Today being Wednesday, it was time to restock our Ready Service Locker (RSL) with a week’s worth of Cycler supplies. Specifically, 5L dextrose bags, 3 L 1.5 % bags, 2.5 % 3 L bags, and cassettes for the following seven days. We moved the associated boxes and gear from our monthly storage unit in the spare bedroom to the Cycler area.

Making Ready for resupplying our RSL

When your start to open the boxes containing the dextrose fluid for the Cycler, you will notice a large warning not to use a box cutter to open the box.

Box Warning

The short video embedded below shows you how to open the boxes without any possibility of damage to the contents.

Safely Opening Boxes

After opening the boxes, they are unloaded into the four bottom right divisions as shown in the last picture below, with the heavier 5 L bags in the bottom two divisions, and the lighter 1.5 and 2.5 gabs in the upper two divisions. We have moved the cassettes to the shelf under the Cycler so that they don’t have to be bent 180 degrees for storage.
