For collection of blood and preparation of red blood cells, plasma and platelets.

Failure to achieve and maintain a closed system during processing would result in a product that must be transfused within 24 hours.

Use aseptic technique. Use only if solutions are clear. If preparing a platelet concentrate, the platelet-rich plasma should be separated from the red blood cells within 8 hours after blood collection. If preparing fresh frozen plasma, separate from the red blood cells and place in the freezer at -18 °C or colder within 8 hours after collection.

* During processing, always observe the following precautions:

1. Sealing should be done in a manner that avoids fluid splatter.

2. Always dispose of blood-contaminated products in a manner consistent with established BIOHAZARD safety procedures.

Store CP2D/AS-3 preserved red blood cells at 1—6 °C for up to 42 days and use as indicated.

1. Load blood agitation device or suspend blood bag on donor scale and adjust donor scale to desired collection gross weight as per manufacturer's instructions.

2. Clamp donor tubing between DonorCare® Needle Guard (DCNG) and Y Sampling Site.

3. Secure donor tubing above the Y connector and disinfect site of phlebotomy.

4. If using blood pressure cuff, inflate to not more than 60 mm Hg.

5. Remove donor needle cover and accomplish phlebotomy.

6. Release clamp and ensure there is blood flow. Reduce pressure as required.

7. Slide the DCNG midway over the needle hub and securely tape DCNG to the donor's arm as close to the top of the DCNG as possible. Note: If blood flow is slow, slide DCNG away from the needle hub, adjust and re-engage DCNG. If repeated needle adjustment is necessary, slide DCNG away from the needle hub and re-engage at the end of blood collection.

8. Collect appropriate volume of blood into collection bag, as indicated on packaging.

Note: Mix blood and anticoagulant frequently during collection, for example, once every 45 seconds, and immediately after collection. If blood agitation device is used, follow manufacturer's operating instructions.

9. After required amount of blood has been collected, seal donor tubing close to Y Sampling Site.*

10. For blood sampling, remove the Y Sampling Site needle cover. Ensure the protective sheath is in place over the sampling needle.

11. Fasten the vacuum tube holder on to the base of the sampling needle.

12. Collect blood samples into vacuum tubes.

13. Ensure the vacuum tubes are centered within the vacuum tube holder during sample collection.

14. Maintain forward pressure on the vacuum tubes during sample collection. Note: After the last tube is collected, it is recommended that the vacuum tube holder be left in place.

15. After blood samples are collected, clamp donor tubing between the Y Sampling Site and DCNG, and as close to the DCNG as possible.

16. Release any remaining pressure from the donor's arm.

17. DCNG must be held stationary while the needle is withdrawn into it. While holding sides of DCNG near the front, grasp the tubing below the clamp and pull the needle into the DCNG until it locks into place, and the needle hub engages the bottom of the DCNG.

6. Release clamp and ensure there is blood flow.

7. Slide the DCNG midway over the needle hub and securely tape DCNG to the donor's arm as close to the top of the DCNG as possible. Note: If blood flow is slow, slide DCNG away from the needle hub, adjust and re-engage DCNG. If repeated needle adjustment is necessary, slide DCNG away from the needle hub and re-engage at the end of blood collection.

8. The donor blood will be automatically diverted to the sample diversion pouch. Once the sample diversion pouch is filled, close clamp immediately on tubing between the sample diversion pouch and Y connector. Warning: To avoid risk of air embolism to donor, do not squeeze sample diversion pouch while tubing is open.

9. Open snap-open closure between the Y connector and the collection bag to initiate blood collection. Reduce pressure as needed.

10. Permanently seal tubing between the sample diversion pouch and the Y connector to maintain sterility of the system prior to collecting blood samples.* Note: When using systems with a pre-attached SampLok vacuum tube holder, go to Section III.

11. For blood sampling, remove the Sampling Site needle cover. Ensure the protective sheath is in place over the sampling needle.

12. Fasten the vacuum tube holder on to the base of the sampling needle.

13. Position the sample diversion pouch downwards so that the air rises to the top of the pouch and away from the vacuum tube holder. Note: Drawing air into the vacuum tube may cause hemolysis.

14. Collect blood samples from the sample diversion pouch into vacuum tubes within approximately four minutes to avoid possible clot formation.

15. Ensure the vacuum tubes are centered within the vacuum tube holder during sample collection.

16. Maintain forward pressure on the vacuum tubes during sample collection. Note: After the last tube is collected, it is recommended that the vacuum tube holder be left in place.
