TERUFLEX Blood Bag System Anticoagulant Citrate Phosphate Dextrose Adenine (CPDA-1)

2.   DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

2.1.   To open blister package, peel cover film back 4/5 of its length.

2.2.   Prepare the blood bag following your institution's standard operating procedures.

    2.2.1.    Materials Needed:   VENOJECT II Tube Holder (code P-1316R) or equivalent

                                             VENOJECT II Multi-sample Luer Adapter (code MN*2000T) or equivalent

                                              Evacuated blood collection tubes (glass or plastic)

2.3.   Make a loose knot in the donor tubing below the "Y" and CLIKTIP (inline closure device) unless alternate methods are used to seal the tubing at the end of collection.

2.4.   Temporarily clamp donor tubing between the phlebotomy needle and the "Y".

2.5.   Close the White Clamp below the diversion pouch.

2.6   Assemble the luer adapter and the tube holder.

    2.6.1.    Connect the VENOJECT II Multi-Sample Luer Adapter to the VENOJECT II Tube Holder (or equivalent) (Fig. 1).

    2.6.2.    Twist and snap to remove the blue port cap at the end of the Diversion Blood Sampling Arm (Fig. 2a).

    2.6.3.    Insert the Holder/Luer assembly in the female luer port (Fig. 2b).

    2.6.4.   NOTE: Alternatively, steps 2.6.1., 2.6.2. and 2.6.3. (above) may be performed at any time during bag preparation or after the blood is collected into the diversion pouch.

2.7    Suspend the collection bag as far as possible below the donor's arm.

2.8.   Apply blood pressure cuff or tourniquet to donor's arm. Disinfect site of phlebotomy. If blood pressure cuff is used, inflate cuff to approximately 60 mmHg.

2.9.   Remove the needle cover and perform phlebotomy. Remove the temporary clamp on the donor tubing to permit blood flow into the Diversion Blood Sampling Arm pouch.

    2.9.1.    CAUTION:   Do not touch the needle after removing the needle cover.

2.10.   Secure the needle safety device in place following the device instructions provided on the reverse side.

2.11.   Secure donor tubing to donor's arm.

2.12.   Position the diversion pouch with the notches up and the Tube Holder/Luer Adapter assembly (or port cap) down. When the level of blood in the pouch is approximately in line with the notches, the diversion pouch is full (Fig. 3a).

    2.12.1.   NOTE: The approximate fill volume of the pouch at the notches is 35 mL.

2.13.   Permanently seal the tubing between the "Y" and the diversion pouch to maintain a closed system using an aluminum clip or a tube sealer approved for use with tubing connected to a donor (Fig. 3b).

    2.13.1   Do not use a dielectric tube sealer to seal tubing while the needle is connected to the donor's body unless it is approved for such a purpose.

2.14.   To initiate blood flow into the collection bag, break the CLIKTIP between the "Y" and the collection bag.

2.15.   To avoid clot formation, collect samples as soon as possible from the diversion pouch as follows (Fig. 3b).

    2.15.1    CAUTION: Do not collect donor test samples until the tubing between the "Y" and the diversion pouch is permanently sealed.

    2.15.2.   Open the White Clamp on the tubing below the pouch to open the pathway for sampling.

    2.15.3.   Position the diversion pouch with the notches up and the Tube Holder/Luer Adapter assembly downward. Assure that any air in the pouch is at the top and will not enter the blood collection tubes.

    2.15.4.   Insert blood collection tube firmly into the tube holder; when full, remove sample tube from holder. Repeat to collect additional samples.

    2.15.5.   NOTE: The pouch may be removed after the donor test samples are collected. A second seal must be made between the diversion pouch and the permanent seal prior to removing the pouch.

2.16    Mix blood with anticoagulant in the collection bag and continue to mix at several intervals during collection and immediately after collection. If using an automated mixer, follow manufacturer's instructions.

2.17.   Collect labeled volume of blood 450 mL +/- 10% or 500 mL +/- 10%.

2.18.   When the desired amount of blood has been collected, seal the tubing or tighten the loose knot (white knot) prepared in Step 2.3. Make a second seal between the first seal or knot and the "Y". Various methods may be used to seal tubing.

3.   DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

3.1.   63 mL Citrate Phosphate Dextrose Adenine (CPDA-1) anticoagulant for collection of 450 mL Whole Blood. Each 63 mL contains 188 mg Citric Acid (anhydrous) USP, 1.66 g Sodium Citrate (dihydrate) USP, 140 mg Monobasic Sodium Phosphate (monohydrate) USP, 2.01 g Dextrose (monohydrate) USP and 17.3 mg Adenine USP.
