Double Blood Collection w/ Attached transfer bag is considered a closed system,
this is useful for separating blood components. Collect blood from a suitable
donor in the 450ml bag containing the CPDA#1 anticoagulant via standard blood
collection techniques. The blood is separated into plasma and red blood cells
portions refrigerated upright either via standing gravity or blood centrifuge.
Store the bag with the transfer tube on the bottom since concentrated RBCs are
heavier.
After separation gently snap the white plastic stopper into half to open the
transfer channel which allows concentrated RBC to drain into the attached
transfer bag. After completion of transfer the connecting tubing is cut and
sealed.
Benefits include the ability to freeze the plasma portion for an extended
period. Concentrated RBC’s can be given to an anemic patient in a much smaller
volume.
