Persistent Redness in Plasma Line
During certain conditions, red blood cells can flow from the
separation chamber to the plasma container. Under these
circumstances, the plasma line going from the centrifuge to the
cassette may remain red for up to two minutes.
If redness persists in the plasma line coming from the centrifuge
for more than two minutes, discontinue the procedure
immediately without fluid return and disconnect the donor.
WARNING: Do not attempt to reinfuse blood components
following fluid leaks or spills, when the instrument is
operating with unexpected noise or vibration, or when a
procedure is ended due to persistent redness in the plasma
tubing line coming from the centrifuge. In these instances,
the products must be discarded.
Unintentional Power OFF
If the power to the instrument is unintentionally turned OFF
during a procedure, all procedure information is lost. In this
situation, follow the instructions below.
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.
1.
Close the clamp on the donor line.
2.
Clamp the lines coming from the anticoagulant and red cell
preservation solution containers with a hemostat.
3.
Disconnect the donor. Follow appropriate institutional
guidelines for venipuncture site care.
4.
Remove the kit.
5.
Turn the instrument ON.
CAUTION: The battery will not resume the procedure in the
case of power loss due to accidental switching of the power
switch to OFF during a procedure.
