Cell Saver Guidelines
The Blood Management (Bloodless) Program at our hospital has been asked to oversee implementation of the new AABB guidelines for cell savers. The goal is to consistently ensure a high hematocrit product returned to the patient. Have any of you had any experience with developing the testing procedures? Also, who operates your cell savers during a procedure? Are they “certified”? If so, by whom? How often are your cell saver units tested for quality in the return product?
We appreciate any suggestions and information.
