Storage
If the MCH is to be stored for more than seven (7) days, ensure that the unit is drained and
cleaned per the Weekly cleaning procedure listed under the Maintenance section. The system can
be safely stored after performing this procedure. Always store the system drained and dry. The
MCH should be stored in an environment where the temperature range is within 0°–43°C (32°–
100°F), and the relative humidity is less than 95%.
Transportation
The MCH should be transported in either the original carton, or an equivalent carton, to prevent
damage during shipment. If the unit has been in contact with blood, blood components, or body
fluids, it must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before packing. The MCH should not be
exposed to environmental conditions outside of those listed in the Storage section.
Lifting
The MCH-1000(i) should be lifted by no fewer than 2 persons, and should be drained prior to
being lifted. Use proper lifting techniques to avoid injury. The lift points are located at each of
the four corners. The lifters' hands should be wrapped tightly around the wheelbase frame
projections at each corner. For short lifts (e.g., assisting the MCH over low obstacles such as
cords or thresholds ≥10mm), the convenience handles may be used with care. Facing the MCH,
with your back to the obstacle, grasp the handle with both hands, with an underhand grasp, and
lift upward on the handle while pulling the MCH toward you, over the obstacle.
CAUTION: Do not lift the MCH by the drain or water/hose connections. Lifting

by these connectors will cause equipment damage.
