P/N 53063-50, Manual Revision: B
Automatic Operation: Cell Salvage
5-7
When the appropriate volume of saline has entered the bowl, the system will
automatically stop the pump, the centrifuge will stop spinning, and the red blood
cells suspended in saline will be pumped out of the centrifuge bowl and into the
reinfusion bag.
The centrifuge may briefly rotate in both directions to facilitate the
removal of the red cells from the bowl. The following screen will be displayed
while the RBCs are being emptied into the reinfusion bag:
6. After processing one bowl, the system will start processing again when the
preset reservoir level is detected. If no more blood will be processed, turn
the power off and remove the disposable set.
7. During the procedure the system will monitor the amount of fluid collected
in the waste bag. When the amount is close to 9 liters (or 4.5 liters when
using the 70 ml bowl) the system will alert the operator to change or drain
the contents of the waste bag. The system will sound an audible signal and
the system will move into a PAUSE state and indicate the waste bag is full.
Once corrective action is taken press START to resume processing.
Note: If the waste bag is full and must be changed, this must be carried out while
the bowl is empty (and filled with air). The waste bag may be partially emptied
through the drain spout at any time as long as the fluid level in the bag is not
below the long green line indicated on the bag. Complete emptying or changing
of the bag must be accomplished while the bowl is empty of blood.
8. Reinfusion to the patient can begin as soon as there are RBCs in the
reinfusion bag. Collection of shed blood into the reservoir, filling the bowl,
and reinfusion to the patient can occur simultaneously throughout the
procedure.
Warning: DO NOT allow the reinfusion bag to become empty between
reinfusions to the patient. If air does enter the reinfusion line, it must be purged
before starting reinfusion.
