AND
CLEANING
Normal maintenance of the CS5+ System consists of keeping the machine clean.
Clean the CS5+ with a damp cloth using a facility approved cleaning solution,
unless otherwise specified.
All blood spills should be cleaned immediately pursuant to those policies and
procedures dictated by the medical facility’s Infection Control Plan, as legally
required by the OSHA Blood Borne Pathogen Standard.
When any Haemonetics product (equipment or disposables) which has been
used during a procedure is returned to Haemonetics for any reason, the customer
must decontaminate and repackage the product in compliance with the medical
facility’s Infection Control Plan and U.S. Department of Transportation
regulations for interstate shipping of blood contaminated products.
Warning: Disconnect electrical power from the CS5+ before servicing the
system.
Cleaning the
Centrifuge Well
The centrifuge well should be routinely cleaned with a damp, lint-free towel. The
towel can be dampened with a mild detergent spray to improve cleaning. Do not
use 100% bleach directly on the machine; a bleach/water solution or some other
disinfectant may be indicated.
Follow by drying with a lint-free cloth. A drain port connected to a biohazard
waste container bag will catch fluids if a spill occurs. Remove and replace the
bag should this occur.
Warning: Do not grease any part of the mechanical centrifuge. If grease has
been applied to the mechanical centrifuge, contact Haemonetics hotline
immediately.
Note: If the mechanical chuck becomes contaminated with blood, call
Haemonetics Hotline at (800) 433-3431. If blood has entered the mechanical
locking fingers, the mechanical chuck must be cleaned by a trained biomed or a
haemonetics field service engineer.
Optics Lens
Cleaning
The window(s) of the optical level sensor(s) located inside the centrifuge may be
cleaned with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth (moistened with water only). Buff dry to
assure that there are no spots left on the window.
Warning: In order to function properly, the optical sensor lens(es) must be clean
and clear. A dirty or clouded lens could interfere with proper operation of the
sensor. Always clean the optical lens(es) after a blood spill.
