Overview

Autologous Red Blood Cell Salvage

The autoLog^® Autotransfusion System is a sophisticated device with an exceptionally effective design that provides autologous blood during surgical procedures. Autologous red blood cell salvage is a safe, reliable and cost-effective method of returning washed red blood cells to a patient. For clinicians and surgical teams concerned with blood conservation, autotransfusion offers a compelling tool. For certain patient populations refusing transfusion for reasons of faith or otherwise, the autoLog has played an integral role.

Sophisticated, Effective, Fully Automated

The autoLog Autotransfusion System processes blood collected from a surgical site to produce washed red blood cells for return to a patient at a later time. This is achieved with only one kit and one program. An innovative bowl design, coupled with sophisticated software, provides an effective combination for autotransfusion procedures.

2-Stage Filling Cycle

Initial stage

• First FILL at 600 mL/min
• Pump momentarily stops at initial detection of red cells

Final stage

• Second FILL at 250 mL/min initiated after red cells settle
• Red cells packed as tightly as possible

Variable-speed wash cycle

• Level sensor monitors red cell pack
• Software controls pump "pulsations" of saline into the bowl
  • Minimizes red cell spillage
  • Only 250 mL of saline required for effective washout of extraneous materials
