Centrifuge system
The centrifuge chuck, seated in the centrifuge well, is designed to hold the disposable blow molded bowl (BMB) in place during operation and spin the bowl up to 8000 revolutions per minute (rpm).
The centrifuge lid, referred to as the cover, contains a locking knob; it will secure the disposable bowl in the chuck while isolating the spinning bowl from the oper­ator. The centrifuge drain tube, located at the rear of the device, must be connected at all times to the biohazard waste bag supplied by Haemonetics.
When installing a bowl, the operator should exert a downward pressure on the head of the bowl and ensure that the bowl is completely seated. The bowl will be completely secured once the operator has locked the centrifuge lid. To remove a bowl at the end of a procedure, the operator should open the centri­fuge lid and pull upward on the bowl.
Warning: It is unlikely that a properly installed centrifuge bowl will become unaligned as it spins. If the operator does notice anything unusual, under no circumstances, should the operator attempt to open the centrifuge lid if the bowl is still spinning. The bowl must come to a complete stop before attempting to open the centrifuge for any reason.
Fluid detector
The centrifuge well is equipped with an electronic fluid detection system designed to detect the presence of liquid. The detector is mounted on the wall of the centrifuge well. The ACP 215 safety system will automatically stop the centri­fuge and the pumps if there is contact between liquid of any sort and the fluid detector.

Pumps Located on the left side of the ACP 215 top deck are two pumps which use peri-
staltic movements to displace fluids through the disposable set tubing.
Figure 2-4, ACP 215 pump rotor
Blood Pump
The blood pump will rotate during certain procedures simultaneously with the solution pump to direct solution to the RBC bag. As the bowl is filling, the blood pump directs the RBC product to the bowl.
Pressure moni­tors
At the end of certain procedures, the blood pump directs the final product from the bowl to the final product bag.
Solution Pump
The solution pump will rotate at certain points during the procedures to transfer solution to the RBC bag.
As the bowl is filling, or when transferring the final product from the bowl back to the RBC bag or the final product bag, the solution pump is stopped.
There are two electronically controlled pressure monitors on the ACP 215 device, which function with the correlating filter on the disposable set to measure pres­sure in the disposable tubing. The pressure monitors provide feedback to the system about the flow of blood components.
The draw pressure monitor (DPM), located on the left side of the top deck, measures pressure in the blood line tubing.
The system pressure monitor (SPM), located on the right side of the top deck, measures pressure in the effluent tubing. This measurement verifies that the sterile seal, between the head and the body of the centrifuge bowl, remains intact.
If a pressure monitor detects that pressure is outside of acceptable limits, the ACP 215 safety system will interrupt the procedure and provide an explanatory message.
P/N 85271-30, Manual revision: C
Page 20
2-6 Presenting the ACP 215 Equipment
Valves There are six pneumatic pinch valves located on the ACP 215 top deck which
automatically control the flow of fluids through the disposable set tubing. These valves are color-coded to facilitate accurate tubing installation.
The ACP 215 safety system will control the valves during the self-diagnostic tests. Once the operator has selected a procedure, the appropriate valves will automat­ically open, in preparation for installing the disposable set tubing. In case of power failure, the valves revert to a closed status.
Air detectors The ACP 215 device is equipped with two ultrasonic sensors designed to detect
the presence of air, bubbles or foam in the fluids flowing through the disposable set tubing. The solution line air detector (SLAD) is located to the right of the solu­tion pump. The blood line air detector (BLAD) is located to the right of the blood pump.
In the case of an occlusion in the tubing, or an interruption in the fluid flow, the pump(s) will stop and a message will be displayed with information about the condition.
Figure 2-5, Example of an air detector
Optical line sensor
Located on the right side of the ACP 215 top deck is the optical line sensor which monitors the blood components passing through the effluent tubing.
Caution: The line sensor will not provide accurate readings if the optical lens it is obstructed in any way; thus the lens must be cleared of any extraneous sub­stances to ensure proper functioning of the system.
Further information about specific functions of the line sensor is provided in each procedure operation manual.
Solution bag pole Located on right side of the ACP 215 cabinet is a height-adjustable pole, used to
hang solution bags during the procedure. There is a knob located on the base of the pole that permits the operator to adjust the height of the pole by pulling the knob outward to extend or retract the pole.

