OVERVIEW OFTHE MCS+ DEVICE
Using the latest computer and blood processing technology, the Haemonetics
MCS®+ Device LN 9000 (see Figure 1-1) collects blood components, including
platelets, and plasma.
The MCS+ Device combines advanced technology with portability and ease-of-
use. The system is lightweight and compact. A removable program card, called
the Protocol Card, makes it possible to upgrade the operating program of your
machine without opening the cabinet.

Introduction 1-3
P/N 39551-00, Rev. F
Among the characteristics of the MCS+ device are:
•A third pump, referred to as the White Pump, that enables the MCS+ de-
vice to maintain a more consistent “critical flow,” gaining better control
of the platelet collection process.
Note: The White Pump has also been referred to as the Plasma Pump and the
Surge Pump.
•A large, interactive user interface that provides ample feedback and
on-line help.
•The “HaemoCalculator” function, which is an integral part of the com-
puter control. The HaemoCalculator allows the operator to input donor
or patient information to optimize the blood component collection pro-
cess.
•The “HaemoUpdate” function, which gives the operator a full running
update of all procedure details at any time.
•A removable Protocol Card that makes it possible to change or
upgradethe collection protocols performed by the MCS+ device without
opening the cabinet and without the help of a service technician.
•A drip monitor that monitors the flow of anticoagulant.
•An identification system that checks the disposable type and ensures that
the appropriate protocol is selected.

GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The MCS+is a lightweight, compact, blood processing instrument. The system
consists of two parts: the machine and the single-use blood processing dispos-
able.
On the inside of the MCS+ device cover, there is a Display Screen on which mes-
sages regarding the operation of the system are shown. Located directly beneath
the Display Screen is a Control Panel through which the operator selects proto-
cols and enters information.
Figure 2-1, System Components
On the front of the MCS+ device cabinet (Figure 2-1)are a Blood Filter Holder
and two pressure monitors that check the pressure in the disposable set. On the
left side of the cabinet is an anticoagulant drip monitor, which monitors the flow
of anticoagulant. On the right side of the cabinet is the Protocol Card door.
In various locations on the cabinet are four air detectors that check for the pres-
ence of fluid or air in the tubing.
On the MCS+ device deck (Figure 2-2) are a Centrifuge in which the processing
chamber is placed and three rotary pumps that move fluids through the system.

2-4 System Description
P/N 39551-00, Rev. F
In various locations on the deck are seven valves that control the fluid pathway.
A Line Sensor monitors the density of fluid in the effluent line of the bowl.
Several disposables are available. Each is designed to provide optimal results
when collecting the specific component required.
All disposables include the following:
a. Tubing harness through which blood flows
b. Centrifuge bowl in which blood is separated into its components
c. Collection bag(s) into which component(s) are collected
POWER ENTRY MODULE
The Power Entry Module, located on the left side of the machine, performs three
functions.
a. ON/OFF. The first function is to power the machine on and off. In case
of an emergency, this button stops all machine function.
b. FUSE PANEL. The second function is to act as a fuse panel to interrupt
power to the machine in the event of excessive current draw.

USER PANEL
The MCS+ device is operated through the User Panel; the system provides infor-
mation regarding the status of procedures through Donor Flow Lights and
through the Display Screen. All keys are covered by a washable plastic cover to
protect them from spills.
The MCS+ device User Panel (Figure 2-3) consists of three main sections: the Do-
nor Flow Lights, the Display Screen, and the Control Panel.
DONOR/PATIENT FLOW INDICATORS
Donor Flow
Lights During Draw, the Donor Flow Lights (Figure 2-4), located on both sides of the
deck and on the cover, indicate the status of the flow to and from the donor/pa-
tient. If the programmed pump speed is not compatible with the flow, adjust the
Blood Pump speed using the pump keys located on the control panel to meet the
individual donor/patient requirement.
During Draw, one of the Donor Flow Lights is illuminated.

Figure 2-4, Donor Flow Lights
The four sets of Donor Flow Lights are located at the top of the panel, the sides
of the cabinet, and the outside of the cover.
These lights indicate status of the flow: Normal (green), Low (yellow), None (red),
or Return (yellow).
NORMAL FLOW
The green lights are illuminated to indicate that the Blood Pump is able to main-
tain a speed greater than 2/3 of the programmed speed. The Blood Pump’s speed
decreases by 5 ml/min each second if the donor/patient pressure falls below -50
mmHg. Once the donor/patient pressure increases again, the pump speed in-
creases at a rate of 5 ml/min each second. This pressure is measured and com-
municated to the MCS+ device computer by the Donor Pressure Monitor (DPM).
LOW FLOW
The yellow Donor Flow Lights are illuminated to indicate that the donor/patient
flow rate is below 2/3 of programmed speed.
NONE
The red light is illuminated to indicate that there is no flow. When the flow stops,
the Blood Pump and AC Pump automatically stop. The Centrifuge continues to
spin to maintain separation. The Blood and AC Pumps automatically restart
when the donor/patient blood flow is restored. The White Pump remains active.
RETURN
During Return, the only donor/patient flow indicator lights that illuminate are
yellow in color and are at the outermost end of the indicator panels.
These yellow lights indicate to the donor/patient and to the operator that the re-
maining components are being returned to the donor/patient.
