The A&A Line and Post-Op Set
A&A Line
The A&A line is used to collect blood intraoperatively from the surgical field.
The packaging allows it to be delivered into the sterile field.
Figure 24, Example of an A&A line
Note: Efficient operation of the SmartSuction
®
technology depends on the use
of a high air-flow disposable vacuum line and aspiration and anticoagulant
(A&A) line in conjunction with a reservoir that has a maximum capacity of 3
liters.
The Cell Saver Elite+ device has been calibrated to optimize SmartSuction
performance with the use of Haemonetics proprietary disposable sets and
recommended suction tips. Suction and fluid removal performance may
decline if incorrect or non-Haemonetics disposable components are used with
the system.
Post-Op Set
The post-op set is used to collect blood postoperatively from wound drain
tubing placed into the wound while the patient is in the operating room.
