Describing the Cell Saver 5+ System Components
Air detector
This element uses ultrasound to detect air in the pump tubing leading to the
centrifuge bowl. During the FILL or CONCENTRATE (CONC) process states,
air bubbles are detected when the source of blood to be processed is
exhausted.
The CS5+ device will revert to the STANDBY state and will display one of
the following messages depending on the process state in progress:
or
If during WASH, 90% or more of the necessary wash volume has been
pumped, air bubbles caused by emptying the wash solution container will
advance the device to the next state, usually EMPTY. If the air detector
senses air in the line prior to at least 90% completion of the programmed
wash volume, the following information will be displayed for the operator:
The air detector is also similarly used during the EMPTY and RETURN states
to determine when the centrifuge bowl is empty.
Clamped line sensor (blue line sensor)
The clamped line sensor monitors pressure levels in the blue line to the rein-
fusion bag. If the bag is inadvertently clamped, the clamped line sensor will
cause the pump to stop and the following message will be displayed:
