Pump Start/Stop key
This key can be used to either stop the pumps, or re-start the pumps (if stopped
by the operator). Pressing this key does not affect centrifuge operation.
Caution: If the pumps have been stopped using this key, and remain stopped for
longer than two to three minutes during DRAW later, the bowl may become over-
packed with red cells, because the centrifuge will continue to spin. This can cre-
ate a potential flow problem during RETURN. The operator should return the
bowl contents to the donor before proceeding with DRAW.
Cuff control key During normal MCS+ operation, the cuff will automatically inflate during DRAW
and deflate during RETURN. The operator can use the cuff key to manually
control the pressure cuff prior to a procedure when performing the venipuncture,
or during READY or DRAW mode to modify cuff pressure. The cuff cannot be
inflated during RETURN.

Programming
keys
Certain system operating parameters have been selected by Haemonetics as
default values. These parameters provide optimal results in MCS+ apheresis
procedures with the average donor, as well as for average collection require-
ments. However, it is possible to alter and subsequently retain the altered param-
eters for specific collection requirements using the MCS+ programming keys.

Note: Further explanation about these parameters is provided in each respective
MCS+ protocol manual.
