Long Empty
Explanation:
The air detector did not sense air when expected, indicating that the device may have pumped
more than the expected volume of fluid from the bowl or that a tubing occlusion could be
preventing fluid from emptying as expected.
Corrective Action:
1. Ensure that fluid is not transferring from the waste bag to the bowl, which would indicate loss
of sterile air.
NOTE:
If fluid is transferring from the waste bag to the bowl, waste may have reached the RBC
bag. The contents of the RBC bag should be returned to the bowl to be washed again.
2. Check the tubing for correct placement in the air detector.
3. Check the effluent tubing for correct placement in the effluent line sensor.
4. Check the effluent tubing for kinks and occlusions.
5. Check the blue and red tubing for kinks and occlusions.
NOTE:
If a kink or occlusion is found in the blue tubing, it is recommended to QC the RBC
product to ensure no hemolysis occurred.
