Pressure cuff
The tourniquet-style pressure cuff is used to maintain an optimal venous blood-
flow from the donor during specific phases of the collection procedure. The cuff
should be attached to the MCS+ cuff connection located on the rear panel of the
MCS+ cabinet. The cuff meets the ANSI/AAMI SP-9 & SP-10 standards for accu-
racy and performance.
Communication
box
Note: The communications box may not be present on all MCS+ devices. Refer
to the Postscript to the MCS+ Operation Manual (P/N 85270-30), for further in-
formation on the communication box and other communication options such as
the data card reader or wireless antenna.
The communication box (either internal or external) transfers data via a serial
connection from the MCS+ device to an external device such as a printer, or to
HaemoNet, the Haemonetics communication network. A Haemonetics trained
technician must configure the communication box to communicate with a
specific device. Refer to the Postscript for information about Haemonetics
approved devices that can be connected to the MCS+ device.
HaemoNet provides any establishment using Haemonetics equipment with the
possibility of linking several Haemonetics apheresis devices to a central moni-
toring computer. Using HaemoNet, procedure data can be exchanged and stored
in a database and/or viewed directly.
Note: The MCS+ communication box has been tested according to standards re-
quired by EN 60601-1-2 (EMC of medical electrical equipment). The measured
error rate of data communicated to HaemoNet at certain specific electromagnetic
