bloodfatfor leukoreduction

Clinically proven media technology Reduces leucocytes, fat and microaggregate debris found in salvaged blood Designed for use with either washed or unwashed intra-operative salvaged blood Low filter hold up (31 mL after recovery) and vented spike allowing excellent blood product recovery without the need for saline flushing High flow rate for rapid infusion Automatic priming filter and self-levelling administration set designed for ease of use Latex free Performance Characteristics Leucocytes and lipid particles were studied from both washed and unwashed salvaged blood, obtained from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass procedures and valve replacements or repairs. Pre- versus post-filtration values were analysed using a paired t-test. The results demonstrate significant reductions of both leucocytes (99%; P<0.001) and lipid particles (82%; P<0.001) from salvaged blood.
