Definitions

  • this disclosure teaches a method for eliminating mistakes in returning a container of red blood cells to the correct donor.
  • a mating plug and receptacle of distinctive shape are connected between the container and its support. If the plug and receptacle do not match, there is no convenient way to support the container for intravenous delivery of the red blood cells to the donor.
  • the basic concept can be applied also to a wide variety of other services.
  • Plasmapheresis is a method of obtaining plasma from a blood donor by extracting blood, centrifuging the blood to remove plasma and then returning red blood cells to him.
  • a critical danger in plasmapheresis is that the red blood cells might be retumedby mistake to the wrong donor. Such a mistake could result in serious complications or even death.
  • safety checks used in plasmapheresis have been entirely visual and have included matching of donor numbers with cot numbers or matching colors. But these safety checks are subject to obvious human mistakes and other limitations.
  • one object of this invention is to detect a mismatch by physical means.
  • Another object is to render the blood container physically unsupportable in the event there is a mismatch.
  • Another object is to make these matches relatively independent from human shortcomings such as inattention, boredom and color blindness.
  • Another object is to be able to centrifuge the blood container along with the plug, without damage to the blood container or impairment of centrifugal separation.
  • Another object is to provide plug and receptacle configurations and sizes such that each plug is able to be fitted into its corresponding receptacle and none other, even by force or turning.
  • FIG. 1 is a plug receptacle pair according to the present invention.
  • FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 depict a cot and associated stand suitable for blood donating, with FIG. 2 showing the plasmapheresis situation before donating, FIG. 3 showing the situation when a supply of blood is taken from the donor and FIG. 4 showing the situation when red blood cells and saline solution are returned to the donor.
  • FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 illustrate other suitable plug and receptacle pairs.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 show receptacles with numeral and letter coding.
  • the donor usually reclines on a cot 11 (or the like) which is provided with hook 12 below the level of the donor for receiving whole blood from one of the donor's arms via tube 13.
  • Stand 14 is also provided and it has hooks l and 16 for supporting solid blood constituents and saline solution respectively for subsequent intravenous delivery to the donor via tubes 17 and 18.
  • hook 16 and saline container 25 so that hook 16 can accommodate only saline container 25, and not blood container 19.
  • FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 cot I1 and stand 14, with member 23 depending from hook by means of closed link 26, are prepared for the donor. Plug 21 is in place in receptacle 24 and is retained therein by latch 27 rotatable about pin 28. Blood container 19 has loops 29 and 31 at its ends 32 and 33 respectively. In taking whole blood from the donor, blood container 19 is hung on hook 12 by means of closed link 34 and loop 29.
  • the technician then removes plug 21 from receptacle 24 and connects the plug by means of snap link 35 onto loop 31 of blood container .19.
  • the supply of whole blood is taken from the donor, it is removed (with plug 21 connected to it) for centrifuging to separate plasma therefrom. This centrifuging is accomplished with plug 24 connected to loop 21 of blood container 19.
  • red blood cells of the blood are returned to the area in container 19 which the technician hangs on stand 14 by opening latch 27, inserting plug 21 into receptacle 24 and closing latch 27.
  • member 23 includes back 36 which cooperates with latch 27 for holding plug 21 in position.
  • Saline container 25 is hung from hook 116 and a mixture of red blood cells and saline solution is introduced intravenously to the donor via tubes 17 and 18 to complete the plasmapheresis procedure.
  • this invention contemplates plugs of a wide variety of shapes. Plugs may be coded according to numerals and or letters as shown by receptacle 23 in FIGS. 8 and 9. It is most important that plug and receptacle configurations and sizes be selected such that each plug is able to be fitted into its corresponding receptacle and none other even by force or turning. Support for blood container 19 requires that plug 19 have a reasonable broad horizontal abutment 37 on which to seal plug 21.
  • a method for avoiding mistakes in matching a patient to substance to be administered comprising the steps of arranging a connection position relative to the patient in which position a container having the substance therein must be placed for administering the substance to the patient,
  • a method for perfonning plasmapheresis comprising the steps of arranging an elevated support relative to the donor in which support a container having red blood cells therein must be placed for intravenous return of the red blood cells to the donor,
  • a receptacle which has a shape which conforms to the cross-sectional shape of the plug, and thereafter inserting the plug into the receptacle to position the blood container on the support for intravenous delivery of the red blood cells to the donor.
