Sampling Site Coupler
The sampling site coupler is a crucial device used in sterile environments to aseptically extract samples from red cell bags. It plays a pivotal role, especially in blood processing procedures.
Specifically designed for blood component bags, this advanced coupler consists of two ports that can be readily accessed by removing the plastic covering.
To ensure the highest level of sterility, proper aseptic technique must be followed during the sampling process.
When using the tube coupler, it is essential to insert it into the opened ports using a rotating motion while maintaining a sterile environment. This rotational movement helps to create a secure and reliable connection between the coupler and the plasma bag.
Once the coupler is successfully connected, sterile needles can be safely inserted into the rubber septum. Needles are used to obtain samples in a completely sterile manner. This process ensures that the quality and purity of the sample are held throughout the process.
The sampling site coupler is manufactured by Fenwal, a company known for producing quality medical lab devices. This ensures not only the effectiveness of the coupler in sampling procedures but also its compliance with strong safety and quality standards.
