Describing the Cell Saver 5+ System Components
Receptacles and collection containers
Every CS5+ disposable setup must be equipped with the following recepta-
cles: a waste bag, a reinfusion bag and a source of unprocessed blood which
may be either a collection reservoir or an extracorporeal circuit. A typical
disposable set will have saline tubing and spikes to connect to a saline solu-
tion source. An aspiration and anticoagulation (A&A) assembly is also
required. The A&A assembly contains a double lumen tubing which can be
attached to a suction tip for aspiration from the field. Blood and AC solution
are drawn into the tubing by wall suction, mixed and then passed through
the tubing into a collection reservoir. The roller clamp regulates the AC solu-
tion flow.
