Ensuring Safe Operation and Patient Care
Warning: A leakage current test should performed routinely to ensure that
the device continues to qualify under the specific leakage current limit.
Particular attention should be given to leakage current after an event such
as a saline spill or a major voltage surge in the electrical system of the
building.
Electrolytic solutions are highly conductive; therefore the operator must
avoid touching any portion of the CS5+ system with wet hands and should
always work with clean, dry hands.
Working with rotating machinery
As with any equipment continuing rapidly rotating parts, the potential for
severe injury exists if personal contact is made or if clothing becomes entan-
gled with the moving parts. The CS5+ device is equipped with a safety
feature which will stop the centrifuge from spinning if the cover is opened.
Warning: Operators or personnel working in proximity of this equipment
should respect the standard precautions applicable to all rotating machin-
ery.
Power outlet connection
To comply with the IEC 60601-1-2:2001 Standard for Medical Electrical
Equipment, general requirements for safety, it is not permitted to power the
Cell Saver 5+ device using a power cord not supplied by Haemonetics, a
multiple portable socket outlet or an extension cord.
Warning about communicable diseases
Despite the application of all tests to screen for communicable disease such
as hepatitis, HIV or syphilis, there is always the risk that the blood being
processed is infected. All blood spills should be cleaned immediately by
following policies and procedures as outlined by each medical facility for
infection control.
All disposable material should be eliminated according to the local standard
operating procedure concerning biologically contaminated material and
biohazard waste. It should not be mixed with non-biologically contami-
nated waste.
