OMPLETING
THE
SEQUESTERING
PROCEDURE
Removing the plasma product
After the final sequestering pass, the operator should disconnect the plasma
product as follows:
"
Remove the collection bags from the pins and invert the bags.
"
Tap the sides of the effluent tubing leading to the collection bags to
dislodge any plasma/platelets which might have adhered to the tub-
ing.
"
Remove the collection bags from the Y-connection.
"
Label the PRP product with the following minimum information:
!
Patient name and/or identification number.
!
Hospital identification number.
!
Date and time collected.
!
Volume collected.
!
Type and amount of AC solution used.
!
Type of product (e.g.
PRP
).
"
Retain the 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 CS5+ system has been set up for autotransfusion, the red blood cells
may be returned to the cardiotomy reservoir for later washing if desired.
Warning: The operator should refer to the current standards for expiration
date of stored blood.
Removing the sequestering disposable set
"
Remove the Y-connector from the effluent line on the standard Cell
Saver collection set.
"
Connect the effluent line from the bowl directly to the waste bag.
"
Disconnect the blood collection bag from the wash line spike.
"
Spike a bag of normal saline solution with the wash line spike.
