HEMAsavR™ recognize, quantify, respond
Use it or Lose it!

Tired of worrying about blood shortages?
It is time to take control of the situation with HEMAsavR™.
Twelve months ago the Society for the Advancement of Patient Blood Management issued the following statement:
“Blood supply is dwindling as donors stay away and existing blood expires. Calls from blood centers for more blood donors will not alleviate this problem and unless we open ourselves to better solutions we are bound for disaster.”
- Society for the Advancement of Patient Blood Management
Fast forward to today:
How can we help you reduce allogeneic blood transfusions and improve patient care?
Every surgical procedure has the potential for blood loss, yet little effort is made to collect viable blood shed during surgery due to various factors including predicting who will bleed, cost of reservoirs, or need for specialized resources.
Collect More
• Shed blood is a significant source of RBCs
• Leverage existing protocols and workflow for blood salvage
• Closed, sterile system compatible with surgical suction & autotransfusion systems
Save More
• Designed to reduce allogeneic transfusions which are among the costliest contributors to healthcare expenditures
• Seamless integration. Collection does not require specialized resources
Improved Outcomes
• By avoiding allogeneic tranfusion-related adverse events2:
– Decrease patient mortality
– Lower incidence of nosocomial infections
– Reduce risk of multi-organ failures
– Decrease length of hospital and ICU stays

Improved Outcomes
HEMAsavR™ a new option for blood management programs
The HEMAsavR™ device is a sterile, economical blood capture and transfer device that supports efforts to collect and salvage blood in most surgical procedures and respond quickly to unanticipated blood loss. The HEMAsavR™ decreases the upfront cost of collecting shed blood and creates options to improve outcomes and avoid allogeneic transfusions.
