Blood Sampling System To prevent blood from backing up in line remember to: • • • • Ensure all connections in line are tightened. Ensure SafeSet reservoir is in the LOCKED position. Pressurize IV container per hospital protocol. Change vented (white) caps to non-vented (yellow) caps. To prevent air bubbles in line remember to: • Ensure SafeSet reservoir tip is pointed up (one-way stopcock on top) with plunger pulled back to 3 mL when priming. • Tap reservoir and transducer to ensure that all air bubbles have been eliminated when priming. • Invert and tap blood sampling ports to remove air bubbles when priming. • raw back SLOWLY no faster than 1 mL per second on reservoir when drawing D clearing volume. • einfuse the patient’s blood slowly, no faster than 1 mL per second, by R pressing the plunger back to the closed and locked position. When using a blood tube holder for blood sampling: • Once blood sample has been obtained, turn one-way stopcock between sampling port and patient to the “off” or perpendicular position. • ext, completely remove blood collection tube from Blood Tube Holder BEFORE N disconnecting from sampling port. • isconnect Blood Tube Holder and blunt sampling device TOGETHER from D sampling port. • urn one-way stopcock between port and patient to the “on” position and flush T line. When using a syringe for blood sampling: • Once the blood sample has been obtained, and prior to removing syringe from sampling port, turn one-way stopcock between sampling port and patient to the “off” or perpendicular position. • Next, disconnect syringe and blunt sampling device TOGETHER (or single syringe if using luer activated device (LAD) kit) from sampling port while slightly pulling back on syringe plunger. • urn one-way stopcock between port and patient to the “on” pos

To set up TransPac® IV with SafeSet: • Check all connections for tightness. • Pull SafeSet reservoir plunger tip back 2-3 mL from the closed and locked position. • Spike the fluid source and insert the IV solution bag into the pressure administration cuff and hang it from the IV pole. (ICU Medical recommends that the system is primed using only gravity pressure.) • Remove the white vented cover from the stopcock next to the transducer, activate the flush device (squeeze or pigtail), and fill the line slowly through the transducer and out the side port (zeroing port) of the stopcock closest to the...
