P/N 39551-00, Rev. F
Note: Two biohazard waste bags are included with each MCS+ device. The
bags are located under the machine on a tray. One of the bags is connected to
the Centrifuge Drain Tube, and a second is provided to replace the connected
bag. Replacement bags may be ordered through Customer Service. Call the Hae-
monetics Technical Hot Line at (800) 537-2802 in case of any machine or bowl
malfunction.
For routine cleaning:
1. During machine operation and Centrifuge maintenance, ensure that a waste
bag is attached to the Centrifuge Drain Tube (a plastic tube exiting the base
of the machine) and that it hangs freely at the back of the machine.
Warning! If the cleaning solution should come in contact
with the Bowl Optics, the operator should rinse the lens with
clear water and dry it so that the lens is not clouded.
2. Wash the Centrifuge Cover with a cloth moistened with cleaning solution.
To clean a fluid spill:
1. Power off the machine and disconnect the power cord from the outlet. En-
sure that the waste bag is attached to the Centrifuge Drain Tube (a plastic
tube exiting the base of the machine) and that it hangs freely at the back of
the machine.
2. Wipe away as much fluid/blood as possible with gauze pads. Spray cleaning
solution followed by a clear water rinse against the wall of the Centrifuge
avoiding the Centrifuge Chuck, the Bowl Optics, and the Fluid Sensors. Al-
low the fluid to flow into the waste bag attached to the drain at the base of
the machine. Be sure to confirm that the fluid is flowing into the waste bag.
Warning! If the cleaning solution should come in contact
with the Bowl Optics, the operator should rinse the lens with
clear water and dry it so that the lens is not clouded.
3. Wash the Centrifuge Cover with a cloth moistened with cleaning solution.
4. Close the slide clamp of the used waste bag. Remove the bag and discard it
according to the facility’s SOP for disposition of biohazardous wastes. Re-
place the bag with the spare and call Haemonetics to report the spill and re-
quest another waste bag.
5. Inspect the mechanical fingers and ensure that they move freely.
