Contraindication: This device used for any other purposes than for the indicated use is the responsibility of the user.

Indication: The autoLog^® is intended for use in the collection, concentration, washing, and reinfusion of autologous blood. Such areas of application may include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:

• General, Cardiovascular, Orthopedic, Vascular, Plastic/Reconstructive, Obstetric/Gynecologic and Neurosurgical

Warnings: Do not use autoLog for direct patient reinfusion. Adequate safeguards do not exist to protect patients in these situations.
