3. It is very important that the operator address any leaks that arise when a cell expansion set is in use
because a set may occasionally fail. If a cell expansion set fails, it could result in the loss of cell
products or the introduction of air into the set.
4. Periodically inspect the EC (extracapillary) inlet port and the EC outlet port for air, and if either
port contains visible air, remove the air by performing the Remove EC Air task.
5. Periodically inspect the IC (intracapillary) inlet header and the IC outlet header for air, and if either
header contains visible air, remove the air by performing the Remove IC Air task.
6. Do not use chilled fluid to prime the cell expansion set.
7. Use only your fingers to load the cell expansion set. Do not use a sharp object, or you may puncture
the tubing.
8. When loading the cell expansion set, do not turn the internal mounting clips more than a quarter
turn, or you could pinch the tubing.
9. If you have loaded a cell expansion set but you do not plan to prime the set until the following day,
turn off the external gas supply to avoid excess gas buildup in the waste bag.
10. When you seal each line loop, seal it in a location that ensures that each resulting line has a name tag.
For example, the EC media tag should be located on one line and the reagent tag on the other line;
the IC media tag should be located on one line and the wash tag on the other line.
11. When you attach a bag to the cell expansion set, ensure that the bag is attached to the proper line and
that the sterile weld is completely open before starting any tasks.
12. When using the In
‑
line Filter 200 Micron Accessory Set, sterile weld to the blue luer end first or you
may lose the cell product.
