SYSTEM BLOCK ANALYSIS
I. Power Supply
AC power is applied to the machine through the power entry module. This module contains
two input fuses and the voltage selector. The output of the voltage selector is applied to the
primary of the transformer. The secondary of the transformer operates at a constant 220VAC
level regardless of input voltage selection. The secondary is applied to a line filter. The output
of the line filter is applied to the +24Vdc power supply and to the vacuum pump switch. The
output of the vacuum pump switch is applied to the vacuum pump. See Figure 3-2.

Once the I/O board verifies that the centrifuge cover is closed, it now checks for a kit in the
Valve (see Figure 3-5). The Valve sensor located on the Valve Card also must be activated
before centrifuge activation can begin; otherwise a message will be displayed “Insert Kit in
Valve ” and the I/O Board will cancel the centrifuge activation.
Once the I/O Board verifies that a kit is in place, it now sends power to operate the centrifuge
motor. See Figure 3-6.

VII.Level Sensor
The level sensor monitors the blood level in the centrifuge bowl during the FILL cycle and the
WASH cycle. This allows the I/O board to know when to switch the machine from FILL to
WASH and when red blood cells are spilling into the waste bag during the WASH cycle. See
Figure 3-9.

The clamp motor rotates until the Valve Sensor locates the WASH position on a slotted
cylinder spinning on the valve motor. This slotted cylinder passes through three photo sensors
enabling it to detect what position it is in. After the WASH position is found, the I/O Board then
rotates the fluid pump motor counterclockwise (CCW) to prime the saline line with saline.
Once a sufficient amount of blood is detected by the self start sensor, the valve motor rotates
to a position which enables blood draw from reservoir. If another position is required, the I/O
Board rotates the valve motor until the appropriate slot is detected on the slotted cylinder.

UNIT DESCRIPTION
I. Top Work Area
The top panel provides the electromechanical functions of the autoLog™. See Figure 5-1. The
top panel consists of:
A. Valve: The valve motor rotates the valve cam to one of three (3) different positions. This
allows the valve cam to select between the three tubing lines.
B. Fluid Pump: The fluid pump is a bi-directional roller pump that forces blood in a forward or
reverse direction, depending upon the function selected.
C. Ultrasonic Air Bubble Detector: The air bubble detector ensures that there is fluid in the
tubing circuit during each cycle.
D. Centrifuge: The centrifuge incorporates one safety device. A centrifuge bowl cover sensor
will not allow the centrifuge to spin without the centrifuge bowl in place.
E. Level Sensor: The level sensor monitors bowl filling during the FILL and WASH cycles. The
FILL cycle finishes when the red cell pack reaches a level which is optimal for wash quality
and yield of red cells. If the sensor does not recognize the red cell pack, the system will
spill red cells into the waste bag. Proper setting of the sensor is essential to proper
operation of the autoLog™. See Level Sensor calibration (Preventive Maintenance
section).
CAUTION:
Medtronic does not have sufficient data to support the safety of returning
washed cells from partially filled bowls. Therefore, at this time, Medtronic
cannot recommend returning washed cells from partially filled bowls.

