Medtronic has been a key participant in the area of blood component
therapies for more than a decade. Previous Medtronic autotransfusion systems allowed clinicians to implement applications
for concentrated platelets, as well as to determine requirements for a new, dedicated system for producing platelet-rich
plasma (PRP) for a small amount of autologous blood. We continue to promote blood conservation and autologous
platelet component therapies, and take this research and development to the next level with the new Magellan®
Autologous Platelet Separator System.
Superior Performance
Magellan® System provides consistent platelet concentration.
Consistently reproducible results are independent of operator and patient variability.
Closed system, start-to-finish, reduces operator error and minimizes
contamination.
Built-In Efficiency
Small, portable platelet separator-ideal for use in a variety of clinical settings.
Variable input (whole blood) and output (PRP) allow clinicians
to customize volume requirements to meet specific clinical needs.
Requires
a small amount of blood.
Cost Effective
Magellan® System has the potential to replace more expensive technologies
at a lower cost.
Up to three cycles can be conducted with the
same patient-eliminating the cost of additional separation disposables.
Ease of use reduces training time and expenditure.
Ease of Use
Intuitive user interface reduces
training time and related expenditures.
autoLogTM
Autotransfusion System
Exceptionally Effective
The autoLogTM Autotransfusion System processes blood collected from a surgical
site to produce washed red blood cells for return to a patient at a later time. This is achieved with only one kit and one
program. An innovative bowl design, coupled with sophisticated software, provides an effective combination for autotransfusion
procedures.
2-stage filling cycle:
Initial stage - first FILL at 600 ml/min. - Pump momentarily stops at initial
detection of red cells.
Final stage - Second FILL
at 250 ml/min initiated after red cells settle. - Red cells packed as tightly as possible.
Variable-speed wash cycle
Level sensor monitors red cell pack
Software
controls pump "pulsations" of saline into the bowl. - Minimizes red cell spillage. - Only 250 ml of saline
required for effective washout of extraneous materials.
