Presenting the Cell Saver 5+ System XPLAINING AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD TRANSFUSION Autologous blood is now widely accepted as the first choice for transfusion, whenever possible. The term autologous blood refers to blood which is derived from one individual. An autologous blood transfusion can be defined as a procedure in which a patient receives his or her own blood.
Presenting the Cell Saver 5+ System Historical overview The following paragraphs summarize the history of transfusion methods. Early experiments with transfusion Some of the earliest recorded attempts at transfusion were undertaken by a French physician, Jean Denys, who in the 1660’s performed transfusions between animals and humans with predictably disastrous results Quite reasonably, the French government stepped in and forbade the trans- fusion of blood except with the permission of a member of the Faculty of...
RBCs, removing unwanted components, then pack the RBCs and return them to a transfer container for reinfusion. The first Haemonetics Cell Saver system was released in 1975. With each generation of the Cell Saver systems, Haemonetics has improved perfor- mance and increased automation.
The CS5+ model improves upon the design and performance of its prede- cessors by processing shed blood faster without compromising the quality of the end product (packed RBCs). Haemonetics has improved and streamlined the features and functions of earlier units to meet the demands and needs of the modern operating room.

Describing the Cell Saver 5+ System Components RESENTING THE DISPOSABLE SET ELEMENTS A variety of disposable sets are available for use with the CS5+ device. This section provides a general understanding of the various elements, uses and operating characteristics. Detailed installation instructions and further speci- fications will be provided in subsequent chapters.
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.
Describing the Cell Saver 5+ System Components Centrifuge bowl The key component of the disposable set is the centrifuge bowl, where the RBCs are separated, washed, and packed. Both models of centrifuge bowls, the Latham bowl and the 70mL Bowl, consist of two subassemblies: an inner assembly which remains stationary and an outer assembly which rotates.
Describing the Cell Saver 5+ System Components The two subassemblies of the bowl are joined with a rotary seal which forms a barrier between the inside and outside of the bowl. The effectiveness of the seal may be impaired if the bowl is incorrectly mounted in the chuck. Fully seating the bowl in the centrifuge chuck will ensure proper alignment.
Page 48
Describing the Cell Saver 5+ System Components The following series of drawings illustrate the operation of the bowl through the FILL-WASH-EMPTY states. Filling the bowl to the appropriate level as shown will give a hematocrit of at least 50% for the washed cells. The hematocrit may be increased by filling the bowl until the red cell interface is closer to the center of the bowl, however manually regulating the interface in this manner is not advised.

Ensuring Safe Operation and Patient Care NDERSTANDING SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES This chapter provides general information about: Safe operating practices for the CS5+ system. Precautions to take when providing patient care. Explanation about procedure parameters and processing times. The CS5+ device is intended to be used in locations which are free of flam- mable gases and vapors.
To comply with the IEC 60601-1-2:2001 Standard for Medical Electrical Equipment, general requirements for safety, it is not permitted to power the Cell Saver 5+ device using a power cord not supplied by Haemonetics, a multiple portable socket outlet or an extension cord.
If the bowl is empty, this could indicate a problem with the air detector and the operator should contact the local Haemonetics technical representative. P/N 53063-30, Manual revision: B...
Ensuring Safe Operation and Patient Care Inspecting for twists and kinks in the tubing A careful inspection of the installed harness should be carried out to ensure that each section is correct installed on the CS5+ device and that all tubes are free of twists or kinks.
Ensuring Safe Operation and Patient Care Avoiding red blood cell spillage Under normal conditions there should be little or no red blood cell spillage and the effluent line sensor will reduce the occurrence of spillage. During the WASH state, two conditions may especially result in red blood cells spilling over into the waste bag: Overfilling of the bowl during manual processing.
Ensuring Safe Operation and Patient Care ROVIDING SAFE PATIENT CARE Reinfusing blood Gravity reinfusion of washed cells is accomplished more rapidly than infu- sion of the usual unit of homologous, packed cells because red blood cells suspended in saline are less viscous and are already at room temperature. The blue-coded harness line is primed at the factory with 20 ml of sterile air.
Ensuring Safe Operation and Patient Care ACTORS AFFECTING PROCESSING TIME Cell Saving The time required to process a centrifuge bowl of salvaged blood depends on the following factors: Salvaged blood hematocrit. Bowl volume. Bowl filling rate. Wash volume. Wash flow rate. Empty flow rate.

Cell Saving using Automatic Operation Emptying the bowl When the appropriate volume of saline has entered the bowl, the CS5+ sys- tem will automatically stop the pump. The centrifuge will stop spinning and the red blood cells suspended in saline solution will be pumped from the bowl into the reinfusion bag.
Cell Saving using Automatic Operation Reinfusing processed blood Reinfusion of the processed blood to the patient can begin as soon as there are red blood cells in the reinfusion bag. Collection of shed blood in the res- ervoir, filling the bowl, and reinfusing processed blood to the patient can oc- cur simultaneously throughout the procedure.
Cell Saving using Automatic Operation Explaining the air sensor detection messages Whenever the air sensor detects air in the disposable tubing during the EMP- TY state, the CS5+ system assumes that all RBCs have been transferred to the product bag from the bowl and the pump will stop. When air is detected during the FILL state, the system assumes that the reservoir is empty.