With reference to the I/O Board schematic or Figure 5-15, the valve shaft is connected to an
encoder disk. This disk rotates through three photo sensors that are located on the Valve Card.
The valve will start a movement cycle located in one of the three positions: FILL, WASH, EMPTY.
It is in a high state whenever the motor shaft has moved between any of the three sensor
positions. The signal is generated when all of the three signals on the R, W, and H lines from the
sensors are low. IC (U9) is used to monitor the state of these lines. It does this by inverting the
lines and applying the inverted signal to the AND gate (U8 pin 10). All of the three lines must be
low in order for the (Valve Int ) line to be high. As the disk rotates off of a rest position, all of the
photo devices will switch OFF and the signal (Valve Int ) will switch high. When the valve motor
moves to a new position, the (Valve Int ) signal will switch low causing an interrupt in the
microprocessor. This interrupt signals the microprocessor that the valve has moved to a new
position.
31
The output of the photo devices is applied to a non-inverting driver (U4). The position signals are
sent to the MPU via connector (J3 pins 21, 22, and 23). When the interrupt occurs, the MPU
interprets these signals to determine the new position. The MPU will compare the position signals
(R, W, and H ) to the register settings to see if they agree with the register. If they agree, the MPU
will stop the motor by causing the (Valve off ) signal to switch to high. If they do not agree, the
motor will be allowed to rotate to the next position. A (Valve time out ) error will occur if the
requested valve position is not reached within 3 seconds.
After the position is reached, the software checks to see that the position is still stable after
100 milliseconds. If it is not stable, the MPU will try once more to move the valve into a stable
position that agrees with the desired one. If it is not successful, a (Valve time out ) occurs.
A sub program that is connected to the scheduler checks the valve position every 25 milliseconds.
If the valve is on more than one position, as indicated by two or more of the position signals being
in a high state, an error is issued. The same procedure is used to see if the motor is turning, by
checking for change in the position signals. If the motor is turning, an error occurs.

With reference to the I/O board schematic or Figure 5-16, the main section of the circuitry may be
found in the motor driver integrated circuit (U13). This IC performs all of the basic motor control
functions for the Fluid Pump operation.
The motor is initially turned ON by removing the (Pump off ) signal. This signal is applied to the I/O
Board by the microprocessor (MPU) via connector (J3 pin 4). This signal is then sent to the input
buffers (U1 pin 9) before it reaches the fluid pump motor circuit (U13). The (Pump off ) signal
causes the motor control IC to apply an electronic brake to the motor when it is in a high state.
The speed of the motor is controlled from the MPU by varying the duty cycle of the (PWM P)
signal. This signal is applied to the I/O Board by the MPU via connector (J3 pin 18). The signal is
now sent to the input buffer (U1 pin 16) and then to an inverter (U9a pin 1). The output of the
inverter is applied to a potentiometer (P2), a filter (R21 and C21), and finally to the motor
controller IC (U13 pin 11). The PWM P signal from the MPU is a signal with a fixed period and a
varying duty cycle. The filter (P2, R21, and C21) creates a DC voltage whose amplitude is
proportional to the duty cycle.
The motor driver IC provides drive signals for each of the three motor phases. These signals are
combined together in the MOS driver IC (U18) to provide the power drive to the motor. The signals
are passed to the motor through connector (J11).
A logic output is provided on the motor driver IC (U13 pin 14) to indicate a fault condition. This
signal will switch high whenever a fault condition is detected by the motor driver. Examples of
typical fault conditions are:
• Over-current condition in motor
• Open wires in motor cable
• High temperature conditions in the IC
33
The fault output (POK ) is passed to an output buffer (U8 pin 16) and then to the MPU via
connector (J3 pin 17).

With reference to the I/O board schematic or Figure 5-17, the main section of the circuitry may be
found in the motor driver integrated circuit (U14). This IC performs all of the basic motor control
functions.
The motor is initially turned ON by removing the brake signal. This signal is applied to the I/O Board
by the microprocessor via connector (J3 pin 5). This signal is then sent to the input buffers (U1 pin
11) before it reaches the centrifuge motor circuit (U14). The brake signal causes the motor control
IC to apply an electronic brake to the motor when it is in a high state.
The speed of the motor is controlled from the MPU by varying the duty cycle of the PWM C
signal. This signal is applied to the I/O Board by the MPU via connector (J3 pin 38). The signal is
now sent to the input buffers (U2 pin 13) and then to an inverter (U9c pin 5). The output of the
inverter is applied to a potentiometer (P3), a filter (R4 and C7), and finally to the motor controller
IC (U14 pin 11). The PWM C signal from the MPU is a signal with a fixed period and a varying
duty cycle. The filter (P3, R4, and C7) creates a DC voltage whose amplitude is proportional to
the duty cycle.
The centrifuge is operated in a closed loop mode. The equivalent motor tachometer feedback is
provided by the tachometer IC (U12). This IC samples the sensor outputs and generates pulses for
each sensor input. These pulses are summed together and the output is filtered to produce a
tachometer feedback voltage. The motor driver IC provides drive signals for each of the three motor
phases. These signals are combined together in the MOS driver IC (U17) to provide the power drive
to the motor. The signals are passed to the motor through connector (J14).
A logic output is provided on the motor driver IC (U14 pin 14) to indicate a fault condition. This
signal will switch high whenever a fault condition is detected by the motor driver. Examples of
typical fault conditions are:
• Over-current condition in motor
• Open wires in motor cable

