the tubing life.

2.Turn the lever of cam gear to the lowest position to have the smallest occlusion, sometimes no occlusion for the small tubing with the lowest position. Place the tubing in the cartridge then load the cartridge onto the pump head. Power on the pump. Lift up the lever of cam gear slowly to increase the occlusion. When the pump could deliver the fluid without any back flow, the lever position is good enough with suitable occlusion. Please note that too much occlusion will reduce the tubing life.
