Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Centrifuge speed / bowl seating error
HighSymptoms: Bowl vibration or noise, speed error, wash aborts.
Root cause: Bowl not seated in the chuck, worn centrifuge chuck/latch, or an out-of-balance bowl set.
Optical line-sensor misreads (fill / hematocrit)
HighSymptoms: Bowl over- or under-fills, wash starts early or late, poor product hematocrit.
Root cause: Dirty or failed optical sensor at the bowl, or air in the line.
Pump / valve state fault
MediumSymptoms: "State fault", pump speed/direction error, self-loading pump will not seat tubing.
Root cause: Peristaltic pump rollers/door, valve actuator, or a CPU/safety-system disagreement.
Runs only on AC / short battery time
MediumSymptoms: Unit dies when unplugged, low-battery early.
Root cause: Aged battery pack or charger fault.
Bowl / bowl-set leak (recall history)
HighSymptoms: Fluid trapped in or leaking from the bowl core during processing.
Root cause: Defective 70/125/225 ml bowl set - subject of Haemonetics recalls.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Centrifuge speed error / bowl noise
- Stop and confirm the bowl is fully seated and the retainer is closed.
- Inspect the chuck and latch for wear.
- Load a fresh bowl set and re-test.
- Reset the system; if it recurs, contact technical service.
- Verify a clean spin-up before clinical use.
Symptom: Bowl over/under-fills or poor hematocrit
- Clean the optical sensor window at the bowl.
- Check for air in the lines and re-prime.
- Confirm the correct protocol and bowl size are selected.
- Replace the optical sensor if it still misreads.
- Run a saline test cycle and confirm correct fill and wash.

Safety & Recalls
Synced live from the FDA openFDA API.
- RECALL
Potential to develop leaks at the inner core of Cell Saver 5/5+ and Cell Saver Elite/Elite +125ml and 225ml bowl sets. Which could result in fluid being trapped inside the bowl core, causing a long empty device error message with the possibility of incomplete washing.
- RECALL
Haemonetics has received isolated reports that in some cases the 70ml centrifuge bowl may leak during cell salvage processing.
- RECALL
Device emits radiofrequency which exceed the IEC 60601-1-2 International Standard
- RECALL
Disposable Set for Autologous Blood recovery may leak saline at the Y-connector
