  • various embodiments of the present invention may use commercial blood salvage and processing systems such as the OrthoPAT® Surgical Blood Salvage System, the CardioPATTM Surgical Blood Salvage System, the Cell Saver® Blood Salvage System (e.g., the Cell Saver® Elite® and/or Cell Saver® 5+ systems), all of which are sold by Haemonetics Corporation of Braintree, MA.
  • Some of the commercially available blood salvage and processing systems mentioned above include a blood component separation device (e.g., a centrifuge bowl) that separates the whole blood into its individual components.
  • a blood component separation device e.g., a centrifuge bowl
  • anticoagulant may be added (from an anticoagulant bag 410 connected to the processing system 400; Fig. 3) to the collected shed blood as it is transferred to the processing system 400.
  • the blood is then introduced into the blood component separation device, which separates the whole blood into its individual components (e.g., red blood cells, plasma, platelets, etc.).
  • the platelets and/or plasma may be transferred to a waste bag for disposal, and the processing system 400 may introduce a wash solution into the separation device to wash the red blood cells. After washing the red blood cells, the processing system 400 may return the red blood cells to the patient.
  • the embodiments described above utilize blood salvage reservoirs 200 that are flexible and include an outlet port 230 located on the bottom
  • other embodiments can utilize different reservoirs.
  • some embodiments may utilize a rigid reservoir.
  • some embodiments may utilize reservoirs that do not include an outlet port 230 on the bottom.
  • the user may utilize the inlet port 220 to transfer the collected shed blood from the reservoir 200 to the blood processing system 400 by connecting the connection set 500 (in such embodiments a connector other than the spike 510 may be required to connect to the inlet port 220) to the inlet port 220 and inverting the reservoir 200 such that the blood will exit the reservoir 200 via the inlet port 220 and flow into the blood processing system 400.
  • the shed blood may be collected directly into the blood salvage system 100 (e.g., the blood salvage system 100 may act as a collection reservoir).
  • the vacuum outlet port 140 on the blood salvage system 100 may act as an inlet, and the patient line may be connected directly to the vacuum outlet port 140. Therefore, when a vacuum source is connected, the vacuum will draw the shed blood through the patient line and into the blood salvage system 100.
  • the patient line 240 may be disconnected from and the connection set 500 may be connected to the vacuum outlet port 140 (or the blood salvage system 100 may include an outlet port in a manner similar to the reservoir).
  • the blood salvage system 100 may have a separate outlet port.
  • the order of the method steps can be rearranged.
  • the order of the connections e.g., steps 305 to 315
  • the order of the connections can be rearranged such that the vacuum source is connected after the vacuum inlet port 210 is connected to the vacuum outlet port 140 or after the inlet port 220 is connected to the surgical field.