With reference to the I/O Board schematic or Figure 5-19, the valve is used to control fluid flow
between the various blood processing bags. The valve movement cycle begins when the MPU
decides to change the valve position. The new valve position is loaded into a register and places
the MPU signal (Valve off ) in a low state. The signal is applied to and inverting buffer (U1 pin 4)
via connector (J3 pin 2). This IC (U1) amplifies and inverts the signal. The high level from the
inverting buffer is applied to the valve driver IC (U18 pins 2 and 5). This IC is a half bridge power
driver. It provides for up to 2 amperes of output current that is used to power the valve motor. The
driver then causes current to flow through the motor and the motor begins to turn.

With reference to the I/O Board schematic or Figures 5-20, 5-21, and 5-22, the main power to the
I/O Board is derived from the +24 volt power supply. The power is applied to the power supply
connector (J13 pins 1 - 6). The combination of a zener diode (D4) and an input capacitor (C4) is
used to eliminate voltage spikes and transients that may occur from the supply. An LED (LD7) is
provided to indicate when the power has been applied.

The input +24Vdc is applied to a DC to DC converter (U19) and to relay contacts (RL1). The relay
is initially de-energized. The DC to DC converter produces the main logic power (VCC) that is
applied to the various logic gates and to the MPU. The MPU begins to generate a power supply
watchdog timer signal when it has completed its initialization routines. This signal causes the
(24VOK ) signal to activate the transistor (T3) and the relay to turn ON. This action applies power
to the various motors in the system.
The signal (25mS ) is normally applied to the MPU / I/O connector (J3 pin 7) by the MPU after it
turns ON. The signal from the connector is applied to the input buffer (U1 pin 17) and from there it
is applied to a single shot (U6 pin3). This single shot detects the leading edge of the (25mS )
signal and it sends a signal to timer IC (U7 pin2). The timer has a capacitor (C23) which is
normally discharged. This state causes the output of the timer to be normally high. If the single-
shot fails to generate the signal, the capacitor will be allowed to charge and the (24VOK ) signal
will switch low. At the same time, the alarm will be activated.

LEVEL SENSOR
The level sensor controls bowl filling during the FILL and WASH cycles. The FILL cycle finishes
when the red cell pack reaches a level which is optimal for wash quality and yield of red cells. If
the level sensor triggers on the plasma, the system will not clean as well or yield as many red
cells. If it does not recognize the red cell pack, the system will spill red cells into the waste bag.
The WASH cycle finishes when programmed wash volume is reached. The programmed wash
volume is 250 ml. If red blood cell spillage is detected, the pulse of the fluid pump will decrease by
25 milliseconds to allow for less RBC spillage. Proper setting of the sensor is essential to proper
operation of the system (see the Preventive Maintenance section for level sensor calibration).
This device consists of a fiber optic photocell which works as follows: the emitter optic sends a
beam of infrared light through a point on the bowl. This beam of light is received by the receiver
optic directly across from the emitter optic until the buffy coat reaches this level. At this point, the
lack of light reception is understood as an indication of the proper filling end point of the bowl. See
Figure 5-23.
CAUTION:
Medtronic does not have sufficient data to support the safety of returning
washed cells from partially filled bowls. Therefore, at this time, Medtronic
cannot recommend returning washed cells from partially filled bowls.

