Blood Banking and Transfusion

KARMI BLOOD BAG

～ SINGLE AND MULTIPLE BLOOD COLLECTION SYSTEM

Features:

• Ultra smooth siliconized needle minimizes patient’s pain and discomfort during venipuncture
• Inner surface of the bag is specially designed to minimize trauma to red cell and platelet cellular components
• Rounded corners allow for smoother transfer of blood during the separation and transfusion processes, and results in a smaller volume of blood remaining in the bag
• Anti-needle stick protector covers donor needle upon removal from the vein to prevent accidental needle stick injuries
• Pre-attached vacuum tube holder facilitates secure blood sampling collection
• Sampling pouch to collect the first portion of blood from donor and prevents contamination from indigenous bacterial on the skin

KARMI PO BAG

～PLATELET STORAGE BAG

Features:

• Made from Polyolefin to store platelets with high oxygen permeability
• Collection, preservation, transportation and transfusion of platelets
• Superior high oxygen permeability insures adequate oxygen for platelets
• Safer due to no plasticizing and stabilizing agents
• Superior in heat and cold resistance

POTASSIUM ADSORPTION FILTER

～REDUCING RISK OF HYPERKALEMIA AND MAKING SAFER BLOOD
TRANSFUSION

Features:

• Adsorption and removal of excessive potassium from packed red blood cells with SAG-M preservative solution (RBC-SAGM) that have been irradiated and/or stored for a long period of time
• Intended patients: fetuses, premature infants, neonates, infants who are receiving exchange transfusions or extracorporeal circulation treatments or patients who urgently need rapid and massive blood transfusion to safe their life

Performance:

• Effects an exchange of excessive potassium ions (K+) with sodium ions (Na+) in RBC-SAGM
• When dealing with human RBC-SAGM containing potassium concentration of 30 to 50mEq/L, at least 80% of the potassium is removed
  The small volume: flow rate of less than 30mL/min.
  The large volume: flow rate of less than 50mL/min.
