Cell Saving using Automatic Operation
When performing a new prodedure, using the same type of bowl as the pre-
vious procedure, the CS5+ system will check that the minimum wash vol-
ume is not lower than the recommended one.
If lower, the device will reset the minimum wash volume to the recommend-
ed one, otherwise the CS5+ system will keep the previous minimum wash
volume.
When performing a new procedure, not using the same type of bowl, the
CS5+ system will reset automatically the appropriate recommended mini-
mum wash volume.
The operator may decide to increase or decrease the minimum wash volume
depending on the quality of the incoming shed blood as follows:
"
Press the Modify key to access the Cell Saver setup display.
"
Press the Select key until
Min Wash Vol
is highlighted.
"
Use the Arrow keys to modify the minimum wash volume.
NO WASH option
If minimum turn-around time on packed cells is a higher priority than wash-
ing the cells, as in case of an emergency situation, or if the cells are being
hemoconcentrated for return to the bypass circuit, the physician may re-
quest that the operator omit the WASH state. This will reduce the processing
time to the length of the FILL-EMPTY cycles. To enable the
NO WASH
op-
tion the operator should:
"
Press the Modify key to access the Cell Saver setup display.
"
Press the Select key until the
NO WASH
option is highlighted.
"
Use the arrow keys to select
ON
.
"
Press the Modify key to return to the STANDBY screen.
Warning: The
NO WASH
option should only be selected after the physician
has performed a careful assessment of the risk/benefit ratio of washing
cells versus not washing cells, and has determined, based on his/her own
medical judgement, that return of the cells without processing through the
WASH state is in the best interests of the patient.
Alternatively, if the
NO WASH
option has not been selected, the operator
can manually move from FILL to EMPTY by pressing the Empty key once the
system has moved into the WASH state.
When the operator chooses to no wash the RBCs, the following message
will flash on the screen display:
N9*0+D)0+@-&O%1
