Self-Filling ATS Bag (2450)
The 2450 ATS bag is a self-filling blood evacuation device
for use with Atrium ATS chamber chest drain models. This
700ml capacity PVC blood bag incorporates a low vacuum
generating spring assembly. The 2450 ATS bag provides
immediate transfer of patient drain age from an Atrium ATS
chest drain without patient tube disconnection or interrup-
tion of standard chest drainage techniques.
Step 1: Attaching ATS Bag
Prior to attaching the 2450 ATS blood bag, close the chest
drain ATS access line clamp and remove the spike port cap.
Insert the ATS bag spike into the chest drain ATS access line
spike port using a firm twisting motion. To maximize blood
transfer efficiency, position the ATS bag below the base of
the chest drain.

Step 2: Activating ATS Bag
Once the 2450 ATS bag is connected to the ATS line and positioned
below the chest drain,
open
both clamps. Hold ing the ATS bag two to
four inches below the base of the chest drain, gently bend the ATS bag
upward
where indicated to activate blood transfer. When activated, the
self-filling ATS bag will begin to fill and expand as blood enters from
the chest drain. Do not activate ATS bag prior to connecting to chest
drain. If accidentally activated prior to system connec tion, simply dis-
place air into the chest drain after system connection.
(See Displacing
Air Space From ATS Bag).
Step 3: Disconnecting ATS Bag
Once blood evacuation is complete and the filled ATS bag is ready for
disconnection, close both ATS access line and ATS blood bag clamps.
To disconnect, remove ATS spike from the ATS access line spike port
and insert into the ATS bag spike holder. Recap the ATS access line
spike port and position the ATS access line in the holder located on top
of the chest drain. Keep ATS access line clamp fully closed at all times
when not in use. The 2450 ATS bag is now ready to be handled for
reinfusion use.
(See Reinfusion Set Up).
Displacing Air Space From ATS Bag
Displacing air by gently squeezing ATS bag will allow more blood vol-
ume into the bag. Repeat as necessary until all air is displaced and ATS
bag is full.
Filtered Air Vent
The ATS blood bag incorporates a filtered air vent with tethered plug for
reclosure after use. The air vent must be open for all non-pressure infu-
sion procedures
(gravity drip, infusion pump)
and must remain closed
for pressure infusion
(hand squeeze, pressure infuser).
