Describing the MCS+ Control Panel 3-5
P/N 85213-30, Manual revision: B
Understanding
an operating
mode
An MCS+ mode can be described as the operating state of the device during
specific phases of the apheresis process. Each MCS+ protocol will:
! Prepare the disposable set with AC solution during PRIME.
! Collect donor whole blood, mix the whole blood with AC solution and
spin the anticoagulated blood in the centrifuge bowl, then selectively re-
move the desired components during DRAW.
! Re-infuse the non-collected blood components to the donor during RE-
TURN.
Note: Certain MCS+ protocols, designed to collect components such as platelets,
will contain sub states which are part of the DRAW mode, referred to as SURGE
and DWELL.

Displayed when the device is in a non-active
state, ready for an operator command.
READY
Displayed as donor/patient blood is being
drawn into the centrifuge bowl.

Displayed as collected plasma is being
recirculated through the disposable set.
DWELL/
SURGE
(sub states)
Displayed as blood components/fluids are
being returned to the donor/patient.
