Troubleshooting
Using Semi-Automatic Mode
When the system is operating in Semi-Automatic mode, the AIM system does not control the position of the
interface. The system controls the interface position using the entered hematocrit and other procedure values.
There are two reasons to enter Semi-Automatic mode:
•
You may choose to enter Semi-Automatic mode with the AIM system enabled if certain procedure conditions
occur.
•
You may be required to disable the AIM system and enter Semi-Automatic mode to resume the procedure if
certain alarm conditions occur.
Entering Semi-Automatic Mode With the AIM System Enabled
•
Exchange procedures: You may choose to enter Semi-Automatic mode because the AIM system did not
correctly identify the position of the interface due to a patient condition. The AIM system continues to
monitor the interface position although it does not control it. Since the AIM system remains enabled, you
may return to Automatic mode at any time.
•
Collection and depletion procedures: You may choose to enter Semi-Automatic mode to control the
concentration of cells that flow through the collect port. The AIM system monitors the interface position but
it does not control the position. The system displays the image of the collect port on the main run screen and
the collection status screen. It also displays the status of the collection on the trend graph on the collection
status screen, but does not display the collection preference. Since the AIM system remains enabled, you may
return to Automatic mode at any time.
Perform the following steps to enter Semi-Automatic mode with the AIM system enabled:
1
Touch the
Run
menu button. The run tabs appear.
2
Touch the
Operation Status
tab. The operation status screen appears.
3

To return to Automatic mode, perform the following steps:

.

If you are performing an exchange procedure, continue to monitor the interface position to ensure that it
does not drift from the intended position.
Entering Semi-Automatic Mode With the AIM System Disabled
When the AIM system is disabled, it does not monitor or control the interface position. During collection and
depletion procedures, the system does not display the image of the collect port on the main run screen or on the
collection status screen. It also does not display the collection preference on the trend graph on the collection status
screen. A button to disable the AIM system appears on the alarm screen. Once you disable the AIM system, you
must complete the procedure in Semi-Automatic mode.
Note:
Semi-Automatic mode is not available during an RBCX procedure.
