The TCDB40 Wafer Assembly consists of a copper wafer and plastic holder. The plastic holder is color coded to assist the operator with proper placement/insertion. The wafer assembly is placed in the TCDB40 Sterile Tube Welding device prior to the weld process. The copper wafer is separated from the plastic holder during the welding process and after welding is completed both the plastic holder and the copper wafer are removed from the device and discarded. The wafers are single use only and cannot be reused. The TCDB40 Sterile Tube Welding device will not operate without a wafer assembly inserted and will not operate with a used a wafer. The TCDB40 wafer assemblies are packaged in 8 plastic trays. Each tray has 25 individual wafer assemblies. Each box referred to as a case has a total of 200 individual TCDB40 wafer assemblies.
A mains electricity (AC-powered) device intended to make a sterile connection (weld) between two segments of plastic tubing (typically blood transfer tubing during blood/blood component processing applications) in a clinical laboratory setting. It is a tabletop device which includes a blade, realignment mechanism, heating element and clamps intended to enable tubing dissection/reconnection while maintaining a closed system (sterile fluid path). This is a reusable device.
