ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for collecting and storing umbilical blood in a system that allows for the closed aliquoting of small blood volumes for autologous transfusion in neonates. The method involves locating a venous access site on an umbilical cord of the placenta of a neonate. A vacuum pressure is applied to a blood collection bag to facilitate removal of an amount of blood from the umbilical cord. The blood may then be stored in the collection bag and used for subsequent autologous neonate blood transfusion.
