Blood bag systems are the foundation for worldwide blood supply by “classical” blood donation. More than 90 percent of all blood donations are processed in these systems that consist of up to six different bags with variable functions.
A combination of bags with venous cannulae and integrated needle protection, pre-donation sampling pouches and different filtration devices form the basis for highly professional whole blood collection systems. They allow producing different blood component preparations according to national and international standards. Blood donation and processing with these systems is supplemented by other devices such as automated scales and blood separators, sterile docking systems and sealers to name a few.
