■Self-Filling ATS Bag (2450)
The 2450 ATS bag is a sel - illing blood evacuation device
or use with Atrium ATS chamber chest drain models. This
700ml capacity PVC blood bag incorporates a low vacuum
generating spring assembly. The 2450 ATS bag provides
immediate trans er o patient drain age rom an Atrium ATS
chest drain without patient tube disconnection or interrup-
tion o standard chest drainage techniques.
Step 1: Attaching ATS Bag
Prior to attaching the 2450 ATS blood bag, close the chest
drain ATS access line clamp and remove the spike port cap.
Insert the ATS bag spike into the chest drain ATS access line
spike port using a irm twisting motion. To maximize blood
trans er e iciency, position the ATS bag below the base o
the chest drain.

Step 2: Activating ATS Bag
Once the 2450 ATS bag is connected to the ATS line and positioned
below the chest drain, open both clamps. Hold ing the ATS bag two to
our inches below the base o the chest drain, gently bend the ATS bag
upward where indicated to activate blood trans er. When activated, the
sel - illing ATS bag will begin to ill and expand as blood enters rom
the chest drain. Do not activate ATS bag prior to connecting to chest
drain. I accidentally activated prior to system connec tion, simply dis-
place air into the chest drain a ter system connection. (See Displacin
Air Space From ATS Ba ).
Step 3: Di connecting ATS Bag
Once blood evacuation is complete and the illed ATS bag is ready or
disconnection, close both ATS access line and ATS blood bag clamps.
To disconnect, remove ATS spike rom the ATS access line spike port
and insert into the ATS bag spike holder. Recap the ATS access line
spike port and position the ATS access line in the holder located on top
o the chest drain. Keep ATS access line clamp ully closed at all times
when not in use. The 2450 ATS bag is now ready to be handled or
rein usion use. (See Reinfusion Set Up).
Di placing Air Space From ATS Bag
Displacing air by gently squeezing ATS bag will allow more blood vol-
ume into the bag. Repeat as necessary until all air is displaced and ATS
bag is ull.
Filtered Air Vent
The ATS blood bag incorporates a iltered air vent with tethered plug or
reclosure a ter use. The air vent must be open or all non-pressure in u-
sion procedures ( ravity drip, infusion pump) and must remain closed
or pressure in usion (hand squeeze, pressure infuser).

■ ATS Bag Reinfusi n Set Up And
Priming
A microemboli blood ilter and I.V. blood set are required or unwashed
blood rein usion. Caution: A new microemboli blood filter must be
used for each new ATS bag. Priming o the blood ilter and I.V. set is
accomplished by the ollowing steps:
1. Prime I.V. blood administration set and microemboli blood ilter with
sterile saline.
2. A ter chest drain disconnection, invert in-line ATS bag with spike port
pointing upward and remove tethered cap using sterile technique.
Insert saline ilter spike into ATS bag spike port using a irm twisting
motion. Return ATS bag to upright position and place on standard
height I.V. pole.
3. Open iltered air vent located on top o ATS bag irst, then open the
I.V. clamp to complete priming. All remaining air within the I.V. circuit
must be evacuated prior to patient connection. Close I.V. clamp when
ully primed. I.V. is now ready or patient connection. Caution: Fail-
ure to purge all air from the entire I.V. circuit prior to patient con-
nection can result in air emboli.
■ ATS Bag Reinfusi n
Follow all hospital protocols or administering autologous whole blood
rein usion or both gravity drip or pressure in user application:
1. Attach distal end o ully primed I.V. set to patient and open I.V. line
clamp to begin patient in usion.
2. For non-pressure in usion, open iltered air vent or maximum low
rate.
3. For pressure in user application, iltered air vent must remain closed.
Maximum in-line bag in user pressure is 150mmHg. Caution: Do
not reinfuse entire blood contents completel through blood filter
and I.V. set, as air emboli can result.
Caution: Anticoagulant therap and dosage recommen dations are
the discretion of a ph sician and should be monitored carefull dur-
ing and after patient reinfusion.
