Describing the MCS+ Disposable Collection Material 4-13
P/N 85213-30, Manual revision: B
HARNESS-OUT TUBING AND ELEMENTS
Effluent line
section
This section of disposable tubing extends from the centrifuge bowl to the collec-
tion container(s). It will transport centrifuged blood components through the line
sensor before being collected. The following elements will be present on the
MCS+ effluent tubing section.
Bowl connector
This element on the harness-out section attaches the effluent tubing assembly to
the outlet port of the centrifuge bowl.
Y-connector/three-way connector
These connectors create the junction in which the single-lumen needle tubing
section can branch into multiple sections.
Collection bags
The blood components can be collected in a variety of sizes and forms of bags,
depending on the MCS+ protocol requirements.
Plasma collection container(s)
Plasma can be collected in either a bag or a bottle. The type and number of
plasma collection containers used for a procedure will depend on the disposable
material chosen by the apheresis center. The plasma collection bags vary in total
volume capacity.
Leukocyte reduction filter
A PALL membrane filter can be found in various combinations of size, number
and location on certain MCS+ disposable sets. This type of filter will reduce the
quantity of leukocytes which pass into the final collection product(s).
SPM line section The hydrophobic 0.22 µm filter on this section links the disposable set to the
MCS+ system pressure monitor. It is located on the harness-out section of a
“closed” set and provides a bacteria-free connection between the disposable set
and the SPM.
