Venous Hardshell Cardiotomy Reservoir (MACE) for pediatrics with SOFTLINE Coating, vacuum-tight, Sterile. The Paediatric (VHK 31000) Venous Hardshell Cardiotomy Reservoirs are developed for the use in the field cardiopulmonary bypass operation. They are used as blood buffer in the extracorporeal circuit and as collecting and defoaming device for sucked blood. Both reservoirs are of identical design, differing only in the size, to enable the defined performance within flow rates, required for neonatal or paediatric patients.The reservoirs can also be employed postoperatively as drainage and auto-transfusion reservoir (e.g., for thorax drainage) to return the autologous blood to the patient which was removed from the thorax for the volume exchange.
A device intended to be integrated within an extracorporeal circuit to collect, store, and filter blood typically during a cardiopulmonary bypass procedure; it does not include additional functional components such as an oxygenator. It is typically a hardshell or soft, bag-like container with connectors designed to trap micro-particles and air bubbles for a period of time (e.g., 6 hours) and hold a reserve supply of blood; some types may also defoam. This is a single-use device.