CLEANING PROCEDURES

To ensure consistent performance of the device, the operator needs to primarily perform routine cleaning of the components. A record of routine cleaning should be kept along with any routine or preventive service maintenance performed by a Haemonetics representative. An example of a cleaning and routine mainte­nance form is provided at the end of this chapter. Annual preventive mainte­nance should be performed by a Haemonetics service representative.
The frequency and type of cleaning each ACP 215 device will depend on the number of procedures performed. Special cleaning needs may arise and should be dealt with promptly. Haemonetics recommends the following routine cleaning schedule for each device, based on an average of three procedures per day, or approximately sixty per month. Adjustments should be made to the cleaning schedule according to the actual number of procedures performed.
! Daily: Clean the exterior surfaces. ! Weekly: Clean the pressure monitors, air detectors, optical sensors (line
sensor and optical bowl sensor), the fluid detector and the inside of the centrifuge well.
Listing tools and cleaning supplies
! Monthly: Clean the pump rotors and the pump wells. ! Quarterly: Clean the filter screens.
Warning: To eliminate the potential danger of electrical shock, the operator must clean the ACP 215 device only when it is disconnected from an external power source.
A tool kit has been included with each device containing the following articles.
! Phillips-head screwdriver, to remove the retainer plate from the air vent. ! Allen (hexagonal head) wrench, to remove the pump heads from the pump
assembly.
! A brush, to remove loose debris within the roller assembly. ! Silicon lubricant, used for the O-ring gasket of the centrifuge chuck.
The following list describes the basic material required for routine cleaning.
! Disinfectant cleaning solution, specific for blood borne pathogens. ! Clear warm water. ! 70% Isopropyl alcohol. ! Lint-free gauze or cloth for cleaning and drying. ! Cotton swabs. ! Protective gloves. ! Spray bottle, recommended for cleaning the centrifuge well.
P/N 85271-30, Manual revision: C

Maintaining the ACP 215 Equipment 3-3
Exterior surfaces, valves, shaker and printer
Pressure monitors
The exterior cabinet, keypad, display screen, valves, shaker and printer should be wiped daily, as well as following any spill, using an appropriate cleaning solu­tion.
The pressure monitors (DPM/SPM) should be cleaned in the following manner.
" Depress and hold the white ring as if installing the disposable filter. " Wipe the silver tube thoroughly, using a circular motion and warm water
only.
" Dry the tube and release the pressure on the ring.
Caution: It is very important to use only water on the pressure monitor rod. Alcohol or cleaning solution residue could cause a reaction with the plastic material of the corresponding disposable set filter and affect the function of the filter.
Air detectors The air detectors (SLAD/DLAD) are designed with a groove to hold the disposable
tubing. The contents of the tubing are monitored by the sensors which are located internally on either side of this groove. If a procedure is interrupted due to an air detector alarm, the operator should remove the tubing and clean the groove before continuing the procedure.
Optical line sensor
The operator should use only warm water and lint-free gauze to clean and dry inside of the tubing grove. The groove should be kept free of any particles, such as powder residue from disposable gloves, since this could lead to an erroneous detection of air.
Caution: Alcohol may cause the plastic housing to degrade and must not be used to clean the air detectors.
The line sensor contains two very small lenses which are centered on either side of the disposable tubing groove. The lenses must be kept completely free of parti­cles or debris which could produce inaccurate readings and influence the device performance.
The operator should carefully pass lint-free gauze moistened with warm water
only through the groove to clean, then dry the lenses.
Caution: If cleaning solution should come into contact with the optical sensor
lenses, the lenses should be cleaned immediately with lint-free gauze and warm water, then thoroughly dried. Dried cleaning solution can leave an opaque film on the lens.
P/N 85271-30, Manual revision: C
Page 28
3-4 Maintaining the ACP 215 Equipment
Pumps The pump rotors should be removed from the well with the Allen/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 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 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.
Fluid detector The fluid detector is located inside of the centrifuge well. The surface of the
detector should be cleaned using a cotton swab moistened with 70% alcohol.
Centrifuge components
The centrifuge well, chuck, hinged lid and locking knob can be wiped routinely using the cleaning solution and a lint-free cloth.
After a major cleaning, the operator should apply a small amount of the silicon lubricant to the O-ring gasket to prevent it from cracking. It is not necessary to remove the gasket when applying the lubricant.
Cleaning after a blood spill
In the case of a blood spill, the operator should:
" Power off the device and disconnect it from the external power source
before cleaning.
" Ensure that the equipment waste bag is attached to the drain tube and
hangs freely.
" Wipe the centrifuge lid with cleaning solution. " Clean the centrifuge chuck and well using the disinfectant solution and a
lint-free cloth until all traces of blood components are removed.
" Lubricate the O-ring gasket with a small amount of the silicon lubricant.
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.
P/N 85271-30, Manual revision: C
Page 29
Maintaining the ACP 215 Equipment 3-5
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.
" Wipe away as much blood as possible with gauze pads. " 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
concerning the disposal of biohazard waste.
Note: A 50 ml syringe 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 current control after any major fluid spill involving the ACP 215 device. Leakage current represents a primary indication of electrical shock hazard and should be checked according to guidelines as described in local standard operating procedures.
Filter screens The ACP 215 device is equipped with filter screens on the bottom of the cabinet,
which eliminate dust from incoming cool air. The filters should be cleaned routinely, especially if dust becomes visible on the screens.
To clean the filters, the operator should:
" Remove the retainer plates using a Phillips-head screwdriver. " Remove the filter screens from the panel. " Rinse the screens under running water - DO NOT use any cleaning agents. " Gently squeeze the screens to remove excess water. " Place the screens on a clean, dry cloth and allow to dry completely. " Reinsert the screens into the panel, ensuring that all openings are
completely covered by the filter.
" Replace the retainer plates and tighten the screws.
Warning: To avoid electrical shock, the filter screen should be completely dry before it is reinstalled on the ACP 215 cabinet.

