Reducing the risk of infection during blood transfusion with Alaris™ CC

The MFX2207E closed blood set allows a syringe to be filled from a bag and then infused via our pump. The closed system minimises the risk of misconnections of multiple components, such as using a gravity set with a three-way stopcock and a standard syringe set. This helps you with infection prevention and control.

Our video demonstrates how neonatal set MFX2207E is used in clinical environment.

To support the safety of using this device, two separate dynamic tests were conducted by independent test houses, one using human red cells and the other using human platelet concentrate. Results of these tests showed that no biologically significant variations of the PF4 concentration or platelet count was observed.

Platelet Study Red Cell Study

Platelet Study

Five samples of fresh human platelets were taken and quantities from each were drawn up via a T set using 20ml syringes and 50ml syringes. Each sample in turn was then pumped out through the patient line at 100ml/h into a collection tube, via an 18g catheter.

To determine the impact of circulation the samples were analysed in respect of platelet count and of free PF4 (Platelet Factor 4) in the plasma, which is released from platelets if they are ruptured.

Findings

  • samples showed a very small reduction in platelet count (0.4% @ 100ml/h)

  • PF4 concentration showed a slight decrease of 1.9% for the 20ml syringes and 0.6% for the 50ml syringes.

These variations are not considered biologically relevant. This study was conducted by an independent test house, accredited with GLP Compliance and in accordance with Directive 88/320/EEC (as amended by Directive 1999/12/EC)
