Understanding the purpose of this manual
This manual is intended for use as a guide, uniquely for material as supplied
by the Haemonetics Corporation. It provides the operator with necessary
information to safely carry out specific procedures and satisfactorily main-
tain Haemonetics produced equipment. The manual is to be used in
conjunction with instruction and training as supplied by qualified Haemon-
etics personnel.
Haemonetics guarantees its products when correctly used by a properly
trained operator. Any failure to respect the procedures as described could
result in impaired function of the equipment, as well as in injury to the oper-
ator and/or patient. When properly assembled, maintained and operated
properly, the Cell Saver systems can safely and adequately perform various
cell salvaging procedures.
Haemonetics accepts no responsibility for problems resulting from failure to
comply with prescriptions as outlined by the company. Any modifications
estimated as necessary by the customer should be evaluated by a Haemon-
etics Clinical Specialist.
Safe utilization of Haemonetics material and equipment requires the oper-
ator to correctly handle and dispose of blood-contaminated material. The
operator of any Haemonetics equipment must fully understand and imple-
ment the local prevailing policies and procedures of each facility in which
Haemonetics products are used, concerning blood-contaminated material
as well as blood products.
It remains solely the responsibility of the customer to fully assess and ensure
the safety of any products obtained from Haemonetics prescribed proce-
dures, prior to further application or use. Haemonetics declines any respon-
sibility for choices made by the consumer concerning the utilization of these
products and by-products.
USA Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physi-
cian.
