Boot Sequence
Boot Sequence
This section describes the boot sequence and when to interrupt that sequence for troubleshooting and
maintenance purposes.
When it is turned on, the Trima Accel device performs a low-level memory check, generating an alarm if
this check fails. If this check is successful, the device moves on to the boot sequence.
It is possible to interrupt the boot sequence for three different scenarios.
The first scenario is to enter Single-Step mode, which is used to connect the device to STS with an FTP
connection, usually after the safety computer fails to boot and dlogs need to be recovered. To enter
Single-Step mode, press and hold the pause button after the memory check until the screen shows that
the pause button is detected. Then press the pause button to advance through each step of the boot
sequence. Stop at the message line “press and release pause button to initialize serial port driver.”
In FTP mode, STS does not auto-discover the Trima Accel device. To connect, select device type Trima
from the drop-down menu and enter the serial number, or enter the IP address 172.21.127.255 to
connect to a new hard drive. Accept any FTP warnings that appear.
The second scenario is to enable the software load installation script, which is used after new software has
been loaded and needs to be installed. To run the installation script, press and hold the pause and stop
buttons after the memory check, a few seconds after the power is on, and hold the buttons until the
message line “Installation script found—release buttons to execute.” Wait for another message line
reading “Installation complete—cycle power to restart.” Then boot to the two-button donor screen, and
check to make sure the changes took place.
Note:
The device allows only one chance to interrupt the normal boot sequence to install new files or software. All
calibration and software data is lost if the device boots to the two-button donor screen after uploading files to the
device. If this installation script is not activated on the first boot, then calibration and software transfer must be
performed again.
The third scenario is to enter Service mode, which is used for software installations, updates, device
maintenance, and device troubleshooting. To enter Service mode, press and hold the pause and stop
buttons after the screen shows the volume checks, and do not release the buttons until the screen
prompts you to do so.
After the boot sequence is finished, the device then checks the power supply voltages, performs valve
position tests, checks the leak detector voltage, and tests the door lock functionality. Without errors to
any of these items the software is then loaded into Procedure mode (two-button donor screen).
Trima Accel® Automated Blood Collection System • Service Manual 1-11
Operational Description
Blood Collection Process
This section describes the blood collection process.
Note: This section describes the blood collection process from the standpoint of the device electronics for field
service personnel. See the Operator’s Manual for detailed procedural information for the operator.
The Trima Accel system operates automatically when it is in Procedure mode. Pumps control the flow of
inlet blood, anticoagulant, platelets, plasma, and return blood. Centrifugal force and the inlet pump
control the red blood cell (RBC) flow. Donor data that is entered at the beginning of the procedure helps
the Trima Accel system perform software calculations (algorithms) that control operations. This donor
data—height, weight, and gender—is used to calculate the total blood volume (TBV) of the individual.
Once the Trima Accel system accumulates this data, it recommends optimal procedures or
combinations of products, and the operator chooses a procedure based on donor time limits. When the
Trima Accel system receives procedure instructions, it can set pump flow rates and centrifuge speed.
Automatic control of the RBC/plasma interface optimizes blood separation.
Figure 1-6: Trima Accel fluid flow diagram
First, the disposable tubing set is loaded onto the Trima Accel system. Once the cassette is loaded, the
Trima Accel system prompts the operator to clamp both the needle line and the sample bag line. The
anticoagulant (AC), return, and inlet pumps are run to pressure test the tubing set. If the tests are not
successfully completed, alarms are generated.
1-12 Trima Accel® Automated Blood Collection System • Service Manual
Blood Collection Process
The Trima Accel system prompts the operator to prime the system by connecting the AC bag. The AC
pump forces anticoagulant through the inlet line to the access and return lines. The operator then
performs the venipuncture and opens the clamp on the needle line. The return pump (rotating in
reverse) pulls blood into the return line until blood reaches the lower-level sensor in the return reservoir.
At this point, the initial priming sequence initiates.
The procedure starts with the inlet pump drawing blood into the Trima Accel system through the
single-needle access. Anticoagulant, pumped by the AC pump at a configured ratio, is infused into the
system close to the needle. The inlet pump continues to pump blood into the centrifuge, which has
started rotation. The centrifuge accelerates at controlled rates, then holds at 2,000 rpm for 2 minutes
before accelerating to its final commanded speed. At this point, the Trima Accel system enters run mode
and the pumps accelerate to their commanded run mode speeds.
The control and safety computers monitor several items during startup of the procedure. The first return
cycle is monitored closely due to the high amount of AC in the Trima Accel system during startup. An
over-delivery of volume during the first return cycle results in a safety shutdown of the Trima Accel
system for this reason. Once the startup phase is complete, return cycle volume problems can cause
alarms, but the procedure can be continued.
The actual separation of blood components occurs inside the channel portion of the tubing set. Whole
blood enters into the channel and is separated into its various components by centrifugal force.
Three valves divert the blood components that are being collected—which may include plasma,
platelets, and/or RBC—into collect bags. If any of these components are not being collected, the valves
route them to the return reservoir located on the front panel of the Trima Accel system. When the
reservoir contains an appropriate volume (approximately 55 mL), the upper-level reservoir sensor
triggers and activates the return pump. The return pump interrupts the incoming flow of blood to the
cassette by pushing return blood back through the single-needle access until the reservoir empties
(reaches the lower-level sensor). The inlet pump remains at a constant speed during this entire cycle.
This causes a small amount of return blood to re-circulate back through the inlet pump and into the
channel, maintaining continuous blood flow to the interface. The AC pump shuts off during the return
cycle. The return pump turns off after the reservoir empties.
Trima Accel® Automated Blood Collection System • Service Manual 1-13
Operational Description
Pump System
The Trima Accel device uses five pumps to move anticoagulant, blood, and blood components through
the disposable tubing set using peristaltic action.
Each pump consists of a pump motor, a pump rotor, a seal, and a raceway housing. The platelet pump
spins at a significantly slower rate than the rest of the pumps, so it needs two magnets in the rotor to
properly measure speed. The platelet pump rotor is marked with a black dot for recognition. The return
pump, which has a larger diameter, is the only pump able to spin in both directions; all other pumps spin
in a counterclockwise direction.

consists of binary on/off information.
The sensor system is made up of the following:
• Two pressure sensors
• Two reservoir level sensors
• The RBC detector
• The anticoagulant (AC) detector
• The leak detector
Motion Feedback Systems
Optical encoders and Hall-effect sensors are used in various subsystems as a feedback loop. These sensor
systems are often paired together, where the primary signal is obtained from one sensor and must match
the secondary signal obtained from the other sensor.
Optical encoders are used by the pumps, the valves, the centrifuge, and the door lock system. All of these
are monitored by the control system except for the door lock system, which is monitored by the safety
system. They function by sensing interruptions in a light beam, counting these interruptions, and
sending that data to the feedback system.
Hall-effect sensors are used as part of the feedback loops for the safety system, and one is used to give door
position information. The Hall-effect sensors are used in the centrifuge motor, the pump housing
raceways, and the door closed sensor. All of these are monitored by the safety system except for the door
closed sensor, which is monitored by the control system. The Hall-effect sensors function when a
transducer senses a magnetic field and then converts that field sensing to an electrical signal that is sent to
the feedback system. The safety system counts these pulses to compare against what the control system
sees with the optical sensors.
There are closed loop and open loop conditions to the feedback systems. Closed loop is the default
condition that uses sensor-derived feedback to directly control the system. An open loop condition
removes the sensor-derived information from the feedback loop.
