Troubleshooting
Performing a Manual Rinseback
Important: You should read and understand these instructions before you attempt to perform a manual
rinseback.
If you are not able to complete a procedure due to an alarm condition, a power interruption, or a system
malfunction, you may choose to perform a manual rinseback. Perform the following steps to complete a manual
rinseback.
Clamping and Sealing the Lines
1
Clamp the inlet and return lines.
2
Close the saline lines.
3
Disconnect the inlet line from the patient.
4
Seal the AC line.
5
Seal the following lines according to the type of tubing set you are using:
• Exchange Set: remove line, replace line
• Collection Set: collect line to the collection bag, plasma line to the plasma bag
• IDL Set: collect line to the collection bag, plasma line to the plasma bag, replace line
6
Turn off the Spectra Optia system.
Draining the Channel
1
Open the centrifuge door. If the door does not open, follow the instructions on page 226 to manually open
the door.
2
Remove the channel from the filler and hang it on the IV pole with the inlet line at the highest point, so that
the fluid in the channel drains into the cassette reservoir.
3
If you are using an Exchange Set, ensure that the RBC valve is in the return position (Figure 16-3), or the
fluid will not drain.
Figure 16-3:

Note:
Ensure that you do not seal the line to the vent bag. If you seal the line, you will not be able to resume
the manual rinseback.
