Autotransfusion in orthopedic surgery

Autotransfusion: critical in today's environment

As clinical and financial factors drive greater scrutiny of blood usage, the use of autotransfusion is growing throughout the hospital.^1-4

Blood is a SCARCE resource, Blood is an EXPENSIVE resource, Transfusion is associated with POOR outcomes.

• Developing Patient Blood Management approach should be adopted to reduce transfusions, the cascading costs of Mismanaged Blood.

• There is still large variance in blood usage between institutions; 
• Clinicians can refer to European Guidelines for Perioperative Blood Management; 
• Level of evidence 1A shows the proven effect of the perioperative blood transfusion on reducing exposure to allogenic RBC transfusions in major orthopedic surgery.

The development of strategy incorporating autotransfusion management allows your team to adapt to all pre and post operatory situations that may arise during surgery. The autoLog IQ™ provides your team with the device with the smallest footprint allowing you to adapt in all situations.

• Great 20micron filtration performance of the Blood Collection  Reservoir contributes to reducing the risk of bone chips and particles embolism.
  
  
• The 135ml Bowl  size is appropriate for all orthopedics surgeries and allows the possibility to set vacuum regulation by step of 10mmhg for smooth aspiration of the wound cavity in post-operative procedure in ICU.
  
  
• The washout performance^†, removes more than 95% of all contaminants. This includes the in-standard mode which reduces 99% of fatty acids, leading to a low level of white cells and the PFH. This significantly decreases the complement activation and inflammatory response of the treated patients.
  
  
• Dynamic process is proven to recover high-quality blood, fast.^‡

In pre and post operative situations:

• The 135ml Bowl size is appropriate for all orthopedics surgeries.
  
  
• Sophisticated, Effective Dynamic Cell Salvage technology has Simplicity of Operation to recover consistently high-quality washed autologous blood.
  
  
• The auto-self micro-adjustment during the Dynamic Blood Processing doesn’t consume labor from users.
