Valve Module
The valve module contains a manifold pressure sensor and four channels that
hold the processing set tubing in place. Three of the channels contain a pinch
valve that controls the flow of fluids through the set during a procedure.

Pinch Valves
The three pinch valves occlude the three color-coded lines of the harness. The
function of each valve is as follows:
Yellow line valve
: opens the pathway to the wash solution.
Red line valve
: opens the pathway to the blood source, usually a
reservoir or extracorporeal circuit.
Blue line valve
: opens the pathway to the RBC bag.
Manifold Pressure Sensor
The manifold pressure sensor monitors pressure levels in the blue and red
lines during Empty and Return and in the yellow line during Wash. If the clamp
on the RBC bag, collection bag, reservoir, or yellow line is inadvertently closed,
or the saline bag empties and collapses, the manifold pressure sensor stops
the pump and the device displays a message.
Valve Module Cover
The cover of the valve module secures the tubing in the channels. Push the
cover down and rotate the cover latch to close the cover.
The valve module cover is open, and the valves in the module are up when
loading the disposable set. The cover stays locked for the duration of the
procedure and unlocks automatically when the procedure is complete or if an
event message requires the user to access the valve manifold.
