Vacuum Chuck
The bowl is held in the Vacuum Centrifuge Chuck by a vacuum that eliminates
the need for additional tools and helps ensure proper loading of the bowl.
To load the bowl:
1. Center the bowl.
2. Push the bowl down until the vacuum chuck grips it firmly.
3. Close the cover and turn the cover latch knob clockwise to lock.
Warning! The bowl base must be firmly installed and evenly seat-
ed in the centrifuge chuck. If the centrifuge chuck spins with the bowl
base not evenly seated, as indicated by bowl wobbling or noise,
bowl damage will occur and the procedure must be discontinued.
Do not attempt to reseat the bowl or continue the procedure.
Do not return the contents of the bowl to the donor. Contact
Haemonetics Technical Hot Line at (800) 537-2802, and dis-
card the bowl contents and disposable per the facility’s SOP.
