Donor line air detectors (DLAD1 and DLAD2)
The two donor line air detectors are located on the left side of the MCS+ front
panel. Both air detectors monitor the donor line between the donor and the
disposable set blood filter.
! During PRIME, the pumps draw AC solution into the donor line up to the
DLAD. When the DLAD note fluid, the detectors signal to the MCS+ soft-
ware that the line has been “primed” with AC solution and is prepared for
DRAW.
!
During DRAW, the DLAD will monitor the tubing containing anticoagulat-
ed whole blood and alert the operator if any air has been introduced into
the system.
! During RETURN, the DLAD will monitor the donor line as it carries blood
components to be infused to the donor. The DLAD monitor the line for any
air which may have passed into the system undetected (probability very
low) by the BLAD.
Warning: In the case of any air detection alarm, the operator must respond im-
mediately, note the source and take immediate action, according to the list on
the HELP screen. During RETURN, if either the DLAD1 and/or DLAD2 produce
an air detection alarm, this could indicate a failure of the BLAD. The operator
should carefully note the source of air detected – no blood should be sent to the
donor until all air bubbles have been removed from the line.
