WARNING: If the instrument is accidentally turned OFF
during a procedure, immediately isolate the donor from the
instrument by closing the clamp on the donor line. Do not
turn the instrument ON with the donor connected.
WARNING: Do not open the cassette compartment door
while a donor is attached to the instrument.
CAUTION: Ensure solution breakaway cannulae are
completely broken. Failure to completely break the cannulae may
result in restricted fluid flow.
CAUTION: The system monitors the weight of containers
hanging on the scales. Do not lift or pull on the containers, as
this may cause alarms.
CAUTION: Handle all blood and plasma as though they are
infectious and biohazardous. Always clean and disinfect spilled
blood or plasma immediately.
CAUTION: Do not switch the power OFF during a procedure,
as this will immediately end the procedure and may result in the
need for service. The instrument cannot resume from the point
at which the power was turned OFF.
CAUTION: Do not start a second procedure while on back-up
battery supply.
CAUTION: An increase in the saline rate to improve flow
during manual reinfusion may be required when reinfusing high
hematocrit blood from the red cell container.
CAUTION: Red blood cells collected from some donors may
have extended filtration times resulting in the potential for
ineffective filtration and leukoreduction. The final product (after
filtration) should be evaluated for residual leukocytes and red cell
quality any time a reduction of flow through the leukoreduction
filter occurs during the automated leukoreduction filtration
process. The procedure information screen will display a
message if the product needs to be checked.
CAUTION: If the operator terminates the leukoreduction
process, an adequate amount of red cell preservation solution
may not have been added to the red cell product to support
42-day storage. Disposition of the product should be left to the
medical director.
CAUTION: Failure to follow instructions prior to venipuncture
may result in dilution of whole blood sample.
