Fresenius C.A.T.S Continuous AutoTransfusion System

The Fresenius C.A.T.S (Continuous AutoTransfusion System) is a cornerstone technology in the field of intraoperative blood salvage. Esteemed for its reliability and efficiency, this system is designed to recover a patient's own blood shed during surgery, process it, and make it available for reinfusion, thereby reducing the need for allogeneic blood transfusions.

Its continuous processing method distinguishes it from many batch-processing systems, allowing for a rapid and uninterrupted supply of washed red blood cells. This capability is particularly crucial in high-blood-loss procedures common in cardiac, orthopedic, vascular, and trauma surgery.

Key details for this specific unit include:

• Model: C.A.T.S (Continuous AutoTransfusion System)
• Software Version: 2.07
• Total Operating Hours: 164

For clinical teams, the C.A.T.S system is known for its user-friendly interface and automated processes. For procurement managers, it represents a durable investment in patient safety and resource management, helping to manage blood bank inventories and reduce transfusion-related costs and complications.
