I don't think it is sed that is giving you a problem:
$ echo "Q10MR11/FL12V "|sed "s|Q10MR11/FL12V|DELETED|"
DELETED
Perhaps bash is not resolving your use of the ${dc} and ${rc}
variables as you expect. Since you do not include the full string of
commands and I never use ${}, I don't know what the problem is.
