Material
Article number
Haemoselect L 0.5
7061007C
2 x collection bags
7210929
3 l H.E.L.P. 0.9% NaCl solution
4107
3 connection lines
7210934
3 anti-contamination caps
2 venting filters
7500 IU heparin
Mix the H.E.L.P. 0.9% NaCl solution and 7500 IU
heparin.
Attach a connection line with the NaCl solution, fill
the line and connect it with the blood-side filter
inlet.
Connect the remaining connection lines and the
empty bags as shown in the Figure with the plasma
and blood sides of the filter and clamp the line on
the plasma side.
Allow the rinse solution to flow by means of gravity
into the blood-side empty bag.
Hold the filter so that it is filled from the bottom to
the top and thoroughly vented in the process.
Open the plasma-side line when approximately half
of the rinse solution has flown into the blood-side
empty bag and clamp the blood-side line. Continue
to rinse.
Clamp shut all connection lines when the remaining
rinse solution has flown through (be careful that no
air enters the filter!) and remove the bags.
Stop the blood pump, clamp shut the arterial and
the venous plasma lines, remove the old filter and
connect them with the new plasma filter in the
correct orientation. Close the old filter with the
anti-contamination caps.
Reopen the blood and plasma lines and start the
blood pump.
