Describing the MCS+ Centrifuge System 1-3
P/N 85213-30, Manual revision: B
C
ENTRIFUGE BASE
The centrifuge base contains a chuck designed to hold a disposable centrifuge
bowl in place during operation. The MCS+ disposable set can contain either a
Latham bowl, or a blow molded bowl (BMB). The type of bowl used will depend
on the final collection product.
The technique used to install a bowl will depend on the design of the centrifuge
chuck. The following variations exist among MCS+ devices in use:
!
Centrifuge base with a mechanical chuck/factory origin.
!
Centrifuge base with a vacuum chuck/factory origin.
!
Centrifuge base with a mechanical chuck, retrofitted from a vacuum
chuck/factory-origin.
Using a
mechanical
centrifuge chuck
If the MCS+ device contains a mechanical chuck, the clips on the centrifuge base
will hold the bowl in place. When installing a bowl, the operator should exert a
downward pressure on the head of the bowl and ensure that the bowl is
completely seated. The operator will hear a “click” after applying the proper
downward force.
To remove the bowl at the end of the procedure, the operator should grasp the
head of the bowl and pull sideways to release the bowl from the clips while lifting
the bowl out of the centrifuge well.

Caution: The mechanical chuck clips must be kept clean, and should be thor-
oughly cleaned after any spills. A dirty or blocked clip may no longer hold the
bowl correctly. If a clip is not functioning properly, the operator must contact an
authorized Haemonetics representative.