4-2 Ensuring Safety and Quality for an ACP 215 Procedure

HANDLING THE ACP 215 EQUIPMENT

Safe and successful ACP 215 operation will depend in part on the proper routine handling of the ACP 215 equipment. The operator should be aware of the prob­lems which could result if the device or disposable material is stored, installed or used incorrectly.
Storing the device and material
Inspecting the material
The ACP 215 device must not be operated or stored in an area where flammable gases or vapors are present. The ACP 215 disposable set material should be kept in a dry, well-ventilated area and isolated from any chemical vapors. The operator should handle the disposable set elements with clean, dry hands or gloves.
Prior to installation, the operator should complete a visual inspection of the disposable set elements and control for twisted or flattened sections.
After installing the disposable set, the operator should verify the correct place­ment of the individual elements, prior to initiating a procedure. It is important that the tubing remain free of any twists or occlusions which could cause a flow obstruction.
Warning: Upon completion of any procedure, the used disposable should be considered as biologically contaminated. It must be disposed of according to local standard operating procedure for the removal of such material and should not be mixed with non-biologically contaminated waste.
Installation Installation of the disposable set is explained in detail in each procedure opera-
tion manual.
P/N 85271-30, Manual revision: C
Page 35
Ensuring Safety and Quality for an ACP 215 Procedure 4-3

