Maintaining the Cell Saver 5+ Device
Cleaning after a spill
The exterior surfaces of the CS5+ device including the control panel, should
be cleaned with a mild detergent or disinfectant solution at regular intervals,
as well as following any spill.
Caution: The operator should never use full-strength bleach directly on the
device; a bleach/water solution or some other disinfectant may be indicated.
The CS5+ device is equipped with a biohazard waste bag which will collect
fluid or blood in the event of a spill in the centrifuge well. To completely
evacuate a larger spill from the centrifuge well, the operator should:
"
Irrigate the centrifuge drain holes with cleaning solution until the tube
is rinsed clean of the spilled material.
"
Remove the bag and replace it with a new bag.
"
Dispose of the used waste bag according to the local established pol-
icies for biohazard waste.
Washing the air filter
The CS5+ rear panel is equipped with an air filter for cooling incoming air to
the device. The filter should be washed periodically, depending upon
frequency and conditions of use to avoid malfunction resulting from an
accumulation of lint and dust in air passages. The filter should only be
washed with warm running water.
Cleaning the air filter is simple and easy as described in the following steps:
"
Disconnect the CS5+ from the power supply.
"
Remove the retainer plate using a Philips-head screw driver.
"
Grasp the air filter and remove it from the panel.
"
Rinse the filter under warm running water until it is clean.
DO NOT use soap or any cleaning agents.
"
Gently squeeze the screen to remove excess water.
"
Place on a clean cloth and allow to dry completely.
"
Reinsert the filter in the filter panel, ensuring that the filter completely
covers the opening.
"
Replace the retainer plates and tighten the screws.
"
Record the date of maintenance.
