6-10 Maintenance
P/N 39551-00, Rev. F
Cleaning the
Air Detectors
The Air Detectors should be cleaned monthly.
1. Gently wash the grooves of the Anticoagulant Line Air Detector, Donor Line
Air Detectors, and Blood Line Air Detector monthly with a lint-free cloth
moistened with clear, warm water.
2. Dry the grooves.
Cleaning the
Air Filter
The MCS+ device is equipped with air filters for incoming cooling air on the bot-
tom of the MCS+ device. Correct filter maintenance will avoid malfunction re-
sulting from an accumulation of lint and dust in air passages. The filter should be
washed quarterly, depending upon frequency and conditions of use.
Supplies Needed
The only supply needed is warm running water.
Filter Cleaning Procedure
Cleaning the air filter is simple and easy. The following steps outline the correct
procedure.
Note: There are two types of machine stands requiring two methods of filter
access for cleaning. Stand A is a black metal stand with one center support post.
This stand will require removal of the machine for filter access. Stand B has filter
access holes in the top shelf and is also distinguishable by a middle basket and
bottom shelf for supply storage. You will not be required to remove the machine
from the stand with this style.
Stand A:
1. Unplug the MCS+ device.
2. Tip the machine onto its side.
3. Grasp the filters and pull them out.
4. Rinse each filter under warm running water until it is clean. Do not use soap
or any cleaning solution.
5. Squeeze out excess water, place on a clean cloth, and let dry overnight.
Warning! To avoid electrical shock, do not place a wet filter
into the machine.
6. Install the filters through the access holes and ensure they are properly seated
into the filter groove.
