ABSTRACT:
A transfer bag apparatus is disclosed which is adapted to be used in the autologous transfusion of blood to a patient by collecting the blood from the collection bottle of a drainage device for the chest cavity of the patient. The transfer bag comprises a flexible bag, having means at one end of the bag to be placed in fluid communication with an infusion set to transfuse the patient with blood, and means at the other end of the bag adapted to be placed in fluid-tight communication with the interior of the collection bottle to transfer blood to the interior of the blood bag. The method of autologously transfusing a patient by means of the present invention involves collecting blood in the collection bottle, placing the transfer bag assembly in communication with the blood in the collection bottle, transferring the collected blood from the collection bottle to the transfer bag, and allowing the blood collected in the transfer bag to be infused into the patient.
