PROCEDURE
This section provides general details about initiating a procedure and
installing a CS5+ system disposable set, regardless of how the system will be
operated for a Cell Saver procedure.
Variations will exist at certain points depending on whether the set contains
a Latham bowl or a 70mL Bowl. These differences which concern primarily
the installation of the centrifuge bowl and the line sensor tubing will be
clearly indicated in the text.
Note: The 70mL Bowl is mainly intended for pediatric use or to improve
blood availability in the case of low bleeding.
Cell Saver 5+ operation is simple. Physical setup involves:
"
Installing the bowl in the centrifuge well.
"
Installing the tubing harness for the passage of fluids in and out of the
system.
"
Hanging the appropriate solutions for washing and anticoagulating
the blood.
The level sensor on the reservoir bracket will automatically initiate the fill
cycle when the appropriate fluid level has been detected. In the MODIFY
state, the operator can change some operational parameters during Protocol
Setup and during various stages of processing.
Caution: The Cell Saver 5+ system is programmed to produce consistently
good results during most procedures. The operator should carefully consider
this prior to making any changes to the original program or operating the
system in the manual mode.
If no modifications are made, the CS5+ device automatically adjusts to the
appropriate bowl size in use during the first fill cycle.
