Autotransfusion system blood collection container

An autotransfusion system blood collection container is a sterile, single-use device designed to collect and temporarily store blood drawn directly from a patient during surgical procedures. These containers are part of an autotransfusion system, allowing surgeons to reinfuse the patient’s own blood—reducing the need for external transfusions and minimizing risks like allergic reactions or infections.

These devices are typically regulated as single-use medical devices, often requiring compliance with standards for blood collection and sterile processing. They are supplied as standalone components, intended for use with compatible autotransfusion pumps and tubing sets, and are classified based on their role in patient blood management rather than general surgical tools.
