1-2. Features

• The Blood Collection Mixer CM735 (A) provides efficient mixing of the blood with
the anti-coagulant in the blood bags.
• It is a lightweight mobile unit with maximum portability.
• The panel display indicates the net volume of blood collected in the blood bag. It
automatically closes the tube clamp when the collected volume reaches the preset
selected figure. The display shows the total weight on the tray at the end of the
donation and elapsed collection time.
• Various audible and visual alarms are provided to ensure accurate and safe collection
and mixing.

The mixing motion is controlled by a microcomputer. When the blood collection is

started, the tray rocks for 3 cycles and pauses for 2 seconds, then resumes rocking. As
the collection approaches the preset donation amount, the tray stops rocking to ensure
an accurate donation. When the preset amount is reached, the clamp closes and tray
resumes rocking.

The Blood Collection Mixer monitors blood flow rate during the collection and
donation draw time. When the draw is less than 30 ml/minutes, the machine will alarm.
The alarm is both audible and visual. The alarm repeats every 60 seconds if blood flow
remains low.

The LCD panel displays pertinent information.

The following information can be viewed on the LCD:
- total weight [gram] of blood and blood bags
- collected volume [ml] of blood
- target volume to collect [ml]
- elapsed time [min : sec]
- low battery voltage condition
- unit of displayed figure ([ml] or [gram])
- alarming condition

The unit can be powered by either a battery pack or an AC power adaptor.

A Nickel-Cadmium battery pack of 12 Volts/2AH capacity is used. It is replaceable
and rechargeable. An audible alarm sounds when battery voltage drops to its lower
limit. The battery can be recharged while in the mixer or with a separate battery
charger unit.

The battery can be recharged while the mixer is in use if the AC power adaptor is
attached at rear panel jack of main unit. The battery can also be recharged with the
separate battery charger unit.

(A large battery charger, model BC-162, which charges 6 battery packs same time, is
available for purchase from your distributor. With this charger, one pack among 6 is
recharged fast in 1 hour, and other 5 packs in 10 hours.)

1-2
It takes about 10 hours to recharge a pack from exhausted level to fully charged level.
A fully charged battery will operate the mixer continuously for approximately 8 hours.

The blood collection mixer unit can also be powered directly by using the AC power
adaptor. When both a battery pack and a power adaptor are connected at the same time,
the power adaptor supplies operating power and the battery is under recharging.

The tube clamp module can be positioned on either the left side or the right side of the
tray. It can easily be remounted on either side of the tray by users.
The equipment is stored in a soft carrying bag, and weighs less than 4 kilograms.

microprocessor, LCD panel and display circuit.

[Figure 3-1] represents the functional block diagram of CPU board.

[Figure 3-1] CPU board Functional Block Diagram

3-2
(1) Load cell amplifiers ;
Load cell generates very weak signal that is proportional to weight applied on it.
OP amp stages U1 and U2 amplify the weak signal by 60 dB and feed it to A/D
converter. A potentiometer VR2 adjusts offset voltage, and VR1 adjusts signal gain.

(2) A/D converter ;

A/D converter U4 converts an analog signal to a digital signal.
It communicates with the microprocessor U5. It takes a clock signal from U5 and
provides 4-bit digit selects and 4-bit data to microprocessor.

(3) Microprocessor and memories ;

Microprocessor U5 is of 8-bit CPU. It is the heart of the equipment, controls all
circuits, switches, tray, clamp, displays and alarms.
On power on, it self-checks and, after 30 seconds, tares the weights of hardware
and tray which are on the tray. Every time it monitors switch actions.
In accordance with switch commands, preset conditions and sensed weight, it
controls LCD display panel, tray motor, tube clamp and buzzer.
Also it calculates collected blood volume by checking weight changes and then
dividing the weight values by specific gravity of blood.
U7 is a ROM, in which all programs are stored.

(4) LCD and display circuit ;

LCD LD1 is a custom-designed liquid crystal display panel.
It is driven by LCD driver U9 in accordance with the control command from the
microprocessor. LCD displays all information - weight, volume, time, all symbols.

(5) Other circuits ;

On right side of the PCB is a circular connector, which is for tube clamp module.
Tube clamp module can be mounted either at left side or at right side.

(6) Control Switches ;

Seven tactile switches are prepared on the Control panel assembly.
Control panel is connected to the connector P5 of CPU board assembly.

