Auto-Fill
(On/Off)
Determines if the device automatically proceeds from Standby to Fill once a
preset volume of fluid is collected in the reservoir or if you must touch
Fill
to
start the Fill phase.
Auto-Wash
(On/Off/Ask/Skip)
Warning: The Auto-Wash Skip 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 judgment, that return of the cells without processing through
the Wash phase is in the best interest of the patient.
Determines how the device transitions from the Fill phase to the Wash phase.
On:
The device automatically transitions from the Fill phase to the Wash
phase when the device detects that the bowl is full of red blood cells
(RBCs).
Off:
The device remains in the Fill phase until you touch
Wash
.
Ask:
When the device detects the bowl is full, it transitions to the Fill
Paused state, displays a message indicating that the bowl is full and
ready to enter the Wash phase, and prompts you to enter Wash,
continue filling, or return cells to the reservoir.
Note: This message only occurs once. If you continue to fill the bowl by
touching
Fill
or
Conc
, the message will not appear again, and you must
manually transition the device into the Wash phase.
Skip:
The device transitions from the Fill phase to the Empty phase
without washing the cells. This option should be used only if turn-around
time on packed cells is a higher priority than washing the cells, such as
in an emergency, or if the cells are being hemoconcentrated for return to
the bypass circuit.
Partial Bowl Wash
(Ask/Single/Double)
Determines how the device sets the wash volume when you wash a partial
bowl by manually starting the Wash phase. Blood processed using a partial
bowl may have a lower hematocrit than blood processed using a normal full
bowl. Because the hematocrit of the bowl contents is lower, there is more
supernatant in the bowl. In order to dilute the larger volume of supernatant, a
partial bowl may require two times the normal saline solution.
Ask:
The device transitions to a Wash Paused state, displays a
message indicating Wash was entered prior to filling the bowl, and
prompts you to double the wash volume, continue with the normal
amount of saline solution, or end the procedure. You may also continue
