What are daily activities on the NexSys PCS?
SOP: CTR6002 NexSys PCS
Every day prior to a donor using any NexSys PCS device, the device must have the plasma weigher and AC weigher checked with a certified 1000g weight.
Every NexSys PCS device used for a donation throughout the day must be cleaned prior to leaving. This includes: The DPM and external surface of the device.
What is a Hematoma?
SOP: CTR3002F-ac Donor Care Instructions- Hematoma/Infiltration
A hematoma (or infiltration) is a localized collection of blood outside of the blood vessel.
What is considered an underdraw?
What is considered an overdraw?
SOP: CTR4002 Donation Monitoring and Collection Exceptions
An actual plasma volume more than 5mLs below the plasma target is considered an underdraw.
An actual plasma volume more than 5mLs higher than the plasma target is considered an overdraw.
What are some of the donor floor rules for donors?
No donors may eat or drink anything during their donation. This includes chewing gum or having any object in their mouth. No donor may sleep or wear sunglasses or place any object over their face to cover their eyes.
What are you looking for when inspecting the disposable set installation?

What size must a hematoma be to be considered a non-reportable reaction?
If the swelling is not greater than 2-inches in any direction, the event is treated as a non-reportable event.
When is a donor required to drink the electrolyte solution?
SOP: TM1010 Donor Floor Supplemental Training
Donors with RBC losses should be provided an electrolyte beverage following a red cell loss.
When is an equipment incident report needed?
SOP: CTR6001 Equipment Overview
When a pierce of equipment does not perform to the manufacturers standard, a piece of equipment gets damaged or broken, and/or the equipment fails an activity.
Approximately how far from the Y connector do you hemostat the double tubing?
Approximately 6 inches
What are the parts of the heat sealers?
SOP: CTR6006 Heat Sealer
A base and wand.
What are the types of non-reportable events?
Vasovagal, Citrate and Venipuncture Event
If a donor loses how much amount of blood will they be deferred?
How long is the deferral?
SOP: CTR4002 Donation Monitoring and Collection Exceptions
A donor will be deferred for 56 days for any cell loss that is greater than or equal to 200mLs or if the donor experiences two cell losses less than 200mLs in a 56-day period.
What is the donor floor ratio?
1:6
When a disposable set is used to preset a machine, within how long must it be used?
SOP: CTR4001WI-aa Donor Floor Machine Set Up
When a disposable set is used to preset a machine, the set must be used within 8 hours of the setup.
What are the weekly cleaning activities on the NexSys PCS?
SOP: CTR6002 NexSys PCS
On a weekly basis, the following items are to be cleaned on the NexSys PCS Device:
- All air detectors
- The line sensor
- The centrifuge well and chuck
- The fluid sensor
- The bowl optics lens
What are some common causes of citrate reactions?
SOP: CTR3002 Donor Reactions
Donor nutrition levels, machine pump speed, set up error which citrate and saline have been mismatched.
What are the different color beacon lights and what do they mean?
SOP: TM1010 Donor Floor Supplemental Training
Off: All is well.
White: There's an error that requires your attention or the procedure is in a paused state.
Orange: There's a notification on the screen.
Green: The procedure is completed.
Blue: POST (power on self test) or on the final return cycle.
What is a label defect and what is a label error?
SOP: CTR1010 Label Management
Label defect: Visible damage to a donor bleed set that affects the label's readability, scanability, or other critical aspect.
Label error: The discrepancy between the actual and assigned label to a donor, unit or sample.
What is the first step when performing a donor disconnect?
SOP: CTR4001WI-ad Donor Disconnect
Touch Donor Information and verify donor identity
What are the monthly cleaning activities on the NexSys PCS Device?
SOP: CTR6002 NexSys PCS
On a monthly basis, the following tasks are completed:
- Clean the pumps and rotor wells
- Clean the air filter
- Lubricate the centrifuge O-ring
How do you treat a vasovagal reaction?
SOP: CTR3002 Donor Reactions
Return red blood cells to donor, elevate feet, provide ice packs and administer saline.
When the machine detects fluid in the centrifuge well, what must you do?
SOP: CTR4002 Donation Monitoring and Collection Exceptions
When the machine detects fluid in the centrifuge well, it will alarm requiring staff to immediately abort the procedure without returning RBCs to the donor.
