Pull the channel up through the loading port and then through the opening in the center of the filler. To
avoid damaging the chamber and the collect line when using a Collection Set, guide the chamber through
the loading port with one hand as you pull the channel through the loading port with the other hand
(Figure 5-4). Lower the filler latch and lock it in place.

Position the lower collar in the collar holder on the filler latch so that the inlet line (pink line) is not
obstructed by the other lines. Ensure that either the base of the pink line aligns with the space between the
two screws (Figure 5-5, number 1) or is adjacent to the indentation on the filler latch.

Grasp the centrifuge loop below the lower collar and gently pull the collar down until you hear the “click” of
the locking pin as it pops out and locks the collar in the collar holder. Ensure that the notch at the base of
the locking pin (Figure 5-5, number 2) is visible. If the collar is locked, you can see the notch.
