Using Data Acquisition Features

AN
OVERVIEW
OF
THE
FEATURES
Virtually every medical organization uses standard forms to document the
anaesthesia process and these forms are included in the patient file. As a
part of the anaesthesia process, the results of intra- and post-operative
autotransfusion are generally recorded in these forms as well. Recent quality
assurance requirements tend to increase the number of parameters which
need to be recorded. In some sites, all information is later introduced in a
computerized patient file system.
A comprehensive solution is to provide simple and efficient tools to relieve
medical staff from time consuming tasks such as:
!
Copying information displayed by the CS5+ device during operation.
!
Introducing this information on a computer terminal.
To implement this, Haemonetics has introduced on the CS5+ device a
choice of data acquisition tools including:
!
The automatic recording of the parameters describing the autotransfu-
sion process.
!
The ability to retrieve the recorded information on a choice of exter-
nal devices (printer, computer system).
These data acquisition tools can be separated in two categories:
!
On-line data acquisition features: accessible during the autotransfu-
sion process. These tools allow the visualization or transfer of infor-
mation concerning the current procedure.
!
Off-line data acquisition features: permit management of the informa-
tion recorded during the previous procedures. These tools are not
available during processing.
Listing the recorded parameters
The following parameters are automatically stored during each procedure.
This information is retained in the CS5+ memory for the last 10 procedures.
!
Date, day, month and year.
!
Type of surgery.
!
Disposable installation time: the time at which the disposable was
installed on the CS5+ device.
!
Procedure start time: the time at which the first fill cycle was initiated.
!
Bowl size: the type of the bowl used in the disposable set (70mL Bowl
or Latham bowl 125 ml/225 ml).
!
Vacuum in the reservoir: the vacuum force applied to the collection
reservoir during the procedure in mmHg.
!
Mode of operation (AUTOMATIC for automatic operation, MANUAL
for manual operation, MIXED if both modes were used during the
procedure).
