Automatic Operation: Cell Salvage
P/N 53063-50, Manual Revision: B
5-6
In this AUTOMATIC WASH mode, the CS5+ will optimize the processing by
operating at the optimum pump speed between 250 ml/min and 500 ml/min (or
200–300 ml/min if the 125 ml bowl is being used or 100-300 ml/min for the 70
ml bowl). Therefore, the pump speed may vary as the contents of the bowl are
being washed. In the AUTOMATIC mode, if an RBC spill occurs, the pump rate
will drop to 50 ml/min and then adjust itself upward when RBCs are no longer
being spilled. The CS5+ will operate at default settings when using the 70 ml
bowl. Pump speeds will not vary with the 70 ml bowl. Also in the AUTOMATIC
mode, the system will automatically extend the wash in 250 ml increments (or
75 ml increments for the 70 ml bowl) until the effluent line is clear.
Pump speed may be adjusted in AUTOMATIC by utilizing the UP and DOWN
arrow keys. If the pump speed is increased and an RBC spill occurs, reengage the
effluent line sensor.
Warning: The pump regulation function of the effluent line sensor is disabled
with any pump speed adjustment by the operator.
In order to reengage the Effluent Line Sensor:
a. Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to adjust the speed to the original setting
prior to manipulation. When this speed is reached, the “Pump Regulation
Off” message will be removed from the screen and fully automatic operation
will continue.
OR
b. Press the PUMP PAUSE key twice, once to pause the pump and a second
time to resume at the default speed.
If air is detected prior to the completion of the wash cycle, an alarm will sound
and the following message will be displayed:
The operator should check saline bags and proceed.
Saline bag empty
Replace saline bag
