LEANING PROCEDURES
The MCS+ device has been designed to require minimal maintenance for the
operator. To maintain the precision function of the MCS+ device, the operator
needs to primarily perform routine cleaning procedures of certain key compo-
nents. A record of routine cleaning schedule can be kept along with any routine
or preventive service maintenance performed by a Haemonetics representative.
The frequency of cleaning each individual MCS+ device will depend on the
number of procedures performed. Special cleaning needs may arise and should
be dealt with promptly. Haemonetics recommends the following routine
cleaning schedule for each MCS+ device, based on an average of three collec-
tion procedures per day, or approximately sixty per month.
! Daily: Clean the exterior surfaces as well as the pressure monitors.
! Weekly: Clean the air detectors, the optical sensors (line sensor and optical
bowl sensor), the fluid detector, and the inside of the centrifuge well.
!
Monthly: Clean the pump rotors and the pump wells.
!
Quarterly: Clean the filter screens.
Warning: To eliminate the potential danger of electrical shock, the operator
must clean the MCS+ device only when it is disconnected from an external pow-
er source.
The following list describes the basic material required for routine cleaning.
!
Disinfectant cleaning solution, specific for blood-born pathogens.
!
Warm water.
!
70% Isopropyl alcohol.
!
Lint-free gauze or cloth (for cleaning and drying).
!
Cotton swabs.
!
Protective gloves.
!
Hexagonal-head wrench #10 (provided with the device).
!
Silicon lubricant (for the “L” gasket of the centrifuge vacuum chuck).
!
Phillips-head screwdriver.
Cabinet and
control panel
The exterior cabinet, valves, keypad and display screen should be wiped daily,
(as well as following any spill), using the cleaning solution.
