Storing and Handling the Device and Disposable
Components
Safe and successful operation depends in part on the proper routine handling
of the Cell Saver
® Elite ® + device and disposable components. The user should
be aware of the problems that could result if the device or disposable
components are stored, installed or used incorrectly.
Storing and
Handling the
Device
Alert: If the Cell Saver Elite+ device is stored at a temperature outside the
operating temperature range, allow sufficient time for the device to
equilibrate to room temperature before use. See
Table 9, "Environmental
Specifications" on page 21 .
Do not operate or store the Cell Saver Elite+ device in an area where
flammable gases or vapors are present. The user should always handle the
device with clean, dry hands or disposable gloves.
Storing and
Handling the
Disposable
Components
Minimize the length of storage for disposable components by using products
with an earlier expiration date before using those with a later expiration date.
This is referred to as the first-in, first-out (FIFO) technique.
All disposable components should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area free
from exposure to chemical vapors. Many plastic components are sensitive to
chemicals such as solvents, refrigerants and detergents. The mechanical
properties of plastic may be seriously degraded when exposed to solvent
vapors.
Avoid direct contact of plastic components with all halogenated hydrocarbon-
based anesthetic agents, e.g., Isoflurane (Forane), Enflurane (Efrane or
Ethrane), Halothane (Fluothane or Rhodialothan); these agents attack plastics.
The user should always handle the disposable components with clean, dry
hands or disposable gloves to avoid contaminating the surface of disposable
plastic components with chemicals.
Inspecting the
Components
Prior to installation, the user should inspect the disposable components for
twisted or flattened sections. Any product complaints or concerns should be
reported to Haemonetics in a timely manner.
Note: Adhere to the expiration date printed on the product labeling.
After installing the disposable components, the user should verify the correct
placement of the individual elements, prior to initiating a collection procedure.
It is important that the tubing remain free of any twists or occlusions which
could cause a flow obstruction.
