Sequestering on the Cell Saver 5+ System

System
Breakdown
1. After the final pass, remove the collection bag(s) from the pin(s) and invert it
(them). Tap the sides of the tubing going from the bowl to the collection bag
to dislodge any plasma/platelets that might have adhered to the tubing wall.
2. Close the product bag(s) clamp(s) and remove the collection bag(s) from the
“3-way split” connection. Label the product(s) with the following minimum
information:
!
Patient’s name and/or identification number
!
Hospital identification number
!
Date and time collected
!
Amount collected
!
Type and amount of anticoagulant used
!
Type of product
!
Technician’s name
Note: Remember that any autologous blood product collected has been
processed from a patient who might not normally been accepted for blood
donation. Therefore, unless the blood passes AABB or hospital donation
standards, the products obtained in autotransfusion or plasma sequestration
procedures must be labeled “for autologous use only.” They should be kept
segragrated and used solely for that purpose.
Note: If the system has been set up for autotransfusion, the red cells may be
returned to the collection reservoir for later washing if desired.
Warning: Refer to the current AABB standards for expiration date for stored
blood.
3. Retain the product(s) for reinfusion upon a physician’s order. Use procedures
consistent with your blood bank protocol for platelet product storage and
handling.
4. Using the removal tool provided in the LN 244 Disposable Kit, remove the
harness from the outlet port of the bowl. Connect the effluent line tubing
between the outlet port of the bowl and the waste bag.
5. Disconnect the blood collection bag from the wash line spike and spike a
bag of wash solution if cell salvage will be performed.