Figure 5-23. Level sensor light emitting through the centrifuge bowl
The photo amplifier connects to connector (J10) of the I/O board. When the photo amplifier
detects a full bowl setting, it will send a signal to connector (J10) to tell the I/O board that a full
bowl setting has been detected (see I/O board for J10 signals). The red level sensor LED will
remain illuminated until a full bowl is detected (signal interrupted).

Red LED
Adjustment
Screw
The adjustment screw adjusts the sensitivity of the infrared detector. The sensitivity of the infrared
detector needs to be adjusted properly (see the Preventive Maintenance section), so that it is
sensitive enough to pick up the infrared light being sent through the plasma from the emitter optic,
but not sensitive enough that it detects the infrared light being transmitted through the red blood
cells. The adjustment screw is located on the photo amplifier. See Figure 5-24.
I. Theory of Operation
The level sensor is utilized three ways during the bowl filling cycle. First, the photo amplifier
detects the full bowl setting by having the red blood cells block the light transmission during
the first FILL phase. At this point the machine goes into a pause. A pause is created to allow
the red blood cells to settle and pack tighter. This pause time is inversely proportional to the
time of the first FILL cycle. Example: If the FILL cycle takes a long time to fill a bowl to the
proper level, the pause time will be short due to sufficient time to separate and pack cells; If
the FILL cycle takes a short time to fill a bowl to the proper level, the pause time is long to
allow sufficient time for the cells to properly separate and pack. After the pause time has
elapsed, a second FILL cycle begins at a much slower pump rate. Once the level sensor
detects a full bowl again, it then will switch to WASH. Thirdly, during the WASH cycle the level
sensor is actively looking for red blood cells which spill over. If no RBCs are spilled, the wash
pulse is lengthened by a small interval of 25 milliseconds. If RBCs are spilled, the wash pulse
is shortened by a small interval of 25 milliseconds.

AIR BUBBLE DETECTOR ASSEMBLY
The air bubble detector consists of two (2) major components:

autoLog™. This sensor detects air bubble condition in the tubing software. See Figure 5-25.
2. Air Bubble detector board, located directly within the pump on the top panel. This assembly

assembly is essential.
☞ NOTE: See preventive maintenance for air bubble detector calibration routine. See I/O
Board for circuit analysis.
The air bubble detector, through ultrasound, allows the I/O board to monitor the disposable tubing
for the presence of air. If air is detected by the air bubble detector, it will send a signal to (J5) of
the I/O board. The I/O board stops the fluid pump and/or alarms the operator.
44
I. Theory of Operation
In the autoLog™, the air bubble detector is used for monitoring the filling of the tubing
segment located between the pump and the valve. The air bubble detector board sends an
ultrasound signal to one side of the air bubble detector transducer. Dependent upon what is
located in the transducer, the signal will take various actions.
A. Air present in the air bubble detector transducer insulates the side of the transducer
emitting the ultrasound to the other side of the transducer. See Figure 5-27A. This stops
the signal from reaching the I/O Board.
B. If liquid is present in the air bubble detector transducer, the blood will act as a conductor of
sound and transfer the signal to the other side of the air bubble detector transducer. This
signal is processed and transferred to the I/O board. See Figure 5-27B.

A. B.
The sensitivity of the air bubble detector can be affected in many different ways.
1. Small Air Bubbles: During normal operation of the autoLog™, the I/O board samples
the air bubble detector for presence of air. The rate at which it samples is directly
proportional to the speed of the fluid pump. This allows the I/O board to determine the
size of the air bubble being passed in the tubing. Depending upon the size of the air
bubble, the I/O board will take various actions.
2. Cleaning: The air bubble detector may become more sensitive when it is dirty. Regular
cleaning with a cotton swab and water is recommended. Do not use liquids that may
leave a film. Dry the detector if still wet. Apply a thin layer of silicone grease into
sensor. This allows for easy entry of the tubing into the detector.
3. Tubing Position: The position of the disposable tubing in the air bubble detector also
affects the sensitivity of the air bubble detector. Proper positioning of the tubing is
essential for proper operation. Ensure the tubing is fully seated into the bottom of the
transducer housing.

