2.4.      Temporarily clamp donor tubing.

2.5.      Suspend the collection bag as far as possible below the donor's arm.

2.6.      Apply blood pressure cuff or tourniquet to donor's arm. Disinfect site of phlebotomy according to institutional standard operating procedures. If blood pressure cuff is used, inflate to approximately 60 mmHg.

2.7.      Remove the needle cover and perform phlebotomy.

    2.7.1.   CAUTION:   Do not touch the needle after removing the needle cover.

2.8.      Remove the temporary clamp on the donor tubing to permit blood flow into the collection bag.

2.12.1. CAUTION: Do not use a dielectric tube sealer to seal the tubing while the needle is connected to the donor's body unless it is approved for such a purpose.

2.13.   Reapply clamp to donor tubing; release pressure on donor's arm and remove needle. If using a needle safety device, follow manufacturer's instructions.

2.13.1.  CAUTION: Discard phlebotomy needle/donor tubing according to institutional standard operating procedures.

2.14.   Immediately after collection, invert collection bag several times to assure blood and anticoagulant are well mixed.

2.15.   Strip blood from donor tubing into collection bag, mix well, and allow tubing to refill; repeat once. To prevent the blood from clotting in the tubing, work quickly as possible. Make an appropriate number of segments of anticoagulated blood for testing by sealing on or near the X marks. Leave segments attached to Whole Blood unit.

2.16.   Store CPDA-1 Whole Blood (or Red Blood Cells) between 1 – 6 ° C for up to 35 days.

2.17.   For further preparation and processing of other components, use standard processing and storage techniques following approved regulations and standards.