3-3
3-3. Power Supply Board

Power supply board comprises three voltage regulators, power switching circuit,
battery charging circuit, fuse, battery level check circuit, clamp motor drive circuit,
tray motor drive circuit and a power switch.

[Figure 3-2] represents the functional block diagram of power supply board.

[Figure 3-2] Power supply board Functional Block Diagram

3-4
(1) Voltage regulators ;
U4 is +5 V regulator and U3 is -5 V regulator. Negative voltage is made at U2
and regulated at U3 for components in CPU board.
U1 is a +12 V regulator for incoming power from the power adaptor.

(2) Power switching circuit ;

When both battery and adaptor are connected together, the adaptor supplies power.
Q4 selects power source. If a power adaptor supplies power through connector J1,
Q4 is turned off to stop current flow from battery.

(3) Battery charging circuit ;

It is a constant-current regulator, and charges a battery every time when an adaptor
is connected. Battery is under charging even when power switch is off.

(4) Fuse ;
There used are two electronic fuses.
PTC1 and PTC2 are ceramic fuses, that have positive-thermal-coefficient.
When current flows above some limit due to any trouble in the equipment, fuse
makes open-circuit. When trouble is removed, fuse recovers to normal condition.

(5) Battery level check circuit ;

Battery voltage is monitored continuously at level comparator U5.
If battery voltage drops to lower than a limit around 11.6 volts, U5 sends out a
signal to microprocessor and low battery symbol in LCD panel is turned on.

(6) Clamp motor drive circuit ;

Clamp motor in tube clamp module should be controlled bi-directional, as it needs
to open or close the clamp.
Four transistor switches Q5 - Q8 are controlled by signals from microprocessor.
Combination of on-off states in transistors makes the motor rotate either CW or
CCW, or makes the motor stop. Controlled signal is also fed to CPU board.

(7) Tray motor drive circuit ;

Tray motor is controlled by command signals from microprocessor.
Combination of on-off in transistors Q2, Q3 makes the tray motor run or stop.

(8) Power switch ;

SW1 is a DPST push switch. It switches power on and off.

3-5
3-4. Sensor Board

The board has a magnetic sensor called Hall sensor. The component senses magnetic
field and generate a signal. As the tray motor assembly has magnets on its cam
structure, this sensor senses rotation angle of motor shaft and tray position.
So tray motion and position information is checked by the sensor and fed to CPU.

3-5. Weighing Circuit

Load cell is a weight-sensitive device, the output voltage of which is proportional to

the force onto it. It generates very weak voltage.
In the equipment is used a load cell unit. The signal from load cell is fed to high-gain
amplifiers in CPU board assembly.

3-6. Tray Rocking Mechanism

The mechanism consists of a geared motor, cam and bearing, tray mount, magnets and
a tray leveling screw.
A turn of motor shaft makes tray rock a full cycle. Numbers of tray rocking and tray
position are checked by sensor board and fed to microprocessor on CPU board.
When tray is biased, it can be corrected by turning the tray leveling screw as it changes
the sensing angle of magnets by Hall sensor on sensor board.

3-7. Tube Clamp Module

Tube clamp module has a geared motor in it. This module can be mounted either left or
right panel of the equipment. Users can move it by unscrewing three screws.

3-6
3-8. Battery and Battery Charger

(1) Battery Pack

Battery is of Nickel-Cadmium 12VDC/2AH type. It's rechargeable and replaceable.
Battery can be recharged in the equipment or at a separate battery charger unit.
An electronic fuse (PTC) in the pack protects the battery from short circuit.
A thermistor is also equipped in the pack to control fast recharging when necessary.

(2) Battery charger unit ;

Battery charger unit is a constant-current source to recharge the battery pack.
The unit has a PCB board, on which are an indication lamp, a voltage regulator,
current-limiting resistors and in/out connectors.
When power adaptor is plugged in the inlet connector, voltage and current are
regulated and supplied to output contacts where the battery pack is contacted.
Charging lamp is turned on to indicate a battery is now under charging.

(3) AC power adaptor ;

Output from AC power adaptor is good in voltage range of 16 - 22 VDC, and
current supplying capability of 0.3 Amp or above. Input voltage and frequency
specification of adaptor should mate with the AC main line voltage.
The AC power adaptor is a primary power source for the main unit.
When an AC power adaptor is connected at rear panel connector, the battery is
disconnected by internal circuit and the adaptor supplies operation power.

