Power entry
module
The power entry module is located on the left panel of the device. Externally, the
module consists of an ON/OFF power switch and a power-input receptacle for
the power cord. Internally, the module contains the fuse panel. It will interrupt
power supply to the system in the event of an electrical current surcharge.
The design of the power entry module also provides a filter-effect for the PCS2
device against the effects of a power surge
In the case of an emergency, the ON/OFF switch can be used to stop all device
function.

Power cord
The power cord provided is designed to connect the PCS2 device with an
external power source via the power-input receptacle, located on the power-
entry module on the left side panel.
Pressure cuff
The tourniquet-style pressure cuff is used to maintain an optimal venous blood-
flow from the donor during specific phases of the collection procedure. The cuff
should be attached to the PCS2 cuff connector located on the PCS2 rear panel.
Biohazard waste
bag
The biohazard waste bag is designed to collect any biologically contaminated
material from the centrifuge well in the rare case of a spill or leak. Two biohazard
waste bags are supplied with the delivery of each PCS2 device.
A bag must be attached at all times to the centrifuge drain tube, located at the
rear of the device. The bag must hang freely, with the clamp open, visible to the
operator.
Warning: The biohazard waste bags are not to be used to collect or store aph-
eresis products. When a bag contains evacuated waste products, it must be
clamped, removed and properly disposed of, according to the local policies con-
cerning biologically contaminated material. A new bag must be placed before
resuming operation.
