Cell Saver 5+ – Simplified and safe autotransfusion with Haemonetics
The Cell Saver 5+ cell saver from Haemonetics is now standard in operating theatres for the recovery and reinfusion of patient blood. Designed for intraoperative autotransfusion, this intelligent system collects, filters, washes and returns red blood cells, minimising the need for allogeneic transfusions. It offers a safe, fast and effective alternative in complex surgical situations where blood loss is significant, while respecting the integrity of the patient's cells.
This device is designed for ease of use with an ergonomic interface featuring a large touchscreen and step-by-step visual guidance. The Cell Saver 5+ can be set up quickly and requires minimal training for staff. Thanks to its automated functions and pre-assembled consumables, blood processing steps are performed smoothly and intuitively, reducing human error and increasing efficiency in the operating theatre.
Its effectiveness is based on centrifugation technology that isolates red blood cells by removing contaminants such as lipids, tissue debris, platelets and anticoagulants. Washing is performed with saline solution to restore the recovered blood to optimal quality. The system adapts to different surgical protocols thanks to its customisable settings, including the final concentration of red blood cells and the volume of wash solution used. This level of clinical flexibility allows it to be tailored perfectly to the specific needs of each patient and procedure.
The Cell Saver 5+ also stands out for its compact and mobile design. Mounted on wheels, it fits easily into the operating theatre, even in confined spaces. Its low noise level ensures a better working environment for surgical teams. It also has a USB port for exporting clinical data, which facilitates the traceability of medical procedures and the management of quality audits.
The Cell Saver 5+ is a comprehensive, reliable and high-performance solution for autotransfusion. It offers healthcare facilities increased clinical efficiency, better control of transfusion costs and a concrete response to transfusion safety needs. Thanks to its robust design and proven technology, it has become an indispensable ally in cardiac, orthopaedic, vascular and obstetric surgery.
