PROCESS MESSAGES
During normal operation, the MCS
+ provides information on the progress of a
protocol. Process messages are displayed as a normal part of system operation.
Donor pressure is continually displayed, as is the current operating mode (Prime,
Draw, or Return). A typical process message is shown below.
Note in the above display that the current mode is indicated (“PRIMING”), the
current state of the machine is shown (“PUMPS STOPPED”), the donor pressure
is displayed (on the bar graph), and the next step for the operator is suggested
(“Press PRIME to prime the disposable.”).
