ErySep multiplies in use of Umbilical Cord Blood by separating it to the components; Red Blood Cells and Plasma. Hence, the components of Umbilical Cord Blood are ready for transfusion premature infants or babies, who need blood transfusion.
Umbilical cord blood ( UCB ) remains in the placenta and blood vessels of the umbilical cord after it is taken from the newborn baby. ErySep adds value to UCB by separating it to RBC and Plasma components gently.
Henceforth, Transfusion medicine will have baby blood components, when Pre-term or Term Newborns need blood transfusion during their treatment periods.
65% of all premature neonates with a birth weight less than 1,500 gram receive at least one RBC transfusion during their first weeks of life.
No technical systems necessary
Make use of UCB for Allogeneic or Autologous Blood Transfusion to premature infants or babies, who need blood transfusion.
The target groups of neonates who are infants with a birth weight between 1,000 and 2,000 gram and neonates requiring surgical intervention directly after birth.
Features
After collection of UCB into single blood bag with conventional method, it is connected to ErySep system for separating the UCB into components by gravity induced.
Separation unit has membrane filters, which segregates the blood components through the relevant component bags on the system.
Erythrocyte Bag consists of SAGM solution, which preserves RBC up to 42 days.
Plasma Bags are empty and ready to Fresh Frozen Plasma.
No technical systems necessary
No cost for centrifuges.
No cost for plasma extractors.
No cost for technical service.
No cost for clean room.
No electricity required.
In about 80 minutes
Blood components in accordance with the guide to the preparation, use and quality assurance of blood components, Council of Europe publishing, 15th edition, recommendation No R (95) 15.
