ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for collecting, storing and providing multiple transfusions of blood in small quantities to premature infants from a single donor or a limited number of donors without wasting or discarding unused blood of such donor or donors, including a primary reservoir for collecting and storing a predetermined amount of blood from a donor, which amount is substantially less than is usually collected for adult transfusions. The apparatus is provided with a plurality of sterile, deformable satellite administering reservoirs for receiving blood from the primary reservoir in an amount corresponding to the need of the premature child. Each of the satellite reservoirs is provided with graduations thereon so that the amount of blood required by the premature infant can be collected and measured therein for subsequent transfusion to the infant. A method of providing a prolonged, continuous supply of blood for infusion to a premature infant from a single donor or a restricted number of donors is also disclosed. A first predetermined quantity of blood is collected from the donor and is stored in a sterile primary reservoir. A second and subsequent predetermined amounts of blood, corresponding to the infusion needs of the infant are withdrawn from the sterile primary reservoir into an isolated secondary reservoir without adversely affecting the remainder of the blood in the primary reservoir. The blood from the secondary reservoirs is then administered to the infant.
