Q

 Controls the flow of the blood within the tubings

A
  • Hemostat
32
Q

 Contains an anticoagulant preservative needed to preserve the blood units

A
  • Primary blood bag
33
Q

 Used to contain the first few milimiters of blood that would come from the tubing system before the blood flow is diverted into the primary bag

A
  • Diversion pouch
34
Q

 It is also equipped with a needle in order for it to insert the evacuated tube

A
  • Diversion pouch
35
Q

 The collected blood from the ? will be used for further testing of the donor’s blood

A
  • Diversion pouch
36
Q

can produce two products:
 Whole blood unit
 Packed red blood cell unit

A
  • Single blood bag system
37
Q

 The risk of producing a packed RBC unit in the single blood bag is that you are exposing the unit to the environmental factors, which can affect the shelf life of the blood units (from 35 days, commonly, to 24 hours once the blood bags are opened)

A
  • Single blood bag system
38
Q

 Doesn’t need to be opened just to produce three units since they are connected by tubing systems
 The bags that are connected to the primary blood bag are know to be the transfer bags

A
  • Triple blood bag system
39
Q

 If opened by simply cracking the valves found in the primary bag, it will now lead to the transfer of fluids from the primary bag to one transfer bag, producing a blood unit
 Can produce three units without severely reducing the shelf life of the said units
 These units include:
- Packed red blood cells
- Plasma, in the form of fresh frozen plasma
- Platelet unit or platelet concentrates

A
  • Triple blood bag system
