摘要:
The present invention provides an apparatus for heating, filtering and eliminating gas from biological fluids. The apparatus includes a heat exchanger for heating biological fluids coaxially positioned within a filter unit. The filter unit receives heated fluid from the heat exchanger within an inner chamber and vents gas to the atmosphere contained within the heated fluid through a vent on the inner chamber. The fluid is radially filtered between the inner chamber and an outer chamber by a filter element coaxially separating the inner and outer chambers.

A whole blood collection system includes an automated pump/control unit and an accompanying disposable blood set. When combined and connected to a source of anticoagulant, these elements allow automatic priming of the blood set with anticoagulant and automatic collection of anticoagulated blood product according to three different collection modes. The unit's pump and the blood set are specially designed to cooperate during the collection process to assure that the collected product has a precise blood to anticoagulant ratio. During the collection procedure, the pump/control unit automatically collects data relating to the procedure. Additional data specifically identifying components of the blood set, such as the blood collection bag, along with identification data on the donor's registration form may be scanned into the pump/controller unit by a scanner associated with the unit; this facilitates positive sample identification and tracking. At the end of the procedure, a printer in the pump/controller unit automatically prints out this information so that a detailed record is immediately available about the collected blood product, the procedure for collecting it and the source of the product, i.e., the donor.
摘要:
A suction collection system particularly suitable for drawing fluids from a patient area and storing the fluids for later use or disposal, which is operable in any orientation of the device, thereby providing a field operable system which may be transported in battlefield conditions. The portable suction system consists of a cylindrical evacuating chamber with a top sealing cap. A suction port on the sealing cap is connected to the fluid collection bag, which consists of a laminar flexible plastic bag having an air permeable, liquid impermeable patch or portion through which air may pass for purposes of providing a vacuum suction, yet the collected fluids will remain in the bag. The suction power is provided by a vacuum pump which is electronically regulated by periodically energizing and de-energizing the pump to conserve power supply energy.
