Other Setups
This manual does not discuss all the possible setups that are used in different situations. The company
has a number of additional accessories and kits not illustrated in this chapter.
Blood Collection
Once the disposables are in place, vacuum may be applied and blood can be collected. The suction
wand is intended to be used manually under the surgeon’s control. No fixed connection, such as a
suction shunt, shall be made to the patient.
CAUTION
The Waste bag must not be squeezed while treatment is being done and must
have the space to fill up properly. If the bag is squeezed or cannot fill up
properly because it is positioned near an obstacle (for example, a wall) a
reflux toward the bowl or a back pressure might be created sufficient to
cause the liquid to leak from the bowl seal
CAUTION
A failed or improper connection of the lines can lead to the risk of gas or
liquids entering the circuit from the environment.
CAUTION
Strictly adhere to these disposable installation instructions to guarantee the
proper execution of the treatment. In particular, be careful with the:
(a) proper connection of the RBC bag to avoid leakage of red blood cells,
(b) proper connection of the wash bag to guarantee proper washing, and
(c) proper connection of the reservoir to allow access to the blood to be
processed.
CAUTION
At the end of installation verify that the bowl outlet is not crushed or
obstructed.
