Abstract
A pair of long jaws moveable with respect to one another whether mounted in a desk mounted sealer or hand held sealer, compresses, heats and welds liquid filled blood bag or liquid filled tubing placed therebetween. The long jaws also serve as the plates of a variable capacitor of an RF resonant circuit. The flow of RF energy across the pair of jaws, which energy heats the blood bag or tubing and, in conjunction with mechanical pressure, focused RF energy, makes the leak free weld. The sealer welds blood bag and tubing in compartments for handling (cord) blood fractionation, carried out efficiently, conveniently and with minimum danger of contamination of the collected (cord) blood or any fractionated portion or component part thereof.
Description
Description
Electro mechanical blood bag and tubing sealer
Background Art
[0001] The present invention relates to tubing sealers and, more particularly, a blood bag and tubing sealer generating radio frequency power to melt and weld a seal across the plastic of blood bag or tubing creating
compartments in a single bag closed system for handling fractionated (cord) blood.
[0002]
[0003] The sterile collecting and handling of (cord) blood and the fractionation thereof into its component parts or into smaller portions has presented numerous serious problems which have not heretofore been adequately solved. Among these problems has been that of insuring against contamination and degradation of the (cord) blood and its separated components, such as stem cells, plasma, platelets, leukocytes and erythrocytes by occlusion of and contact with air and other aseptically deleterious agents. Recognizing these problems, various attempts have been made in the past to solve them by providing closed systems consisting of a plurality of flexible plastic bags interconnected by tubing, by means of which (cord) blood or portions thereof collected in one bag might be squeezed into one or more other bags of the system without incurring any danger of contamination by infectious agents.
[0004] Since it is necessary for fractionation of the (cord) blood into its component parts to subject the (cord) blood to one or more centrifugations, the use of such plural bag closed systems has not been entirely satisfactory because of the difficulty and inconvenience encountered in fitting the several bags of the system and their appendages in the centrifuging apparatus, in addition to which the transfer of fluid from one bag to another has proved to be a cumbersome and inconvenient procedure because of the necessity of maintaining in some semblance of order the interconnecting tubing and other appendages which are incident to the multiple bag system. Further, the cost of such system is quite considerable, particularly when it is considered that in many instances the (cord) blood is not required to be
separated into its components or is only required to be separated into stem cells and plasma, and that frequently the need for such separation is not known at that time the (cord) blood is initially collected, so that all of the bags of the system are not always required to be used and represent unnecessary cost and expense.
[0005] Having in mind the foregoing, it is a primary object of the may invention to provide a sealer that seals single bag closed system in compartments for handling fractionated (cord) blood and within which practically all of the operations capable of being performed in the plural bag systems now in use may be carried out efficiently, conveniently and with minimum danger of contamination of the collected (cord) blood or any fractionated portion or component part thereof.
[0006] Because of the required mobility, sealing, low cost (cord) blood
fractionation procedures and ease of operability. A tube sealer partly suitable for this purpose is described in US 4013860 A (ENGINEERING & RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC.) , US 5349166 A (ENGINEERING & RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC.) , US 4384186 A (WILLIAM R. BURT) , US 4186292 A (ENGINEERING & RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC.) , US 4268338 A (PETERSON ELECTRONIC DIE CO.) . It discloses a tube sealer having a pair of jaws for compressing the tubing while
simultaneously applying radio frequency energy to melt the tubing and form a weld thereacross to effect a seal. The described tube sealer is portable and has been successfully used throughout the world for many years.
[0007]
Brief Description of Drawings
[0008] The present invention will be described with greater specificity and clarity with reference to the following drawings, in which:
[0009] FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrates a side view of the hand held sealer for receiving, compressing, welding and releasing fluid filled plastic blood bag and tubing;
[0010] FIG. 3 illustrate a top view of the desk mounted sealer for receiving,
compressing, welding and releasing fluid filled plastic blood bag and
tubing;
[001 1] FIGS. 4a-4d illustrates a blood bag with (cord) blood which is centrifuged, fractionated, and sealed in compartments with the blood bag and tubing sealer;
[0012]
[0013] FIG. 1 illustrates a hand sealer connected through a coaxial cable 5 to a radio frequency (RF) generator (not shown). FIG 2 illustrates a
hand sealer with an internal radio frequency (RF) generator and working on batteries. The hand sealer includes a manually or electrical operated trigger 6, as illustrated. To initiate a seal or weld across the blood bag 10 or tubing 14, the blood bag or tubing is placed between the fixed jaw 1 and moveable jaw 4. Upon actuating trigger 6, as illustrated, movable jaw 4 is drawn toward fixed jaw 1 to squeeze or compress the blood bag at site 2 or tubing at site 3 therebetween. Simultaneously, RF energy is transmitted across the jaws through blood bag and tubing resulting in heating and subsequent melting of the blood bag or tubing to form, in combination with the compressive force of the jaws, a weld thereacross.
[0014] Referring to FIG 4, sealing the liquid filled blood bag with the sealer just under the buffy coat, traps the red blood cells in the lower part of the blood bag 1 1. Rotating the blood bag and centrifuging again, drives the blood cells in the tubing 13, 15. Sealing the tubing above the buffy coat traps the plasma 12. Sealing the tube under the buffy coat traps the buffy coat with stem cells 13.
Industrial Applicability
[0015] The technical advancements offered by the electro mechanical blood bag and tubing sealer include the realization of, a simple, reliable, rapid, effective and efficient apparatus for (cord) blood fractionation that aseptically separates the plasma, stem cells (buffy coat) and red blood cell component that can be stored at low temperature (cryopreservation).
Claims
1. Apparatus for melting and sealing liquid filled blood bag or liquid filled tubing placed between two electrically conducting jaws movable to compress and seal the liquid filled blood bag or liquid filled tubing therebetween.
2. Apparatus for dividing liquid filled blood bag and liquid filled tubing into a plurality of separately sealed compartments each filled with (cord) blood components initially collected in the blood bag.
