      If the reservoir is not empty, check the air sensor, make sure the tubing going to the bowl is seated properly inside the sensor and the fill line is not occluded/clamped. Press FILL to resume. If this is the last cycle, press LAST BOWL (only if enabled) to automatically complete the case. You can also press CONCENTRATE to start the concentration phase or RETURN (only if present) to return the blood into the reservoir. If the bowl is sufficiently packed with RBCs, you may decide to press WASH to proceed to the Wash phase or 2XWASH to use twice the saline solution.
