2550 In-line ATS Bag
n In-Line ATS Bag (2550)
Atrium’s 2550 in-line ATS bag is a compact postoperative ATS
collection device for use wit Atrium c est drains equipped wit
in-line patient tube connectors. Atrium’s locking “auto-connect”
in-line tubing connectors provide rapid conversion from collection
mode to reinfusion mode in seconds.
Step 1: Place ent Onto Chest Drain Or Bed Rail
Atrium’s advanced anger design provides quick and easy posi-
tioning directly onto t e front face of t e c est drain or adjacent
bed rail as s own. For added security during patient transit, t e
anger can be placed over t e c est drain andle. Firmly close
bot ATS bag clamps prior to connector cap removal.
Step 2: To Connect In-Line ATS Bag To Chest Drain
To begin, move t e open patient tube clamp next to
t e in-line connector for convenient system set up
and easy visual c eck. Close t e patient tube slide
clamp firmly and separate by depressing connector
lock.
Once separated, remove cap from female ATS bag connector and
insert male patient tube connector. Remove second ATS bag cap and
insert male ATS bag connector into female c est drain connector. In-
line ATS bag is now connected to c est drain and patient.
Step 3: Open Cla ps To Begin Blood Collection
Open bot in-line ATS bag clamps prior to opening patient tube
clamp to bring ATS bag pressure to proper vacuum level. Open t e
patient tube clamp after bot ATS bag clamps ave been opened.
All clamps must remain fully open at all times w en ATS bag is
connected to patient. Patient tube and ATS bag s ould be free of
dependent loops to ensure maximum drainage efficiency. Do not
leave patient t be slide clamp closed after in-line ATS bag
attachment to patient.

n ATS Bag Reinfusion Set Up And
Pri ing
A microemboli blood filter and I.V. blood set are required for unwashed
blood reinfusion. Ca tion: A new microemboli blood filter m st be
sed for each new ATS bag. Priming of t e blood filter and I.V. set is
accomplis ed by t e following steps:
1. Prime I.V. blood administration set and microemboli blood filter wit
sterile saline.
2. After c est drain disconnection, invert in-line ATS bag wit spike port
pointing upward and remove tet ered cap using sterile tec nique.
Insert saline filter spike into ATS bag spike port using a firm twisting
motion. Return ATS bag to uprig t position and place on standard
eig t I.V. pole.
3. Open filtered air vent located on top of ATS bag first, t en open t e
I.V. clamp to complete priming. All remaining air wit in t e I.V. circuit
must be evacuated prior to patient connection. Close I.V. clamp w en
fully primed. I.V. is now ready for patient connection. Ca tion: Fail-
re to p rge all air from the entire I.V. circ it prior to patient con-
nection can res lt in air emboli.
n ATS Bag Reinfusion
Follow all ospital protocols for administering autologous w ole blood
reinfusion for bot gravity drip or pressure infuser application:
1. Attac distal end of fully primed I.V. set to patient and open I.V. line
clamp to begin patient infusion.
2. For non-pressure infusion, open filtered air vent for maximum flow
rate.
3. For pressure infuser application, filtered air vent must remain closed.
Maximum in-line bag infuser pressure is 150mmHg. Ca tion: Do
not reinf se entire blood contents completely thro gh blood filter
and I.V. set, as air emboli can res lt.
Ca tion: Anticoag lant therapy and dosage recommen dations are
the discretion of a physician and sho ld be monitored caref lly d r-
ing and after patient reinf sion.

Reading And Recording Blood Volu e
T e in-line ATS bag deflects slig tly under vacuum and is t erefore
calibrated on one side under vacuum pressure. T e opposite side is
calibrated for non-vacuum conditions. All fluid level calibrations are
in 25ml increments, up to a maximum collection volume of 600ml.
All ml increments are approximate.
Step 4: To Disconnect In-Line ATS Bag Fro Chest Drain
To remove in-line ATS bag from t e c est drain, securely close
patient tube clamp and bot ATS bag clamps. Dis con nect “c est
drain” side first, t en disconnect t e “patient side” connector. Imme-
diately place t e male patient tube con nector into t e female c est
drain connector, and open patient tube clamp. Reconnect ATS bag
connectors to eac ot er. ATS bag is now ready to be andled for
reinfusion use.
Ca tion: Open patient t be slide clamp immediately following
recon nec tion to chest drain or new in-line ATS bag. Do not keep
patient t be clamp closed d ring chest drain age or patient transit.
