Atrium’s locking “auto-connect”in-line tubing connectors provide rapid conversion from collectionmode to reinfusion mode in seconds.Once separated, remove cap from female ATS bag connector andinsert male patient tube connector. Remove second ATS bag cap andinsert male ATS bagconnector into female chest drain connector. InlineATS bag is now connected to chest drain and patient.Attach ATS bagto chest drainAttachpatienttube toATS bagStep 1: Placement Onto Chest Drain Or Bed RailAtrium’s advanced hanger design provides quick and easy positioningdirectly onto the front face of the chest drain or adjacentbed rail as shown. For added security during patient transit, thehanger can be placed over the chest drain handle.

Open thepatient tube clamp after both ATS bag clamps have been opened.All clamps must remain fully open at all times when ATS bag isconnected to patient. Patient tube and ATS bag should be free ofdependent loops to ensure maximum drainage efficiency. Do notleave patient tube slide clamp closed after in-line ATS bagattachment to patient.© Atrium Medical Corporation 2012. All Rights Reserved Printed in U.S.A.

Reading And Recording Blood VolumeThe in-line ATS bag deflects slightly under vacuum and is thereforecalibrated on one side under vacuum pressure. The opposite side iscalibrated for non-vacuum conditions. All fluid level calibrations arein 25ml increments, up to a maximum collection volume of 600ml.All ml increments are approximate.Step 4: To Disconnect In-Line ATS Bag From Chest DrainTo remove in-line ATS bag from the chest drain, securely closepatient tube clamp and both ATS bag clamps. Dis con nect “chestdrain” side first, then disconnect the “patient side” connector. Immediatelyplace the male patient tube con nector into the female chestdrain connector, and open patient tube clamp. Reconnect ATS bagconnectors to each other. ATS bag is now ready to be handled forreinfusion use.Caution: Open patient tube slide clamp immediately followingrecon nec tion to chest drain or new in-line ATS bag. Do not keeppatient tube clamp closed during chest drain age or patient transit.Reconnect ATS bagconnectors toeach otherOpen patienttube clampafterreconnectionto chest drainKeepATS bagclampsclosed■ ATS Bag Reinfusion Set Up AndPrimingA microemboli blood filter and I.V. blood set are required for unwashedblood reinfusion. Caution: A new microemboli blood filter must beused for each new ATS bag. Priming of the blood filter and I.V. set isaccomplished by the following steps:1. Prime I.V. blood administration set and microemboli blood filter withsterile saline.2. After chest drain disconnection, invert in-line ATS bag with spike portpointing upward and remove tethered cap using sterile technique.Insert saline filter spike into ATS bag spike port using a firm twistingmotion. Return ATS bag to upright position and place on standardheight I.V. pole.3. Open filtered air vent located on top of ATS bag first, then open theI.V. clamp to complete priming. All remaining air within the I.V. circuitmust be evacuated prior to patient connection. Close I.V. clamp whenfully primed. I.V. is now ready for patient connection. Caution: Failureto purge all air from the entire I.V. circuit prior to patient connectioncan result in air emboli.■ ATS Bag ReinfusionFollow all hospital protocols for administering autologous whole bloodreinfusion for both gravity drip or pressure infuser application:1. Attach distal end of fully primed I.V. set to patient and open I.V. lineclamp to begin patient infusion.2. For non-pressure infusion, open filtered air vent for maximum flowrate.3. For pressure infuser application, filtered air vent must remain closed.Maximum in-line bag infuser pressure is 150mmHg. Caution: Donot reinfuse entire blood contents completely through blood filterand I.V. set, as air emboli can result.Caution: Anticoagulant therapy and dosage recommen dations arethe discretion of a physician and should be monitored carefully duringand after patient reinfusion.Have a question or need help in a hurry?Call Atrium toll free at 1-800-528-7486.Visit us on the web at:www.atriummed.com
