Processing Set Elements
The processing set collects, washes and separates blood into RBCs and
waste. The processing set includes the following parts:
Tubing harness: the color-coded lines and the plastic tubing manifold.
Bags: the RBC bag and waste bag.
Bowls: the centrifuge bowl (70 mL, 125 mL, or 225 mL)
Figure 27, Example of processing set components
Tubing Harness The processing set tubing harness contains four lines and a tubing manifold:
The red line connects to the unprocessed blood source.
The yellow line connects to the saline solution.
The blue line attaches to the RBC bag.
The tubing manifold holds the tubing in place in the pump module and
holds the clear tubing going to the centrifuge.
All three color-coded lines pass through the pinch valves in the valve module.
The three colored lines combine into a single clear line as they leave the valve
module and enter the pump module.
The clear line passes through the pump, air detector, and valve module and
enters the centrifuge well. Inside the well, the line connects to the inlet port of
the bowl.
The effluent line, connected to the outlet port of the bowl, exits the centrifuge
well through the effluent line sensor and connects to the waste bag.