FLUID PUMP ASSEMBLY
The fluid pump assembly is a bi-directional roller pump that forces blood in a forward or reverse
direction, depending upon the function selected. The fluid pump operation consists of the Roller
Pump Head, Pump Motor, and the I/O Board.
I. Roller Pump
The roller pump incorporates three rollers which roll on a segment of tubing. The rollers
passing along the tubing create waves of contraction, forcing blood onward in the direction
that it is rotating. The roller pump incorporates six (6) additional rollers to ensure that the
tubing is centered along the rollers.
On occasion it may be necessary to clean the exterior and the interior of the roller pump (see
the Preventive Maintenance section for cleaning). To remove the roller pump head, open the
pump arm and lift up pump head.
II. Fluid Pump Motor
The fluid pump motor is a three phase brushless DC motor controlled by the I/O Board. The
motor is connected to the pump roller via a belt and pulley. An encoder is mounted to the end
of the motor shaft to allow for the I/O Board to monitor the speed of the motor. See Figure 5-28.
☞ NOTE: Repair of the fluid pump motor is not authorized by the motor manufacturer.

Fluid Pump
Motor
To stop the fluid pump from rotating, the I/O board disables the motor. The fluid pump motor is
a Three Phase Brushless DC Motor with Hall Effect rotation sensors. A hall is a sensor which
detects magnetism. The rotor has a magnet on it which spins to different locations. As the
magnet is rotated past a hall, the motor controller is able to detect rotor location and supply
power to one of the three phases at the proper time.
46
In Figure 5-29, Hall B detects that the rotor is in the proper location for phase T to activate.
This pulls the rotor toward the phase T terminal. As it nears phase T, phase T drops out. The
inertia keeps the rotor spinning to Hall C. Hall C detects the magnetism and tells phase S to
activate. As the rotor nears power phase S, phase S drops its voltage to 0Vdc. The rotor
continues to spin past Hall A, Hall A tells the motor controller to activate phase R. This
process continues until the motor is stopped.

CENTRIFUGE ASSEMBLY
The autoLog™ centrifuge is a direct driven item, capable of running between 0 - 10,000 RPM.
The centrifuge is driven directly by a brushless DC servo motor.
CAUTION:
I. Centrifuge Bowl
Before the I/O board permits any centrifuge motion, as a safety precaution, it first verifies that
a bowl has been inserted. To verify a bowl placement, the I/O board examines the status of
the bowl cover sensor. Once the cover sensor shows that the bowl has been inserted, the I/O
board can engage.
To stop the centrifuge from rotating, the I/O board disables the centrifuge motor. The
centrifuge motor is a Three Phase Brushless DC Motor with Hall Effect rotation sensors. A hall
is a sensor which detects magnetism. The rotor has a magnet on it which spins to different
locations. As the magnet is rotated past a hall, the motor controller is able to detect rotor
location and supply power to one of the three phases at the proper time.
47
In Figure 5-30, Hall B detects that the rotor is in the proper location for phase T to activate.
This pulls the rotor toward the phase T terminal. As it nears phase T, phase T drops out. The
inertia keeps the rotor spinning to Hall C. Hall C detects the magnetism and tells phase S to
activate. As the rotor nears power phase S, phase S drops its voltage to 0Vdc. The rotor
continues to spin past Hall A, Hall A tells the motor controller to activate phase R. This
process continues until the motor is stopped.

