The MCS

+
is a lightweight, compact, blood processing instrument. The system
consists of two parts: the machine and the single-use blood processing dispos-
able.
On the inside of the MCS+ device cover, there is a Display Screen on which mes-
sages regarding the operation of the system are shown. Located directly beneath
the Display Screen is a Control Panel through which the operator selects proto-
cols and enters information.
Figure 2-1, System Components
On the front of the MCS+ device cabinet (Figure 2-1)are a Blood Filter Holder
and two pressure monitors that check the pressure in the disposable set. On the
left side of the cabinet is an anticoagulant drip monitor, which monitors the flow
of anticoagulant. On the right side of the cabinet is the Protocol Card door.
In various locations on the cabinet are four air detectors that check for the pres-
ence of fluid or air in the tubing.
On the MCS+ device deck (Figure 2-2) are a Centrifuge in which the processing
chamber is placed and three rotary pumps that move fluids through the system.
