Fluid measurement
Thopaz + calculates the fluid amount from the fluid level in the canister and in regard to the
attached canister size� The fluid level in the canister gets detected by capacitive coupling�
For a valid fluid measurement Thopaz + needs to stay within a tolerance of 10 ° vertical (upright)
and the canister must contain a minimal fluid amount of:
Thopaz canister without solidifier
30 ml in a 0�3 l canister
50 ml in a 0�8 l canister
If these conditions are not fulfilled the fluid values appear in grey with a crossed out fluid symbol
]� Additionally a Thopaz + out of axis symbol [
[
[
] appears on the action bar� No additional fluid can be measured in this status� The grey fluid
values show the last measured fluid values�
This type of fluid measurement allows a measurement accuracy of +/- 15 ml in a 0�3 l canister,
+/- 40 ml in a 0�8 l canister and +/- 100 ml in a 2�0 l canister (corresponding to +/- 5 % of the
canister volume)�
Thopaz + displays the fluid values in a 0�3 l canister in 1 ml steps, in a 0�8 l canister in 5 ml steps
and in a 2�0 l canister in 10 ml steps� After a total drainage amount of 5000 ml and more the
display will switch to liter (l)� Thopaz + will display fluid values in 0�01 l steps (equals 10 ml steps)
thereupon�
Limitations
Thopaz + calculates the fluid measurement according the fluid level in the respective canister�
Movement of Thopaz + can cause fluids to temporary cover the canister walls� A potential fluid
film covering the canister wall can result in temporary higher fluid volume read out displayed on
the screen� Also foam formation in the canister can result in higher fluid volume read out
displayed on the screen� All Thopaz canisters (079�0011; 079�0012; 079�0016; 079�0017; 079�0018;
079�0019) are equipped with one or two simethicone capsules containing 720 mg simethicone
each (see chapter 4 – Overview)� Simethicone prevents foam formation and the coverage of fluid
films on the canister wall�
Safety related tip
The simethicone capsule requires 60 min of submersion for full effect�
Safety related tip
For most accurate fluid measurement place or keep Thopaz + on the docking station
(079�0037)�
