Clinically proven media technology For standard or rapid flow applications Easy prime technology Enhanced ease of use High efficiency leucocyte removal High red cell recovery Minimal filter hold-up volume Rapid priming without saline Bedside filtration of one unit of red cells Features and Benefits Clinically proven media technology significantly reduces the risk of leucocyte associated transfusion complications such as microaggregates, alloimmunisation, febrile reactions, refractoriness to platelets, Cytomegalovirus and immunosuppression.* Ease of use has been significantly enhanced by the new filter design which provides: Priming by gravity or rapid priming by squeezing the blood bag New vented spike design to allow upstream of filter to drain following transfusion, maximising red cell recovery Unique self levelling drip chamber allowing self priming of the filter and drip chamber For standard or rapid flow applications. Higher flow rates can be achieved with a pressure cuff (up to 300 mmHg). Dependably and efficiently delivers low leucocyte residuals, affording the maximum patient protection against leucocyte related transfusion complications (consistently averaging less than 5 x 105 /unit for buffy coat rich red cells and 2 x 105 /unit for buffy coat poor red cells).* Primes directly with red cells quickly and conveniently without the need for priming with saline. High technology filtration media and minimal filter hold-up volume (20 mL after recovery) provides minimal loss of red cells without the need for saline flushing. Unique housing design allows maximum use of the filter media surface area for consistent results
