  • Page 12: Overview Of The Mcs+ Device

    Introduction MCS+ D VERVIEW EVICE Using the latest computer and blood processing technology, the Haemonetics MCS®+ Device LN 9000 (see Figure 1-1) collects blood components, including platelets, and plasma. Figure 1-1, The Haemonetics MCS+ Device LN 9000 The MCS+ Device combines advanced technology with portability and ease-of- use.
  • Page 13 Introduction Among the characteristics of the MCS+ device are: • A third pump, referred to as the White Pump, that enables the MCS+ de- vice to maintain a more consistent “critical flow,” gaining better control of the platelet collection process. Note: The White Pump has also been referred to as the Plasma Pump and the Surge Pump.

    2-20 System Description During Draw, the presence of fluid in the blood line within the BLAD allows the machine to account for blood pumped. This volume is displayed as “Volume Processed” on the display screen during Draw and Return. Donor Line Air The Donor Line Air Detector 1 (DLAD 1) monitors the donor/patient line.
  • Page 35: Pumps

    System Description 2-21 Warning! An air detection by the DLAD 2 during Return may indicate a failure of the BLAD. The operator must carefully note the source of air detected. Remove the air from the line, follow- ing the procedures given in Chapter 5, Notice Messages and Troubleshooting.
  • Page 36: Anticoagulant Pump

    2-22 System Description The MCS+ device also continuously controls the speed of the White Pump so that the critical flow remains constant even if the speed of the Blood Pump changes during the procedure. For example, if donor flow decreases and the Blood Pump speed decreases, the White Pump speed automatically increases to maintain the desired critical flow.

  • Page 45 Chapter Three DISPOSABLES GENERAL ...........3-2 DISPOSABLE SET STORAGE AND HANDLING .
  • Page 46: General

    Disposables ENERAL  The MCS utilizes single-use disposable sets to separate and collect blood. All sets contain a processing chamber, the “bowl,” and tubing and bags, the “harness.” ISPOSABLE TORAGE AND ANDLING Store all disposables in a dry, well-ventilated area that is free from exposure to chemical vapors.
  • Page 47: Bowls

    The bell-shaped bowl used for cellular collections is called the Latham bowl (Figure 3-1), named after the inventor of the original Haemonetics centrifugal processing chamber, Allen Latham, Jr., the founder of Haemonetics Corporation.
  • Page 48 Disposables The rotary seal provides a barrier between the sterile interior sections of the bowl and the outside environment. It is the only point within the Latham bowl struc- ture where the stationary and rotating sections make contact. During Draw (Figure 3-2), anticoagulated whole blood enters the inlet port and is directed down the feed tube to the bottom of the bowl.
  • Page 49: The Latham Bowl "Surge" Process

    Disposables Note: The nature of centrifugal separation is such that the lines of definition between blood components are not distinct. A minimal contamination of an un- desired component with the desired component is to be expected. For example, some platelets may be present in the plasma in a PLP procedure. When the bowl is filled, plasma, the lightest component (and therefore closest to the core) begins to overflow through the effluent path and outlet port (Figure 3-3).
  • Page 50 Once collection is completed, the bowl stops spinning. Due to the loss of cen- trifugal force, the blood remixes. When the bowl is spinning, it appears to be full. However, all Haemonetics bowls are designed with an inner core in which some sterile air is trapped during centrifugation.
  • Page 51: The Role Of The White Pump

    Disposables Once the bowl stops spinning, the Blood Pump reverses and returns the remain- ing blood components to the donor, as shown in Figure 3-5.

    Safety And Donor/Patient Care Precautions The owner should have a current leakage test performed regularly to ensure that the machine continues to meet the 100/500 microampere or less standard. Par- ticular attention should be given to current leakage after an event such as a saline spill or major voltage surge in the house electrical system.
  • Page 60: Twists And Kinks In Tubing

    Safety And Donor/Patient Care Precautions Twists and After loading the harness set on the machine, a careful recheck of the loaded Kinks in Tubing disposable set should be completed to make certain that each section is in the correct position on the machine and that all tubing is free of twists or kinks. Twists and kinks in the tubing can result in hemolysis with high levels of plasma hemoglobin.

  • Page 109: Expected Extracorporeal Volume

    Reference Information Expected The maximum Extracorporeal Volume (ECV) per cycle can be estimated by sub- Extracorporeal tracting the volume of anticoagulant used from the volume processed and divid- ing by the cycle number. The most accurate estimation is obtained during the Volume first return mode.
  • Page 110: Determining Product Volume

    Reference Information To determine the expected maximum % ECV out, divide the expected maximum ECV by the estimated total blood volume of the donor. Expected Maximum ECV Expected % ECV = 100 x Estimated Blood Volume For a platelet procedure a 5’0”, 110 lb. female (estimated blood volume is 3500 ml) with a hematocrit of 38% is expected to have a maximum ECV of 480 ml, and a % ECV of 100 x 480/3500 = 13.7%.
  • Page 111: Calculating Platelet Efficiencies

    Reference Information Calculating The platelet collection efficiency can be calculated by dividing the platelet yield Platelet by the total number of platelets that have been processed. The preferred method of calculating the Platelet Collection Efficiency is based on the average of donor Efficiencies pre- and donor post-platelet counts.

    7-10 Reference Information NTICOAGULANTS ACD-A ACD-A is the most commonly used anticoagulant. The anticoagulant ratio used depends on which component is being collected. The anticoagulant ratio is typ- ically between 1:8 and 1:12. Refer to the appropriate protocol manual for opti- mal anticoagulant ratios.
