PROCEDURES
Cleaning the optical lenses
The optical bowl sensor, located in the upper portion of the centrifuge well,
contains a window which covers the two lenses. The window should be
cleaned with a soft, damp, lint-free gauze moistened with water
only
.
The effluent line sensor contains two optical lenses in the line sensor groove.
The operator should carefully pass the gauze through this groove to clean
and then dry the sensor.
Caution: The optical sensors must be clean and clear to function properly. A
dirty or clouded lens could interfere with proper operation of the sensor. An
optical lens should always be cleaned after a blood spill.
Cleaning the centrifuge well
The centrifuge well should be routinely cleaned with a damp, lint-free cloth
(or gauze). The towel can be dampened with a mild detergent spray to
improve cleaning.
Caution: The operator should never use full-strength bleach directly on the
device; a bleach/water solution or some other disinfectant may be indicated.
The centrifuge base contains mechanical chuck clips which must be kept
clean. The clips must be thoroughly cleaned after any spills. A dirty or
blocked clip may no longer hold the bowl correctly in place. If a clip is not
functioning properly, the operator must contact an authorized Haemonetics
representative.
Cleaning the fluid detectors
The CS5+ device contains two fluid detectors: one inside of the centrifuge
well above the chuck, one exterior to the bowl on the panel to the left of the
bowl. The metallic surface of the detector should be cleaned using a cotton
swab moistened with 70% alcohol.
Cleaning the blood pump
The blood pump should be cleaned after a spill to keep the rotating parts
moving freely. The roller portion of the pump may be lifted out to be cleaned
as follows:
"
Hold the rollers motionless while unscrewing the pump cover.
"
Clean the area under the roller portion and pump arm until all mov-
ing parts can rotate or slide freely.
"
Secure the roller head back into its original position.
