4. Break the cannulae on all solution containers (saline (if
available), red cell preservation solution, and anticoagulant –
in any order). The cannulae are located at the inlet of each
solution container. To completely break a cannula, grasp it
in both hands, snap it at a 90-degree angle in one direction,
and then bend it in the opposite direction. To ensure proper
fluid flow, the cannula should be snapped as close to the
middle of the breakaway portion as possible.
