Setting up the
Saline Solution
Alert: The wash solution should be Sterile 0.9% Saline For Injection, USP.
No other wash solutions should be used, as this could lead to hemolysis.
To install the saline solution:
1. Hang the saline solution bags on the lower pigtail of the right IV pole.
2. Close the ratchet clamps on the yellow lines.
3. Spike the saline solution bags and unclamp the lines.

Note: Each wash cycle requires a volume of saline solution that depends on
the size of the bowl in use. By default, the minimum amount of saline solution
used for each bowl size is as follows (these amounts can be increased or
decreased by modifying the settings as described in Chapter 7, “Protocol
Settings” on page 123).
 225 mL bowl: 1000 mL saline solution.
 125 mL bowl: 750 mL saline solution.
 70 mL bowl: 300 mL saline solution.
Regardless of the setting, if a Wash phase is extended, more saline is utilized.
Inspecting the
Installation

1. Inspect all parts of the disposable components and verify that there are
no twists, kinks, or flat spots.
2. Verify that all connections are secure and all appropriate clamps are
closed.
