Description

Haemonetics OrthoPAT System-Integrated Set. Product Code: 1150H-00 OrthoPAT orthopedic perioperative autotransfusion system indicated for use to salvage RBCs from blood lost intraoperatively and postoperatively during surgical procedures

Reason

OrthoPAT reservoirs are missing the cannula inside the reservoirs. The absence of this cannula prevents the emptying of blood from the reservoirs. The inability to empty the reservoir means that the collected blood cannot be processed.
