Instructions for Use
1. Ensure DonorCare® Needle Guard (DCNG) is positioned on the tubing between the needle hub and Pinch Clamp. Engage Pinch Clamp. Ensure tethered cap is placed securely on the air vent.
2. Using aseptic technique, insert needle into umbilical vein, disengage Pinch Clamp to collect cord blood, mixing frequently, according to standard procedures.
3. Upon completion of collection, engage Pinch Clamp then withdraw needle from umbilical vein. Slide the DCNG midway over the needle hub. While holding the sides of DCNG near front, grasp tubing and pull smoothly, pulling needle into the DCNG until it locks into place. Confirm that needle is locked by listening for the second click as the needle is drawn into the DCNG. Ensure that tubing cannot be pulled through DCNG.
4. Place the bag on a work surface. While holding the tubing above the bag, open the tethered cap on the air vent. Allow the blood to drain from the tubing into the bag.
5. When the tubing has been drained, hold tubing vertical and seal tubing directly below the Y-piece with air vent.
6. Detach and discard needle, DCNG, Pinch Clamp, Air Vent and tubing according to standard procedures.
7. Determine amount of anticoagulated blood collected. If required, add sedimenting agent to CPD anticoagulated blood through Sample Port using a syringe according to standard procedures.
8. Mix well. Take care to strip and mix any blood in tubing.
9. Load bag into centrifuge cup. It is suggested that a means of support is used to prevent bag from collapsing and to reduce wrinkles.
10. Centrifuge according to standard procedures to obtain mononuclear cell-rich plasma.