I. Keypad
The keypad is a four position membrane keypad. The switch contacts are sent to the I/O
Board through connector (J6). The contacts are labeled “Stop”, “Go” (a green circle), “Fct”,
and “+”. The signals are applied to the output buffers (U7) and are passed to the MPU through
connector (J3).
II. Display
The display is a 20 character by 2 line vacuum fluorescent display. The data is sent to the
display from the MPU as RS232 encoded data. The data is obtained from the MPU through
the RS232 connector (J2) and sent through Command Card connector (J6) to the Display
Board.
The power supply supplies power (+5Vdc) to the FIP display. The display receives its power on
connector P2.
WARNING:
This circuit is very static sensitive. Proper procedure to protect the board
from static when testing, troubleshooting, or replacing the board is
essential.
VALVE ASSEMBLY
The valve motor, is attached to a cam that drives to three (3) different positions. This allows the
cam to have its proper open and closed functions for specific system operation. See Figure 5-31.
• EMPTY - this position is used in the EMPTY mode. This position allows an open pathway
between the holding bag and the centrifuge bowl.
• WASH - this position is used in the WASH mode. This position allows an open pathway
between the saline wash solution and the centrifuge bowl.
• FILL - this is the position that the unit is in when it is first turned ON. This position is also
used in the RETURN mode. This position allows an open pathway between the blood
collection reservoir and the centrifuge bowl.
49
I. Clamp Motor
The cam position is controlled by a DC motor which is driven directly from the I/O board. The
motor only rotates in a counterclockwise (CCW) direction. See Figure 5-32.

WARNING:
Extreme caution must be used when making voltage tests on circuit
boards!
50
I. Theory of Operation
The AC power is applied to the machine via a power cord inserted into the Power Entry
Module. This module also contains two (2) line fuses. The output of the module is applied to
the main power switch. From the main power switch, it returns to the power entry module for
voltage selection. Finally the AC is sent to the primary of the transformer. The secondary of
the transformer creates 220 VAC and applies it to a line filter. The line filter is used to remove
any transient voltages that occur from the switching power supply. The line filter output is
applied to the main power supply. The power supply generates +24Vdc used to power the
entire system. The output of the line filter is also applied to the vacuum pump through the
vacuum pump switch.
Power Supply
☞ NOTE: Prior to removing or replacing the power supply, a complete test of input and
output voltage is suggested. Proper testing for voltages at the supply may show
that one of the other components are inoperative. Always isolate the power supply
from other circuits by disconnecting the output and checking for proper output
voltage.
WARNING:
Extreme caution must be used when making voltage tests on circuit
boards!
51
II. Power Entry Module
The power entry module receives the input AC voltage and delivers it to the system. The
AC power cord is plugged into the socket of the power entry module. Also incorporated into
the power entry module are the main fuses and the AC input selection block (110 VAC or
220 VAC). To remove the fuses and/or select the input setting, unlock and remove fuse holder.
A. Main Fuses: The power entry module fuses both lines of the AC input voltage. The fuses
are rated as follows:
110 VAC - 4 amp
220 VAC - 4 amp
WARNING:
Never replace a fuse with an improperly rated value. This may be
potentially hazardous to the equipment and/or the operator.
B. Voltage Select Block: The voltage select block, as seen in Figure 5-34, (110 VAC or
220 VAC labeled on block) allows the unit to operate on 110 VAC or 220 VAC.

