Figure 5-17 Empty Phase of the Processing Screen
For a detailed explanation of the
Empty phase screen, read
“Empty Screen” on page 5-41.
The volume and Hct of the RBC transferred from the bowl are displayed on the processing displet and
constantly updated by the system’s software. The empty speed can be adjusted from the processing
displet.
The cycle may be paused and resumed using the Pause and Play buttons. Refer to
“Pausing and Resuming the Cycle” on page 5-11.
When the bowl is empty, the pump stops and the cycle has completed.
Note: If, for any reason, you need to stop a cycle before it has completed, please refer to “Stop
Button” on page 5-55.
At the end of the empty phase, the unit automatically starts a new cycle (a new Fill phase) in the
following conditions:
• If the Continue function is on,
• If operating in 1 Touch mode (which implies the Continue function), or
• If the Autostart function is on and the volume inside the reservoir is higher than the programmed
autostart volume.
Otherwise, the Ready Screen is displayed. From the Ready Screen, to begin another processing cycle
(it is also possible to use a different protocol), repeat the process from Step 1 on page 5-8.
Ending the current case will display the End of Case Screen. Follow the instructions in the section
“Ending the Current Case” on page 5-14 to start a new case, or unload the pump loop and shut down
the system.
Pausing and Resuming the Cycle
The cycle may be paused and resumed during any processing phase (and in any
operating mode) by touching the Pause and Play buttons.
Touching the Pause button pauses processing, and the button is replaced by the Play button.
While processing is paused, the pump rotor stops, the word “Paused” flashes in the title bar of the
processing displet, and a countdown timer is visible on the right-hand side of the processing displet’s
title bar while it counts down from 5:00 (minute:seconds—see Figures 5-8, 5-19, and 5-21).
Once all five minutes of the pause timer elapse, the machine enters its stopped state: the centrifuge is
stopped to avoid cell damage and overheating, and the Ready Screen is displayed. Touching the Play
button from the Ready Screen will resume processing in the previous phase (after a short
