(Concentrate)
Option
The concentrate option is used when the volume of red cells in the bowl is low,
and it is necessary to wash and return whatever cells there are. (This is sometimes
at the end of a procedure when the bowl is less than full, and no more blood loss
is expected.) In the Concentrate option the blue line valve opens, and the
washed, concentrated red cells are returned from the reinfusion bag to the bowl
to increase the RBC volume in the bowl and maintain a high hematocrit product.
(Washing a partially filled bowl would produce a low hematocrit end product.)
The operator can access the CONC option in AUTO mode when, during a FILL
mode, the system senses an empty reservoir and the system goes into STANDBY.
At this point the following is displayed:
When the operator presses the CONC key the system pulls RBCs from the
reinfusion bag and continues to fill the bowl. The following screen is displayed:
