This technique offers Perfusionists a new role in optimizing hemostasis and homeostasis hours after the termination of surgery. Saving More Blood, Reducing Costs, and Improving Patient Outcomes. The Hemobag is the next logical step in Perfusion evolution for saving the plasma as well as the RBC's in Autotransfusion.

Abbott Point of Care and the i-STAT® system are at the forefront of expanding the possibilities with the industry’s most comprehensive panel of bedside tests on a single point of care platform. With single-use cartridges, healthcare professionals can perform a variety of tests at the patient’s bedside. Using the advanced principles of microfluidics, the i-STAT cartridge is completely self-contained and is designed to optimize result integrity for patient testing. To perform a test, two drops of blood are applied to the cartridge, which is then inserted into the handheld reader. Results are reported in just minutes. Capable of performing advanced diagnostics, i-STAT cartridges are available for a number of tests used in critical patient decisions, including blood gases, electrolytes, chemistries, coagulation, hematology and cardiac markers.
