Disposables 3-9
P/N 39551-00, Rev. F
Injection Port (near needle)
The injection port on the MCS+ device 5-day disposable sets is intended only for
emergency situations requiring administration of fluids or drugs.
Warning! If the injection site is used before removing the
platelet concentrate from the collection set, the storage life of
the platelet product is reduced to 24 hours.
Presample Pouch
This pouch allows collection of donor blood samples without a separate veni-
puncture. The tubing must be sealed before sampling from the pouch and may
not be reopened to the system without compromising extended dating.
Bacterial Filter
This 0.22
µ
filter is connected to the anticoagulant and saline lines of the dispos-
able set. It prevents potential contaminants, which may be present as a result of
manual connection of the fluid to the disposable, from passing from the fluid
container into the MCS+ device disposable set. The flow of the fluid is not re-
stricted.
Note: This filter allows the attachment of the AC or saline using a spike while
still maintaining a functionally closed system and does not affect the extended
dating of the product.
Donor Pressure Monitor (DPM) Luer Connector
This element of the disposable contains a 0.22
µ
hydrophobic filter to prevent the
infiltration of potential contaminants into the disposable. It is intended to be cou-
pled with the receptor on the DPM to assist in the monitoring of pressures within
the donor line from the venipuncture site to the bowl.
Warning! If, for any reason, the DPM filter becomes wet dur-
ing the procedure, the MCS+ device is no longer able to moni-
tor venous pressure. See Chapter 4, Safety and Donor/Patient
Care Precautions.
Note: The DPM and SPM luer connectors do not need protective caps. Since
these filters are bacteriostatic, the disposable remains a closed system.
