5. INSTALLATION
A. Typical installation
The ASTRA TEE is a floor standing unit which requires a potable water supply, waste drain,
and GFCI electrical connection all within 8ft (2.4 m) of the installation location. The ASTRA TEE
device is required to be mounted to the wall using a supplied wall bracket. Failure to follow
these installation instructions may affect the operation and effectiveness of this device.
Figure 1 below shows a typical installation.
Figure 1
Typical ASTRA TEE Installation
The on/off switch, power cord, vent, water supply, and drain are located on the right side
(facing) of the device. These connections may be routed behind the unit if your plumbing or
electrical outlet is located to the left. Adequate space is required to ensure proper safe
access to controls and proper ventilation of the device. See Section 3 for detailed
installation and clearance requirements.

M0067_C 5 ASTRA TEE®
The device is supplied with 10ft. of 3/8” drain and water inlet hoses and connectors, and a
10 ft. removable hospital grade power cord. Use of the supplied power cord is required to
maintain proper grounding and safe operation of the device. This power cord is required to
be plugged directly into a GFCI receptacle.

B. Mounting the Unit Wall Bracket:
The ASTRA TEE requires clear wall space of 24” wide and 67” high. A wall bracket is shipped
with the unit to hold the unit securely against the wall for added safety. Refer to Figure 2 for
mounting location of the bracket.
Mark the position of the screw holes as per Figure 2 and install the wall bracket (A1053-01)
with the EZ Anchors (A6164-01) supplied as shown below.
Figure 3
Wall Bracket Installation
Using two people, remove the device from the packaging. Using the lift handles on the sides
of the unit, lift the unit slightly over the wall bracket and position into place. Ensure weight of
device is on feet and device is level using the adjustable feet.
CAUTION: The device weight exceeds 50lbs (22.7kg). When lifting
loads heavier than 50 pounds, use two or more people
to lift the load.
C. Mounting Probe Connector Holders
Two probe connector holders (A1064-01) are supplied with the device and should be
installed on the left side of the unit, refer to Figure 2 for mounting locations. Install probe
connector holders with the EZ Anchor kit (A6164-01) supplied. Once mounted to the wall,
attach probe connector holder pads; back (A9064-01) and base (A9065-01) in each holder.
D. Plumbing Installation
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the device is installed in a manner which is
compliant with all applicable plumbing codes and facility requirements. Plumbing installation
requires a connection to a waste drain and potable cold water supply. Consult your facility
manager to determine the best installation method for your particular situation.
The device includes two tubing assemblies: one for each of the drain and water supply
circuits. These assemblies are terminated on one end only. The terminated end is for
installation to the right side of the device. The opposite ends are not terminated and the
installer determines the method of termination as indicated below.

ASTRA TEE® Transesophageal Probe Reprocessor Installation Manual
M0067_C 7 ASTRA TEE®
•Water Supply Connection:
The device is designed to accommodate a cold potable water supply. The installer shall cut
the supplied water inlet hose to the desired length and add the supplied 3/8” male hose barb
(A6041-01) and Hose clamp (A6132-01). Install the 3/8” NPT Valve Coupling (A6166-01) into
the 3/8” NPT (F) shut-off valve not supplied. A water pressure regulator (not supplied) is
required if inlet water pressure exceeds water supply specifications of 50 psi (see section 3).
oConnect terminated end of tubing assembly to the water inlet port on the right
side of the device (see Figure 4). Ensure the connector fully locks into place.
oTurn on water supply to unit and check for leaks.
•Drain Connection:
oThe installer shall cut the drain hose to the desired length and terminate the open end of the
tubing assembly into a sanitary waste drain. This can be into a typical dishwasher type
tailpiece under a sink, a floor standpipe or directly into a waste sink (secure line to prevent
drain water from splashing). Ensure any required air gaps are maintained.
Figure 4
Drain and water quick-disconnect fittings
E. Electrical Connection:
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the device is installed in a manner which is
compliant with all applicable electrical codes and facility requirements. Install a 15A Hospital
Grade GFCI receptacle within 8 ft. of the designated site of the installed device.
Plug in supplied hospital grade power cord into the right side of the unit and into a GFCI wall
receptacle. Switch on green illuminated power switch. If switch does not illuminate, make
sure GFCI receptacle has been reset.
CAUTION: Use of a power cord not supplied by CIVCO Medical
Solutions may affect the safety and performance of this
device.
NOTE:Do not attempt to use device – water and air filters have not yet been installed.
Once complete, device is ready for in-service. Turn off power. Fill out attached checklist
and return to CIVCO Medical Solutions.