autoLog™ TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
I. Introduction
This guide is intended to provide a simple description of the messages the autoLog™ device
will display during its operation. A brief description of the cause of the message is also
included.
The guide is divided into three sections: normal messages, recoverable warnings and errors,
and fatal (unrecoverable) warnings.
Normal messages will occur typically during system operation, such as “Air in Saline Line”.
Recoverable warnings and errors most likely can be fixed by a quick adjustment of the
autoLog™ device or the disposable kit.
However, in the event of a fatal error, Medtronic Cardiac Surgery Service should be called and
the autoLog™ should be not be used again until it is repaired.
A. “Software Version”: After the machine performs some internal tests, the version of the
software is displayed for a few seconds:
MEDTRONIC AUTOLOG
VERSION X.X
B “Kit Absent”: The software checks the disposable at startup. If the disposable is not
installed in the valve AND the centrifuge this warning is issued:
KIT ABSENT
Pressing the “Go” key makes the software check the valve again. The warning is cleared
if the disposable is properly installed.
C. “Kit Not Installed: Lock Centri Cover”: If the software knows the valve is properly installed,
but does not detect the bowl in the centrifuge, the following message is issued along with
three short beeps from the speaker:
The software waits indefinitely until the centrifuge cover is properly locked. After the bowl
is inserted, the software then tests the valve.
69
D. “Insert Kit In Valve And Pump”: If the valve is not installed in the valve head the following
message is issued along with three short beeps from the speaker:
The Go LED flashes continuously. Each time the user presses the “Go” key, the software
tests the valve again. If the kit is still not installed correctly, the following message is
issued along with three short beeps from the speaker.
E. “Connect Sal, Holding, Reservoir and Waste”: The software issues the following message:
The Go LED flashes continuously. When the user presses the “Go” key, the valve is set
to access the saline (wash) bag, the pump rotates counterclockwise and attempts to
pump saline into the centrifuge. If an adequate volume of saline is present, the machine
enters the stop state.
The software cannot verify the presence or absence of the waste and holding bag.
F. “Air in Saline Line”: If the software detects air in the saline line, the following message is
issued along with three short beeps from the buzzer:
When the user presses the “Go” key, the autoLog™ again attempts to pump saline into
the bowl. If the machine never detects saline, check the air detector jumper (J5).
If no air is detected, the system automatically enters the Stop state.
G. “Stop and Machine Ready”: The system enters the Stop state automatically after a
successful startup and whenever the user presses the “Stop” key. The software will not
leave “Stop” until the “Go” key is pressed.
The display shows:
STOP
0ml 0ml
When the machine is in the Stop state, if the user presses the “Go” key once, the
machine enters the Machine Ready state. The display will appear as:
MACHINE READY
0ml 0ml

0ml 0ml
“INPUT” refers to the blood volume pumped from the reservoir to the bowl.
“TRANSFERRED” refers to the blood volume that has been washed and transferred to the
holding bag.
The “INPUT” volume is continually updated during filling.
B. “Air In Reservoir Line, Final Cycle?”: The software checks for air during filling. If 50 ml of
air is pumped the following warning is issued:
If the user presses the “Go” key, the machine will again try to fill from the reservoir.
If the user presses the “+” key to change the answer to YES,
and presses the “Go” key, the machine fills the bowl from the holding bag (concentrates)
and begins a wash cycle.
C. “Incomplete Bowl, Recoverable?”: If the blood volume withdrawn from the holding bag is
still not sufficient to fill the bowl, the following warning is issued:
INCOMPLETE BOWL
RECOVERABLE? NO
The default answer is NO. If the “Go” key is pressed, the blood in the bowl is returned to
the reservoir.
If the user presses the “+” key and changes the answer to YES, the machine starts a
wash cycle. When the wash is complete, the bowl volume is transferred to the holding
bag.

cycle. If the level sensor output indicates a full bowl the following warning is issued:
OPTICS OBSTRUCTED
If the bowl is empty, clean the level sensors with a soft, wet cloth.
If the bowl contains blood, manually pump the blood to the reservoir and restart.
G. “Washing”: While the autoLog™ is washing the blood, the display will appear like this:
WASH TRANSFERRED
102/250ml 0ml
The “WASH” volume is updated continually during the wash. After 250 ml of wash has
been delivered, the software advances to the Empty phase.
H. “Air in Saline Line”: If the autoLog™ detects air during wash, the following screen will
appear:
When the “Go” key is pressed, the autoLog™ will again check for saline. This process
repeats until adequate saline is detected.
If no response is given within 1 minute, the bowl stops spinning.
I. “Emptying”: When the autoLog™ is emptying blood to the holding bag, the screen appears
just as it does during filling:
INPUT TRANSFERRED
0ml 0ml
72
The “TRANSFERRED” volume is updated to reflect the washed RBCs being moved to the
