2550 In-line ATS Bag
n In-Line ATS Bag (2550)
Atrium’s 2550 in-line ATS bag is a compact postoperative ATS
collection device for use with Atrium chest drains equipped with
in-line patient tube connectors. Atrium’s locking “auto-connect”
in-line tubing connectors provide rapid conversion from collection
mode to reinfusion mode in seconds.
Step 1: Placement Onto Chest Drain Or Bed Rail
Atrium’s advanced hanger design provides quick and easy posi-
tioning directly onto the front face of the chest drain or adjacent
bed rail as shown. For added security during patient transit, the
hanger can be placed over the chest drain handle. Firmly close
both ATS bag clamps prior to connector cap removal.
Step 2: To Connect In-Line ATS Bag To Chest Drain
To begin, move the open patient tube clamp next to
the in-line connector for convenient system set up
and easy visual check. Close the patient tube slide
clamp firmly and separate by depressing connector
lock.
Once separated, remove cap from female ATS bag connector and
insert male patient tube connector. Remove second ATS bag cap and
insert male ATS bag connector into female chest drain connector. In-
line ATS bag is now connected to chest drain and patient.
Step 3: Open Clamps To Begin Blood Collection
Open both in-line ATS bag clamps prior to opening patient tube
clamp to bring ATS bag pressure to proper vacuum level. Open the
patient tube clamp after both ATS bag clamps have been opened.
All clamps must remain fully open at all times when ATS bag is
connected to patient. Patient tube and ATS bag should be free of
dependent loops to ensure maximum drainage efficiency. Do not
leave patient tube slide clamp closed after in-line ATS bag
attachment to patient.
