Centrifuge Well (See Figure 2-6.)
The centrifuge that is installed in your CS5+ System utilizes six mechanical clips
on the centrifuge chuck which secure the bowl base as the bowl is snapped into
place. No tools are necessary to load the bowl.

Warning: The bowl base (or adapter) must be firmly installed and evenly seated
in the centrifuge chuck. If the centrifuge chuck spins with the bowl base (or
adapter) not evenly seated, as indicated by bowl wobbling or noise, bowl
damage will occur and the procedure must be discontinued.
Warning: Do not grease any part of the mechanical centrifuge. If grease has
been applied to the mechanical chuck, contact Haemonetics hotline
immediately.
Bowl Optics Sensors
Photoelectric bowl optics sensors mounted in the centrifuge well advance the
machine from FILL to WASH (or CONC to WASH) when the RBCs reach a
predetermined level within the bowl.
