Equipment and Disposable Description
P/N 53063-50, Manual Revision: B
2-14
Receptacles
Every CS5+ disposable setup must be equipped with a waste bag and a reinfusion
bag. There must also be a source of unprocessed blood which may be either a
collection reservoir or an extracorporeal circuit. Figure 2-8 identifies the
receptacles used in a typical set up.

Collection Disposables
An Aspiration and Anticoagulation (A&A) Assembly provides the two-lumen
tubing and a small mixing chamber which is attached to any suction tip.
Anticoagulant is drawn into the mixing chamber by suction. Blood and
anticoagulant are combined in the chamber and then pass up the tubing to a
collection reservoir such as the LN 205 Collection Reservoir in Figure 2-9.
See page 1-16 for a list of disposable accessory devices that may be used with the
Cell Saver 5+ System.
Centrifuge Bowl
The central part of the disposable is the centrifuge bowl. It is in this bowl that the
RBCs are separated, concentrated, and washed. As indicated in Figure 2-11, the
bowl consists of two subassemblies: an inner one which remains stationary and
an outer one which rotates. The outer subassembly rotates primarily at 5650 rpm
(7000 rpm for 70 ml bowl), and provides the chamber in which centrifugal
processing is accomplished. The inner subassembly provides inlet and outlet
ports. Although the shape of the various bowls may differ, the fluid pathway is
identical.
