Describing the Cell Saver 5+ System Components
Centrifuge well
The centrifuge well contains a chuck to secure the bowl in place. There are
no screws to tighten. The operator should place the bowl on the centrifuge
chuck, close the centrifuge arm around the top of the bowl and lock the
centrifuge knob. Further details will be provided in the subsequent chapters
concerning disposable set installation.

Fluid detectors
The CS5+ system is equipped with an electronic fluid detection system
designed to detect the presence of liquid. The CS5+ safety system will auto-
matically stop the centrifuge and pump if there is contact between liquid of
any sort and the fluid detector(s) located inside the centrifuge well and to
the left of the bowl.
Optical bowl sensor
A photoelectric sensor mounted in the centrifuge will detect when the RBCs
reach a predetermined level within the bowl and will advance the process
states from FILL to WASH (or CONC to WASH) in the AUTOMATIC mode.
Warning: The optical bowl sensor is disabled in the manual mode.
