Describing the MCS+ Disposable Collection Material 4-3
P/N 85213-30, Manual revision: B
PRESENTING AN MCS+ DISPOSABLE SET
Haemonetics has designed single-use, disposable elements for MCS+ apheresis
procedures. The disposable elements, when grouped together, are referred to as
the disposable set. The disposable sets are described in greater detail in each
specific protocol manual.
All disposable sets will contain three basic sections:
! A disposable centrifuge bowl.
! “Harness-in” tubing and elements.
! “Harness-out” tubing and elements.
The centrifuge bowl is the central element of any disposable set. The “harness-in”
section is attached to the inlet port of the bowl and extends to the donor. The
“harness-out” section is attached to the outlet port of the bowl and extends to the
final collection product(s).
The disposable tubing sections manufactured by Haemonetics contain various
combinations of elements and the choice of disposable material depends on:
! The final blood components to be collected.
! The selected MCS+ protocol.
The following general categories exist among the types of disposable set material
which can be used for an MCS+ collection protocol.
Closed set This type of disposable set will contain the basic elements required for blood
component collection as well as a pre-attached needle and a bacteriological filter
on each solution line tubing section. These factory-attached elements will guar-
antee an extra measure of sterility and security for the final collection product(s).
Bundled set A bundled set contains disposable material with a pre-connected bowl. Various
pre-assembled combinations of elements can be used, depending on the type of
final plasma product to be collected.
Unbundled set It is possible to combine individually packaged MCS+ disposable elements to
form a collection set. These elements can be combined in different ways to meet
specific apheresis center procedure requirements.
Note: Certain disposable sets used for MCS+ plasmapheresis applications will re-
quire the use of pump manifold adapters, ordered separately from Haemonetics.
