Safety and Patient Care Precautions P/N 53063-50, Manual Revision: B
3-4
The owner should have a leakage current test performed routinely to ensure that
the machine continues to qualify under the 300 microampere standard. Particular
attention should be given to leakage current after an event such as a saline spill
or a major voltage surge in the house electrical system.
In view of the high conductivity of electrolytes, always avoid touching any
portion of the system with wet hands. Always work with clean, dry hands.
Rotating
Machinery
It must be recognized that even small, rapidly rotating parts have enough
dynamic energy to cause severe injury if any part of the person or clothing gets
caught in them. As a safety feature, the CS5+ is equipped with a trip mechanism
that stops the centrifuge if the cover is open.
Warning: Persons operating this equipment or working nearby should take the
standard precautions applicable to all rotating machinery.
Communicable
Disease
Despite the application of all available 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 pursuant to those policies and
procedures dictated by the medical facility’s Infection Control Plan, as legally
required by the OSHA Blood Borne Pathogen Standard.
When any Haemonetics product (equipment or disposables) which has been
used during a procedure is returned to Haemonetics for any reason, the customer
must decontaminate and repackage the product in compliance with the medical
facility’s Infection Control Plan and U.S. Department of Transportation
regulations for interstate shipping of blood contaminated products.
Restrictions
to Flow
Warning: No restriction to flow can be permitted in the effluent line.
If the clamp on the outlet port is inadvertently closed, pressure will build up in
the processing chamber to such an extent that the rotary seal will be raised like a
safety valve to release pressure. This will result in the loss of the pocket of trapped
air and wetting of the rotary seal faces with supernatant. Depending upon the
nature of the supernatant, the functional characteristics of the rotary seal may
become altered. Heating and wear effects may become quite noticeable, and
under this circumstance, the contents of the bowl cannot be considered
appropriate for reinfusion
Warning: Avoid blocking any tubing carrying blood from the pump. A buildup
of pressure in this tubing can result in the wide dispersal of blood.
Observe the waste bag to verify that the accumulation of air in the air/waste bag
is not being prevented by either a flow restriction or an air leak.
