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 a primary blood reservoir (e.g., the collection chamber of a drainage device for the chest cavity of the patient or a cardiotomy reservoir). The transfer bag comprises a flexible bag, having means on one part of the bag to be placed in fluid-tight communication with an infusion set to transfuse the patient with blood, and spike means on another part of the bag adapted to be placed in fluid-tight communication with the interior of the primary blood reservoir 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 from the patient in the primary blood reservoir, placing the transfer bag assembly in communication with the blood contained in the reservoir by means of the spike inlet means, transferring the collected blood from the reservoir to the transfer bag, and allowing the blood collected in the transfer bag to be infused into the patient.
