  woodjohnAug 7, 2025
  If your Haemonetics Medical Equipment's touch screen is not refreshing correctly and parts of the screen appear frozen, try this: Touch 'Menu,' then select a different option from the drop-down list than the one currently displayed. This should refresh the screen. After the screen refreshes, touch 'Menu' again and re-select the original option from the drop-down list to return to the first screen.

  Elizabeth StanleyAug 16, 2025
  If the 'Waste Bag Full' message appears on your Haemonetics Medical Equipment, you should either empty or replace the waste bag. After doing so, touch 'Continue' to proceed. When emptying the waste bag, make sure the fluid level in the bag stays above the 1-liter mark. When replacing the waste bag, ensure the bowl is empty; if not, return its contents to the reservoir and process them again.

  If your Haemonetics Medical Equipment detects air during the fill process, first ensure that the red line clamp is open. Then, inspect the tubing for any kinks or occlusions. If there is additional fluid in the reservoir, touch 'Fill' to resume filling the bowl. Alternatively, you can touch 'Conc' to continue filling the bowl with red cells from the RBC bag or touch 'Wash' to wash a partial bowl.

  justin56Nov 2, 2025
  If you're experiencing decreased air flow or aspiration problems with your Haemonetics Medical Equipment, it could be due to an air leak or an obstruction. First, ensure the vacuum line is securely connected to both the device and the reservoir, and check for any leaks. Make sure the reservoir has no open tubes or ports, and that the A&A line is correctly connected. Also, inspect the reservoir itself for leaks. If the issue continues, consider using an alternate suction source. Alternatively, check the vacuum tubing and A&A line for any obstructions or kinks. Have the surgeon inspect the suction wand for potential occlusions and check the junction of the A&A line and reservoir for any blockages. Ensure the reservoir isn't full. You might also try briefly increasing suction to clear the lin...

  If your Haemonetics Laboratory Equipment is experiencing decreased airflow or aspiration issues, there are several potential causes and solutions: * **Air Leak:** Ensure the vacuum line is securely connected to the device and the collection reservoir, checking for any leaks. Verify that the collection reservoir has no open tubes or ports and that the A&A line is correctly connected. Also, inspect the collection reservoir itself for leaks. If the problem persists, consider using an alternate suction source. * **Obstruction:** Check the vacuum tubing and the A&A line for any obstructions or kinks. Ask the surgeon to check the suction wand for possible occlusion. Examine the junction of the A&A line and the collection reservoir for any occlusions. Ensure the reservoir is not full. You mi...
