were being placed on the donor pools with the development and refinement of
sophisticated surgical procedures such as open heart surgery.
The shortages of donor blood during the Vietnam War revived interest in
autotransfusion. In Vietnam, an American military surgeon named Klebanoff
began using the open heart pump to capture, anticoagulate, filter, and reinfuse
the blood lost in surgery.

Klebanoff’s machine was introduced in the 1970’s by Bentley Laboratories in a
commercial version. Klebanoff’s machine was effective though unsophisticated.
Blood was simply anticoagulated, filtered, and reinfused. The Bentley machine
was the first attempt to modernize autologous blood recovery in decades.
Haemonetics Cell
Saver Systems
Haemonetics Cell Saver Systems are aptly named. Their primary purpose is the
recovery of red blood cells (RBCs). The RBCs are recovered from the shed blood
that has, in the past, simply been discarded after an operation. Cell Saver Systems
collect, concentrate, and wash the RBCs, removing unwanted components, and
then return them to the reinfusion bag or a extracorporeal circuit for reinfusion.
The first Haemonetics Cell Saver System was released in 1975. With each
generation of Cell Saver System, Haemonetics has improved performance and
increased automation. Today, Haemonetics Cell Saver Systems are used in a wide
range of surgical procedures.
