autoLog™ Autotransfusion System

Exceptionally Effective

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.
