Lid open
yellow red
If the lid is open before the
Start Button is pressed,
the yellow icon appears,
prompting you to close the
lid properly.
If the lid opens during the cycle,
the red icon appears. The
centrifuge stops until the
problem is corrected.
Close the lid cover. Ensure
the tubing is not caught
between the lid and body of
the machine.
Light sensor
calibration
The “ Light sensor
calibration ” alarm is
displayed if the Platelet
Sensor is not able to
calibrate itself. The three
reasons this may occur are:
(1) the user has not loaded
the disposable set correctly,
(2) the Platelet Sensor is
dirty, or
(3) the Platelet Sensor is too
close to an external light
source.
(1) If the disposable set is not
yet installed, install it
according to the
instructions in Chapter 2:
Installing the
Disposables . Make sure
that the Platelet Cuvette is
securely in place, and that
the Valve Assembly is
properly mounted.
(2) If the alarm is still active,
clean the Platelet Sensor,
then reinstall the
disposable set. (Please
see the “Note” on 6-8)
(3) Ensure that the Platelet
Sensor is at least 1 meter
(3 feet) from all external
light sources.

(Machine temp)
If the Angel System detects
that the temperature is

further processing. If this alarm
continues, contact Arthrex, Inc.
Customer Service.

Plate is improperly attached
to the Centrifuge Adapter,
the “ Plate locking ” alarm
