Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the importance of dedicated autoregulating suction systems for intraoperative autotransfusion, highlighting the limitations of traditional wall suction methods. It emphasizes the need for controlled suction to protect red blood cells (RBCs) during the process.

Specifications and Recommendations
The American Association of Blood Banks recommends using dedicated suction with a maximum vacuum force of 150–200 mmHg to protect RBCs during autotransfusion. Studies indicate that higher suction pressures and the presence of air increase hemolysis, which is detrimental to RBC viability.

SmartSuction Harmony® Technology
The SmartSuction Harmony® system is introduced as a solution to the limitations of wall suction. It is a portable vacuum source designed for use with Haemonetics’ Cell Saver® and OrthoPAT® Autotransfusion Systems. The system features:
  • Automatic adjustment of suction force when air is detected.
  • Maximum suction force set at 150 mmHg to protect RBCs.
  • Consistent and reliable suction performance.
  • Rapid clearing of the visual field.
Lab tests have shown that this technology significantly reduces hemolysis, potentially increasing the number of viable RBCs reinfused to patients.

Technical Information
The document provides detailed technical specifications for the SmartSuction Harmony device, including dimensions, weight, flow rates, operating vacuum, maximum pressure, voltage, and certifications.

Ordering Information
Details are provided for ordering the SmartSuction Harmony device and related accessories, including list numbers and quantities per case.

Conclusion
The SmartSuction Harmony system is presented as an essential tool for blood management, helping to avoid unnecessary allogeneic transfusions by maintaining RBC viability and providing reliable suction performance.

Suction isn't top-of-mind What percentage of RBCs lyse when you're suctioning blood for reinfusion? Do you reduce suction levels or do you modify technique to protect RBCs when Vacuum Pressure Gregoretti et al showed that hemolysis is associated with higher suction forces. Hemolysis is even greater when air mixes with blood. Chances are you don't give suction a lot of thought. Not because it couldn't be better, but because wall suction is all you've ever known. The American Association of Blood Banks recommends using dedicated suction with a maximum vacuum force of 150-200 mmHg. Maintaining suction...