3-7
4. Standard Operating Procedures

4-1. Preparation before Use

(1) Open carrying bag and unpack mixer, tray, battery and AC adaptor.

(2) Insert battery pack into the compartment and close the door.

To operate the equipment by AC power, plug the AC power adaptor in the inlet on
the rear panel.

[Note 1] When both the battery and the AC power adaptor are connected together,
the adaptor supplies operating power and the battery is under recharging.

(3) Put the tray onto tray mount.

(4) Empty the tray, then turn power on.

* The tray rocks once.

* LED lamp is lit.
* LCD panel displays ‘29’ or ‘28’, then it counts down to ‘0’.

[Note 2] If anything is put on the tray when power is turned on, it is tared at zero
count. Tared weights must remain on the tray throughout the procedures.
If any weight is removed, total weight will have an error of an equal
amount.

(5) Wait for 30 seconds until main display registers ‘0’.

* [GRAM] appears to indicate the number displayed is weight in grams.

(6) Equipment is now ready to use.

4-1
4-2. Operating Procedures

(1) Set target collection volume with the [PRESET]-[UP]-[DOWN] buttons.

(2) Place blood collection bag on tray.

(3) Route blood collection bag tubing through tube clamp.

[Note 3] The tubing length from the clamping point to the blood bag should not be
shorter than 30 centimeters (1 ft) to ensure proper rocking movement.

(4) Press [CLAMP] button to close tube clamp.

(5) Prepare phlebotomy site and stick donor.

(6) Press [START] button.

* Tube clamp is opened and the blood begins to flow into blood bag.
* Tray starts rocking.
* [BLEED] indicator is on.
* [ML] appears to indicate the number displayed is ‘net’ volume of blood
collected in blood collection bag, represented in milliliters.

[Note 4] Weight of blood bags and anti-coagulant, and any weights put on tray
are tared when [START] is pressed. All tared weights must remain on the
tray until the collection cycle ends. If any weights are removed, blood
volume will have an error of an equal amount.
[Note 5] Do not touch the tray or blood collection bags during the collection.
If the tray is pushed down, sensed weight may exceed the preset target
volume, then the clamp will close. When this happens, press [CLAMP]
button to re-open the clamp and continue collection. DO NOT press
[END] button, as it will clear the volume previously collected.
[Note 6] When the collected blood volume reaches 20 ml below the preset target volume, the
tray stops rocking until the preset target volume is reached. This process assures accurate
collection with a 1-2 ml tolerance. For example, if the target volume is set at 500 ml,
the tray stops rocking at 480 ml and resumes rocking when the tubing is clamped at
500ml.
[Note 7] If blood flow rate is slow, lower than 30 ml per minute, and remains
low for 1 minute, audible beeps will sound and the [ALARM] indicator will
be activated. Check donor phlebotomy site to ensure blood flow is
adequate. The beep will repeat once every minute until the flow is higher
than 30 ml per minute.

5. Checks and Adjustments

This Chapter 5 describes how to check, adjust and calibrate several important parameters
of the equipment.

All procedures described in this chapter can be performed without opening the upper
cover. The test mode subroutines in Section 5-1 are not presented in the User's Manual.
More professional fault isolation and troubleshooting procedures that should be done
with upper cover open are described in Chapter 6.

Following procedures are covered in this chapter ;

. LCD font check

. Button switch check
. Load cell check
. Weight check and calibration
. Tray leveling

5-1
5-1. Test Mode Subroutines

For service personnel to check major key components quickly without using any tool,
some software subroutine programs are prepared in the equipment.

One can check LCD fonts and pin connections, button switch failures, the load cell and
its circuit performance with these special test mode subroutines.

If any failure or malfunction is detected at these test mode procedures, fault isolation
and troubleshooting shall be done in accordance with the procedures in Chapter 6.

A. LCD font check

(1) Turn power on.

(2) For 30 seconds, LCD displays a number. It counts down to zero.
Before the number going to zero, press [TIME] and [CLAMP] buttons together.
(3) All fonts used are displayed on the LCD panel.
It should look same as [Figure 5-1].
If any font is not displayed, it means that a part of LCD is bad.
(4) Turn power off to quit the procedure.

