Equipment and Disposable Description
P/N 53063-50, Manual Revision: B
2-12
Effluent Line Sensor
The effluent line sensor monitors the quality of the bowl effluent. During FILL and
WASH it adjusts pump speed to reduce red cell spillage. It also trips the system
to EMPTY once the proper effluent quality has been reached after a “minimum”
wash volume has been introduced. The effluent line sensor is disabled during the
Manual mode and the EMERGENCY option.
During 70mL bowl operation, the effluent line sensor detects the RBCs and
advances the machine from FILL to WASH modes appropriately, in addition to
monitoring effluent line quality during WASH (as described above).
The operator has the option of disabling the pump regulation function of the
effluent line sensor when using the 125ml or 225ml bowls. This is accomplished
by pressing the MODIFY key and going into the setup screen and selecting OFF
for the Pump Regulation option. When this option is selected, the message,
“PUMP REGULATION OFF” will flash on the screen and the effluent line sensor
will not adjust the pump speeds. However, when Pump Regulation OFF mode is
selected, the effluent line sensor will still monitor effluent line quality in WASH
mode and extend washes appropriately (as described above). This option is
available on a per procedure basis only.
Warning: Red cells may be lost into the waste bag as a result of choosing the
pump regulation off option.
Reservoir Level Sensor
The CS5+ is equipped with a reservoir level sensor that, in the Automatic mode,
is designed to trip the system into the FILL mode when a predetermined amount
of solution has been suctioned from the field. The reservoir level sensor does not
function in the Manual mode. The preset trip point is approximately 800 ml of
fluid in the reservoir (400ml when using the 70 ml bowl) for initial fill of the bowl
and approximately 400 ml (200ml for 70 ml bowl) to restart a fill of the bowl. The
operator can modify the trip points to accommodate for different situations or
turn the reservoir level sensor on or off by pressing the MODIFY key and going
into the setup screen while in the Automatic mode.
CLAMPED LINE DETECTED
Check for kinks or occlusions in tubing.
Ensure clamp on reinfusion bag and reservoir are open.
The Reservoir Level
Sensor monitors the
weight of the
reservoir throughout
the procedure to
estimate the volume
of fluid in the
reservoir.
