2. Processing Time
The “
mm:ss
” (minutes:seconds) time displayed underneath the
analog clock icon indicates the amount of processing time required
before the PRP will be collected, once the processing cycle begins.
The time is based on the amount of whole blood or the mixture of
blood and bone marrow volume selected for processing (using the Up and/or the
Down Arrow Buttons). As the Up and/or the Down Arrow Buttons are touched, the
processing time will interactively change to reflect the newly selected volumes.
On all screens other than the Start Screen, the processing time displays and
counts down the remaining time in the current cycle until the PRP is collected.
3. Cycle Enumerator
The cycle enumerator displays the current cycle number in any
screen. Each case may run up to three cycles. After each cycle, the
operator must check the PRP volume collected to ensure that the
PRP syringe does not overfill.
4. Alarm Display
Alarms are shown as icons in the Alarm Display Area (see Figure 3-10 above).
Touching the icon will bring up a context-sensitive information screen that
describes the alarm in detail. The various icons which may appear in the Alarm
Display Area are detailed in “ Alarms and Notifications ” on page 5-1.
5. Protocol Pull-Down Button
The name of the currently loaded protocol is displayed to the left of
the Protocol Pull-Down Button. Touching the Protocol Pull-Down
Button will display a list of available protocols; touching the Protocol
Pull-Down Button a second time collapses the list. Touching a protocol’s name in
the list will select it as the protocol to be used during processing. The protocol
may be changed after each cycle of a case.
The Angel System is provided with a single Standard Protocol. The Standard
Protocol is locked in the computer’s memory and cannot be altered or deleted.
Refer to Chapter 4: Programmability Option, for additional information on
protocols and creating custom protocols.
6-7. Up and Down Arrow Buttons
Touching the Up and/or the Down Arrow Buttons will
increase and/or decrease, respectively, the whole blood or
the mixture of blood and bone marrow volume to process.
The volume that is set to be processed is displayed by the number (in mL) in the
center of the Touch Screen Display, and is reflected by the icon labeled
“ Whole blood volume to process ”.
A maximum of 180 mL can be processed in up to three (3) cycles for each
disposable Angel Processing Set . A cycle can process from 40 to 180 mL of
blood or mixture of blood and bone marrow. The default volume is 60 mL.
