3-2 Disposables
P/N 39551-00, Rev. F
GENERAL
The MCS
+ utilizes single-use disposable sets to separate and collect blood. All
sets contain a processing chamber, the “bowl,” and tubing and bags, the “harness.”
DISPOSABLE SET STORAGE AND HANDLING
Store all disposables in a dry, well-ventilated area that is free from exposure to
chemical vapors. Avoid contaminating the surface of disposable plastic compo
-
nents with chemicals by making sure that hands or gloves contacting the plastic
surface are clean and dry.
Warning! Upon completion of any apheresis procedure, the
used disposables should be considered biohazardous and
should be handled pursuant to those policies and procedures
dictated by your medical facility’s Exposure Control Plan, as le
-
gally required by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard.
The expiration date of the disposable set is noted on the package cover.
INSPECTION
Always inspect the disposable set as it is removed from the package. Be sure
there are no kinks that might obstruct flow through the tubing. Minor imperfec
-
tions do not interfere with blood flow or routine processing.
INSTALLATION
Installation of disposable sets is explained in detail in the appropriate protocol
section.
Note: When handling clean disposables, either wash your hands or apply
clean gloves before opening the protective packaging to eliminate the chance of
powders or other deposits collecting on either machine or disposable component
surfaces. This helps to ensure that the performance of the Optic Sensors is not
adversely affected.
