Fill at surgical field via the extracorporeal circuits arterial line connected to the
Hemobag®, (alternatively
you can connect the aortic cannula into a 1/4 inch line like the
unused sucker or vent line and fill down below at the level of the pump once
it's taken out of the roller head and the other end connected to the top of the Hemobag®), then chase forward the circuit's blood volume with crystalloid displacement.
Step 2
Apply the Hemobag® to the closed TS3 Tubing Set's
"Recovery Loop circuit" for hemoconcentration via a spare roller pump not in
use. Concentrate down to a fine, rich, autologous whole blood product with
harmful wastes and excess water removed but all functional cellular components saved
from being discarded.
Step 3
With the lines clamped and capped, the Hemobag®
is now ready for labeling and end-product infusion by anesthesia.
