Sequestering using the Cell Saver 5+ System
Warning: Care must be exercised when sequestering plasma. A 225 ml
bowl can yield 800 ml or more of plasma and cause hypovolemia if fluid
balance is not carefully maintained. Many variables influence the amount
of plasma which can be sequestered and the volume to be sequestered
must be determined by an attending physician. The physician must be
informed of the amount and type of anticoagulant solution used, since the
plasma collected will still contain some AC solution.
Note: The CONCENTRATE state can be used if necessary to draw additional
blood into the bowl for the final cycle. The operator should press the Conc
key if the whole blood supply is depleted when filling the bowl. This allows
the operator to push the remaining PRP out of the bowl.
