Additional Information for Autotransfusion Accessory Unit
An Autotransfusion Accessory Unit is a medical device used in the field of surgery to collect and process a patient's own blood during a surgical procedure. This unit is part of the supply class Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
Autotransfusion is a process where the patient's own blood is collected, filtered, and then reinfused back into their body during or after surgery. This helps to minimize the need for donor blood transfusions and reduces the risk of complications associated with transfusions.
The Autotransfusion Accessory Unit typically includes components such as a blood collection reservoir, a blood filter, a centrifuge or cell saver, and tubing to connect these components. The blood is collected from the surgical site or from a drainage system, processed to remove any impurities or contaminants, and then returned to the patient's bloodstream.
These units are commonly used in surgeries where significant blood loss is expected, such as cardiac surgeries, orthopedic surgeries, and trauma surgeries. They help to conserve the patient's own blood, reduce the need for donor blood, and promote faster recovery.
It's important to note that the specific features and components of an Autotransfusion Accessory Unit may vary depending on the manufacturer and model.