[Figure 5-1] LCD Font Layout

5-2
B. Button switch check

(1) Turn power on.

(2) For 30 seconds, before the number going to zero, press the three buttons -
[UP (▲)], [DOWN (▼)] and [PRESET] - same time.
(3) At right corner of the LCD, "0" is displayed.
Press a button one by one. The number should be same as below.

button pressed number displayed

[START] 1
[END] 2
[TIME] 3
[CLAMP] 4
[UP] 5
[DOWN] 6
[PRESET] 7

If any number doesn’t match or change, it means the button is bad.

(4) Turn power off to quit the procedures.

C. Load cell check

(1) Turn power on.

(2) For 30 seconds, before the number going to zero, press the three buttons -
[UP (▲)], [DOWN (▼)] and [PRESET] - same time.
(3) Main display shows a three-digit number.
If the number is within the range of 200 - 900 with tray mounted, it means
the load cell and its circuit are not failed.
(4) Push the tray down or put a weight between 100 - 500 grams on the tray.
If the number changes, it means the load cell and its circuit are not failed.
(5) Turn power off to quit the procedures.

5-3
5-2. Weight Check

Designed tolerance of weight measurement is +/- 1 gram. For example, if a standard

weight of 500 grams is put on the tray, the display should show a figure between ‘499’
and ‘501’. Otherwise, the equipment may be subject to calibration by users.

Checking accuracy of weight measurement

(1) Prepare a known weight of about 500 grams.
(2) Turn power on and, after 30 seconds stand-by, put the weight on tray.
Do not touch the equipment and table during count-down.
(3) If the display is out of ‘known weight +/- 1’, follow the procedures in Section 5-3.

5-3. Weight Calibration

Following procedures describe how to adjust the weighing circuits. This adjustment is
very sensitive and requires time and accuracy, so one should be careful and patient.

(1) Prepare a small size flat (-) tip screwdriver, 2-3 mm (1/16-1/8”) in diameter.
(2) Turn power off and remove the tray.
(3) Remove the hole plug and locate a screw in the top panel (# 7 in Section 2-1).
(4) If the measured figure was smaller than the known weight, turn the screw
clockwise (CW), by about 1/8 of a turn (45 degrees).
If the measured figure was bigger than the known weight, turn the screw counter-
clockwise (CCW), by about 1/8 of a turn (45 degrees).
* Turning it CW will increase displayed figure, and CCW will decrease display.
(5) Install the tray and follow the accuracy check procedures above.
(6) If the equipment is still out of tolerance, repeat from (2) to (5) again.
If the equipment is now in tolerance, replace the hole plug.

[Note 1] The calibration screw is a potentiometer working very sensitive. Do not turn the
screw more than a quarter turn at one cycle of calibration. The screw adjustment
should be done while the power switch is being turned off.
[Note 2] Designed tolerance of blood volume measurement of the net collected blood in
blood bag is - 0 to + 3 milliliters. For example, if the preset target volume is set at
‘500’, it’s normal that the net collected blood volume comes between 500-503 ml.
But there exist two factors that may change the result.
1) The equipment measures weight only. Blood volume is calculated from blood
weight, divided by specific gravity of blood. If the specific gravity of a donor’s
blood is different from the set figure, it will result some error (about 1-2 ml).
2) If the tubing length between clamping point and blood bag is changed, or if it is
not free, it may push or lift the tray more or less. To minimize this type of error,
the tube length should be longer than 30 cm. Refer to [Note 3] in Section 4-2.

5-4
5-4. Tray Leveling

Tray leveling is ensured by a magnetic position sensor and precision mechanism. After
long use for years, the tray might become unlevel. Leveling of the tray can be simply
adjusted by users.

(1) Prepare a flat (-) tip screwdriver, 3-5 mm (1/8-3/16”) in diameter.

(2) Turn power off and remove tray from tray mount.
(3) Identify the tray leveling screw (# 8 in the figure in Section 2-1) through the hole.
(4) Turn the screw clockwise, by about a half turn (180 degrees), to make the tray
rotate clockwise. The tray will rotate clockwise by a half degree.
Turn the screw counter-clockwise, by about a half turn (180 degrees), to make the
tray rotate counter-clockwise. The tray will rotate CCW by a half degree.
(5) Replace the tray and turn power on.
(6) Check tray leveling. If tray is not level, repeat from (2) to (5) again.
