3. Initiation of the FILL mode is largely dependent upon the rate of fluid
collection in the reservoir. If the patient’s rate of blood loss is steady and
rapid, processing may begin as soon as 100 ml of fluid enter the reservoir.
Typically, however, the processing mode (FILL) can be initiated after the
reservoir has accumulated 600–900 ml of volume or 200-600 ml when
using the 70 ml bowl
Note: While in the Manual Mode, all modifications to the preset parameters will
be retained from procedure to procedure until reprogrammed by the operator.
4. Press the START or FILL key to initiate the FILL mode. The following screen
will be displayed:
:
The recommended maximum FILL speed is 600 ml/minute for the 225 ml bowl,
300ml/min for the 125 ml bowl and 125ml/min for the 70 ml bowl.
To manually concentrate on the last bowl filling, press the CONC key. This will
cause the blue valve to open bringing blood down from the reinfusion bag into
the bowl. These red cells will displace the supernatant, forcing the supernatant
into the waste bag.
5. When the red cell/supernatant interface reaches a point approximately 1/4
inch over the shoulder of the bowl, press the WASH key (the recommended
maximum WASH speed is 500 ml/minute for the 225 ml bowl and 300 ml/
min for the 125 ml bowl and 100ml/min for the 70 ml bowl). The volume of
wash solution required will depend upon such factors as hemodilution and
amount of anticoagulant used. Wash the red cells with a minimum of 1000
ml of saline when performing a standard procedure and 1500 ml of saline
when performing an Orthopedic procedure. Wash with a minimum of 300
ml of saline when using a 70 ml bowl. Continue washing until the effluent
line is clear.
