Waste Bag
The X
TRA
Waste bag (see Figure 3-33) has a 10-liter capacity, a slide clamp on the inlet port, and a
drain valve on the outlet port. The bag is hung from two pins on the right side of the X
TRA
system and
receives the overflow from the centrifuge bowl during the Fill and Wash phases.
Figure 3-33 Waste Bag
During processing, the microprocessor continuously calculates the amount of fluid moved into the
Waste bag. When the bag is 90 percent full (9,000 ml), processing pauses and both audible and visual
alarms occur. The bag has a volume scale (approximate) on its outside face to enable the operator to
visually estimate the accumulated waste volume.
The drain valve on the waste bag outlet port should be kept closed during processing. The bag may be
emptied by releasing the valve, thus allowing the waste fluid to drain into a bucket. Alternatively, the
Waste bag may be discarded and replaced with a new one. Additional Waste bags are available from
the company.
The handle of the waste bag allows easy transport for disposal at the end of the procedure.
WARNING
In order to comply with “General Requirements for basic safety and
essential performance of Medical electrical equipments” (IEC
60601-1, Rules preventing instability), it is requested that the waste
bag not be filled with more than 9 liters of waste liquid.
WARNING
All contents of the waste bag are not intended for further processing
and must be properly discarded.
CAUTION
The clamp on the inlet port of the waste bag must be open during blood
salvage processing.
