5-4 Maintaining the MCS+ Equipment
P/N 85213-30, Manual revision: B
Line sensor
The line sensor, located on the MCS+ top deck, contains two very small lenses
which are centered on either side of the disposable tubing groove. The operator
should carefully pass the gauze through this groove to clean and dry the lenses.
Optical bowl sensor
The optical bowl sensor lens is located in the upper portion of the centrifuge well.
The operator should ensure that no spots remain after it has been cleaned and
dried.
Dual-pump identification window
The dual-pump identification window should be wiped clean immediately after
any spills to ensure that the information can be read from the disposable set
pump manifold.
Fluid detector(s)
The fluid detector(s) is/are located inside of the centrifuge well. The surface of the
detector should be cleaned using a cotton swab moistened with 70% alcohol.
Centrifuge
components
Except for the optical sensor and fluid detector(s), the other centrifuge compo-
nents can be wiped routinely using the cleaning solution and a lint-free cloth.
This includes the centrifuge well and chuck, chuck adapter, hinged lid and
locking knob.
Haemonetics Technical Services provides silicon lubricant for the “L” gasket,
located at the base of the vacuum centrifuge chuck. After a major cleaning, the
operator should apply a small amount of the lubricant to the gasket to prevent it
from cracking. It is not necessary to remove the gasket when applying the lubri-
cant.
If a fluid spill should occur, the operator should:
" Power off the device and disconnect it from the external power source be-
fore cleaning.
"
Ensure that the biohazard waste bag is attached to the drain tube and hang-
ing freely.
" Wipe the centrifuge lid with cleaning solution.
" Clean the centrifuge chuck and well, (avoiding the optical bowl sensor
lens), using the disinfectant solution and a lint-free cloth until all traces of
blood components are removed.
" Lubricate the “L” gasket with a small amount of the silicon lubricant.
