Figure 2-6, Mode Keys
PRIME
When PRIME is pressed, the disposable set is primed with anticoagulant from the
anticoagulant spike to the Donor Line Air Detector 1 (DLAD 1).
DRAW
When DRAW is pressed, the procedure is initiated. The Pressure Cuff on the do-
nor/patient inflates and the pumps begin to turn, moving anticoagulated whole
blood through the tubing. The Centrifuge begins to spin and all applicable sen-
sors and air detectors are activated.
RETURN
In the Return mode, the machine returns the remaining components to the donor/
patient. To initiate an earlier Return, press the RETURN key.
Warning! Press RETURN if the donor/patient exhibits signs of
discomfort, such as light-headedness, during Draw. If the do-
nor/patient exhibits signs of discomfort, such as light-headed-
ness, and pressing RETURN does not alleviate these symptoms,
then the procedure should be discontinued and medical atten-
tion should be given to the donor/patient.
STOP
Pressing STOP brings the pumps and the Centrifuge to a halt, closes all applica-
ble valves, and places the machine in the Ready mode. Pressing STOP does not
alter any parameters or interfere with volume accounting. However, the bowl
contents do lose separation.
