Automatic Operation: Cell Salvage
P/N 53063-50, Manual Revision: B
5-12
When the RBCs reach the trip point, the WASH mode is initiated. To prevent
overfilling of the bowl with red cells before the WASH mode begins, the blue line
valve closes, the red line valve opens, and the pump reverses to withdraw blood
from the tubing to the bowl header into the red line.
PUMP
REGULATION
Option
In cases where the operator wants the machine to process the blood quickly, the
operator has the option of disabling the pump regulation function of the effluent
line sensor.
Warning: Red cells may be lost into the waste bag as a result of choosing the
pump regulation off option
Note: The pump regulation off option is retained on a per procedure basis only.
The Pump Regulation function of the effluent line sensor can be disabled by
entering the MODIFY section at any time during operation. Once the MODIFY
key is pressed, a screen similar to the following is displayed:
1. To turn off the Pump Regulation option, use the SELECT key to highlight the
“Pump Regulation” option, and then press the down arrow to indicate OFF.
2. Press MODIFY to return to the original operating mode.
Selection of the Pump Regulation OFF option will cause a “Pump Regulation
OFF” message to appear on the screen during the FILL and WASH modes.
The effluent line sensor will still extend the wash volume with the Pump
Regulation OFF option selected until the proper effluent quality has been
reached. In this case, the system will automatically extend the wash in 250 ml
increments (or 75 ml increments for the 70 ml bowl) until the effluent is clear.
