7. Remove the collection bags from the Y-connection.
Retain the PPP/PRP product for reinfusion upon the order of a physician.
Utilize procedures consistent with those of the local blood bank for platelet
product storage and handling.
It is important to remember that any autologous blood product collected has
been processed from a patient who might not normally have been accepted for
blood donation. Therefore, unless the blood passes current applicable or
hospital donation standards, the products obtained in autotransfusion or
plasma sequestration procedures must be labeled “for autologous use only”.
These products should be stored separately and used solely for that purpose.
If the Cell Saver Elite system has been set up for autotransfusion, the RBCs
may be returned to the cardiotomy reservoir for later washing if desired.
Refer to the current standards for expiration date of stored blood.
