may be purchased separately.
Figure 3-34 Red Blood Cells (RBC) Bag
The bags have three ports on them: two are protected by tamper-proof closures; the third has a luer
lock type connector. The luer lock connector is pre-attached to the red tube from the tubing harness.
Another port may be used for connection to a secondary RBC bag if reinfusion is to be performed
while the primary RBC bag is connected to the X
TRA
autologous transfusion circuit. The third port may
be used as a source for an additional secondary RBC bag line or for obtaining samples for quality
assurance testing, if necessary.
If the recovered red cells are to be reinfused to the patient from the secondary RBC bag, a standard
“Y”-type Blood Administration Set with a spike connector and appropriate drip chamber is required. It
CAUTION
Do not completely empty the waste bag until the end of the case. If you
empty the waste bag during the case, leave approximately one liter of fluid in
the waste bag to prevent the possibility of vacuum being generated in the
waste bag during the Empty cycle. Vacuum in the waste bag may prevent
complete emptying of the bowl.
WARNING
The waste bag should be replaced with the equipment STOPPED
(pump and centrifuge) and the bowl completely empty. This
instruction does not apply if the replacement of the waste bag is
done with a vented waste bag.
