Automatic Operation: Cell Salvage
P/N 53063-50, Manual Revision: B
5-8
Warning: Close the clamp between the reinfusion bag and the patient between
reinfusions. Do not close the white clamp on the blue line between the
reinfusion bag and the CS5+.
Warning: Washed, concentrated cells are depleted of clotting factors. The
physician must monitor the quantity of washed cells returned to the patient, and
supplement the washed, concentrated cells with fresh frozen plasma and
platelets if required for hemostasis.
Warning: DO NOT use a pressure cuff or any other mechanical device with the
CS5+. Pressure reinfusion can result in the fatal infusion of air into the patient.
A transfer pack can be used to transfer the contents from the reinfusion bag to a
second bag that can be handed off to anesthesia. Attach a transfer bag to one of
the small ports on the reinfusion bag and open the small clamp. When the cells
have been transferred to the transfer bag, express any air back to the reinfusion
bag, close the clamps and seal and detach the bag. These red blood cells are now
ready for transfusion following standard transfusion protocols.
Warning: In accordance with FDA guidelines and AABB standards, a transfusion
filter capable of retaining particles potentially harmful to the recipient should
be used when returning processed concentrated red cells.
Warning: Refer to the current AABB standards for expiration date of stored
blood.
9. Whenever the air sensor detects air in the tubing in EMPTY, the system
assumes all the RBCs have been transferred to the product bag from the
bowl and it stops the pump. When air is sensed in FILL, the system assumes
the reservoir is empty and stops the pump and centrifuge, moves into the
STANDBY state and displays a message similar to:
The system will resume processing when the reservoir level sensor senses the
reservoir has once again filled with fluid to the proper trip point.
A separation delay will occur when the system resumes processing. This delay is
designed to promote proper separation of the cells presently in the bowl prior to
the addition of new cells.
The operator can initiate a FILL mode by pressing the FILL key when it is backlit.
Need 400 ml in reservoir to FILL automatically
