Maintaining the MCS+ Equipment 5-5
P/N 85213-30, Manual revision: B
Haemonetics recommends that the operator wear protective gloves to avoid
direct contact with the cleaning solution and/or any spilled blood which may be
present.
In the case of a larger spill, fluid and/or blood may be evacuated into the
biohazard waste bag. The operator should complete the following additional
steps and contact the local Haemonetics representative for further instructions
before using the device:
" Irrigate the centrifuge drain holes with cleaning solution, until the drain
tube is rinsed clear of the spilled material.
" Remove the bag and replace it with a new bag.
" Dispose of the used waste bag according to local established policies con-
cerning the disposal of biohazard waste.
Note: A 50 ml syringe of attached to a 20 cm section of disposable tubing placed
in the drain holes can be used for irrigation. The biohazard waste bag should be
monitored to avoid overfilling.
Warning: An authorized Haemonetics technician should perform a leakage cur-
rent control after any major fluid spill involving the MCS+ device. Leakage cur-
rent represents a primary indication of electrical shock hazard and should be
checked according to guidelines as described in local standard operating proce-
dures.
Pumps The pump rotors should be removed from the well with the hexagonal head
wrench.
Debris should be removed from the rotors and the pump wells on a routine basis,
as well as after any spills, to contribute to efficient MCS+ operation.
For routine cleaning, the operator should:
" Remove the pump rotor from the housing, using the hexagonal head
wrench to remove the pump screw.
" Wipe the rotor and remove all debris from the rollers, using warm water
and lint-free cloth or gauze.
" Dry with lint-free cloth (or compressed air, if is available).
" Clean and dry the pump well using the same method.
" Ensure that all of the rollers spin freely and replace the pump rotor in the
well, aligning the cross pin in the rotor with the pump shaft.
" Replace and tighten the hexagonal head screw.
In the case of a fluid spill, the same cleaning method should be followed;
however, disinfectant cleaning solution should be used, followed by a clear
water rinse. The pump rotor should not be immersed in water.
