System Overview
CDI Hematocrit/Saturation CuvetteCDI Hematocrit/Saturation Cuvette
The CDI H/S Cuvette is a ow-through device inserted directly into the extracorporeal
circuit. The CDI H/S Cuvette is for a single use only. It is supplied sterile and individually
packaged for incorporation into the circuit at the time of use, or it can be supplied non-
sterile to tubing pack manufacturers for preconnection.
The CDI H/S Cuvette contains an optical window that provides a means of consistent
optical connection between the CDI H/S Probe and the CDI H/S Cuvette. A magnet
placed in the CDI H/S Cuvette provides verication of a correct connection between
the CDI H/S Probe and the CDI H/S Cuvette.
Note: When the CDI H/S Cuvette is inserted into the circuit, the optical window should
be pointing down. This minimizes interference from intermittent air bubbles in the line.
Warning
Aseptic technique must be used when adding the CDI H/S Cuvette
to the circuit. End caps are provided on the sterile assemblies
at each end of the cuvette to protect the blood pathway from
contamination prior to insertion into the circuit. The CDI H/S
Cuvette remains sterile so long as the package is unopened and
undamaged. Each CDI H/S Cuvette has a recommended shelf
life indicated by the lot number expiration date printed on each
package. For additional information, refer to the CDI H/S Cuvette
instructions for use.