PREVENTING PROBLEMS DURING AN ACP 215 PROCEDURE

Understanding the risk of hemolysis
Avoiding the consequences of flow restriction
Hemolysis involves the destruction of red blood cell membranes, with the release of free hemoglobin into the plasma portion of the blood. Free hemoglobin does not have the capacity to transport oxygen and can produce serious problems. The remnants of the red cell can stimulate clot formation and damage the vascular nature of the lungs and the kidneys. This could lead to respiratory complications and/or renal failure.
Hemolysis of red cells can occur during a procedure in the rare event of a mechanically induced situation, such as overheating or excessive pressure.
Warning: Forcing a pump to work against a severe flow restriction can lead to hemolysis, and thus, consequently high levels of free hemoglobin. It is important that the operator remain attentive to this fact in the case of any “high pressure” alarms during operation.
If there is any suspicion that hemolysis has occurred, the operator should follow the local SOP applicable in this type of situation. The operator should also contact the local Haemonetics representative if there is any suspicion of a mechanically induced problem.
As the bowl is filling, a flow restriction in the effluent tubing can create pressure on the outlet port of the disposable bowl. This unrelieved pressure can deform the rotary seal of the disposable bowl. If the functional characteristics of the rotary seal are altered, the increased friction and excessive heat can make the contents of the bowl unsuitable for further use.
As the bowl is emptying, a flow restriction in the effluent tubing can cause the pressure in the centrifuge bowl to drop severely. This sudden drop in pressure could potentially produce hemolysis.
To eliminate these potential problems, the operator should not clamp the effluent tubing.
P/N 85271-30, Manual revision: C
Page 36
4-4 Ensuring Safety and Quality for an ACP 215 Procedure
Avoiding bowl misalignment
Avoiding overheating due to mechanical situations
An improperly installed disposable bowl can become misaligned as it spins. This can create excessive friction, and consequently overheat the bowl contents. The operator should follow the bowl seating procedure to ensure proper placement of the bowl in the centrifuge.
Warning: The operator must not use any bowl which cannot be properly seated in the centrifuge chuck. Overheating can occur, subsequently lead to hemolysis and make any blood being processed unsafe for reinfusion. During operation the operator should interrupt the ACP 215 procedure if an abnormality or noise appears, related to the spinning bowl.
Overheating could also result from a mechanical or maintenance-related problem, such as a defective bearing or seal within the centrifuge well. In this case, the operator should contact the local Haemonetics representative and discontinue use of the device until it is serviced.
Warning: If any component of the ACP 215 device has become overheated during a procedure, and thus overheats the blood being processed, the blood components cannot be considered safe for re-infusion.

WARNINGS FOR THE OPERATOR

Electrical shock hazards
Leakage current control
The operator should always use the ACP 215 device with clean, dry hands, or gloves. The internal parts of the device contain various electrical components. Contact with any of these components, when the device is connected to an external powered source, could result in an electrical shock to the operator.
The operator should never remove any of the ACP 215 cabinet panels. Mainte­nance requiring access to the inner cabinet remains the responsibility of a Haemonetics-trained technician.
Each ACP 215 device receives a careful inspection for leakage current prior to leaving the factory. Haemonetics recommends that a control be performed for leakage current by an authorized representative as part of the annual preventative maintenance. It remains the responsibility of the facility to ensure that this control is performed.
In the event of any major spill in which fluid may enter the cabinet, or an impor­tant voltage surge, the operator is responsible to ensure that a leakage current test is performed before re-using the device. The control is necessary to avoid the risk of electrical shock and should be conducted by an authorized Haemonetics representative.
Mechanical hazards/rotating parts
Power outlet connection
As with any equipment containing rapidly rotating parts, the potential for severe injury exists if contact is made, or if clothing becomes entangled with the moving parts. The ACP 215 device contains a safety feature, designed to prevent the centrifuge from spinning if the system has not been properly secured. However, the operator should respect the usual precautions taken when working with equipment containing rotating mechanical parts.
It is not permitted to power the device using a power cord not supplied by Haemonetics, a multiple portable socket outlet or an extension cord.

4-6 Ensuring Safety and Quality for an ACP 215 Procedure
Communicable disease precautions
Despite testing and screening to detect communicable diseases such as hepatitis, syphilis or HIV, the risk remains that the blood being processed may be infected. The operator must take the appropriate precautions when handling blood prod­ucts and disposing of blood-contaminated material, to ensure personal safety as well as the safety of others who may come in contact with the material.
Proper handling of blood contaminated material
If a leak or blood spill should occur, it should be cleaned immediately. The oper­ator should follow the local standard operating procedure outlining the steps to follow and product(s) to be used for the disinfection of blood-contaminated mate­rial.
If any blood-contaminated material must be returned to Haemonetics for further inspection, the operator should consult the RGA Procedure as described in the chapter Maintaining the ACP 215 Equipment.
Proper disposal of biologically contaminated materials
Any disposable material used during an ACP 215 procedure is considered as biologically contaminated. It must be disposed of according to local standard operating procedure for the removal of such material and should not be mixed with non-biologically contaminated waste.

LISTING SYSTEM ERROR MESSAGES

When the ACP 215 device is powered-on, several internal tests are performed. Any test failure will interrupt the test sequence and a system error message will be displayed. If a message of this type is displayed, the operator should record the message, power off the device and contact Haemonetics Field Service.
If for any reason the system has been powered off, or an unexpected power failure has occurred during a procedure, there is no automatic recovery proce­dure. The operator should follow the local SOP applicable in this type of situa­tion.
The following table lists the system error messages with a corresponding code number and relevant operator actions.
