operation.
The device must be used in accordance with the instructions for use
provided in this manual.
The device is intended to be used by professionally trained personnel.

37°C (98.6°F).
Keep dry. Store at room temperature.
Always apply and maintain a correct dose and accurate monitoring of the
anticoagulant.
For single use and for single patient use only: during use the device is in
contact with human blood, body fluids, liquids or gases for the purpose of
eventual infusion, administration or introduction into the body and due to
4
its specific design it cannot be fully cleaned and disinfected at the end of
use. Therefore the reuse on other patients might cause cross-
contamination, infection and sepsis. In addition, the reuse increases the
probability of product failure (integrity, functionality and clinical
effectiveness).
The device must not undergo any further processing.
Do not resterilize.
After use, dispose of the device in accordance with applicable regulations
in force in the country of use.
The device must only be used if STERILE.
The device contains phthalates. Considering the nature of body contact,
the limited contact duration and the number of treatments per each patient;
the amount of phthalates which might be released from the device do not
raise specific concerns about residual risks. Further information is
available on request from Sorin Group Italia.
For further information and/or in case of complaint contact SORIN GROUP
ITALIA or the authorized local representative.

Sterility is guaranteed only if the sterile packaging is not wet, opened,
damaged or broken. Do not use the device if sterility cannot be guaranteed.
Check the expiry date on the label attached. Do not use the device after the
date shown.
The device must be used immediately after opening the sterile packaging.
The device must be handled aseptically.
Carry out a visual inspection and carefully check the device before use.
Transport and/or storage conditions other than those prescribed may have
caused damage to the device.
Do not use solvents such as alcohol, ether, acetone, etc. to prevent
damage to the device.
Make the connections using a suitable aseptic technique.
Due to the possibility of operator exposure to bloodborne pathogens (such
as HIV, hepatitis viruses, bacteria, Cytomegalovirus, etc.) when handling
extracorporeal blood circuits, adequate precautions should be taken at all
times to prevent the exposure to and transmission of such agents.
Carefully observe this set for leaks before and during use. Leakage may
result in loss of sterility or loss of blood and/or fluid. If leakage is observed
before or during use, replace leaking component or retighten leaking
connection, as appropriate.
Set up of the XRES Blood Collection Reservoir
The setup of the Blood Collection Reservoir can be performed inserting it into the
integrated holder.
1.
Remove the reservoir from its package.
2.
Keep the locking clip on the reservoir holder open, slide the edge of the reservoir
lid into the slot of the holder and push the reservoir into position. Release the
locking clip.
3.
Tighten all the caps and luer locks on the reservoir lid. In case you are using a
Blood Collection Reservoir BOTTOM, close the clamp on the bottom outlet port.
Before use, check that the blood collection reservoir is completely inserted
in its housing on the holder. In the event of incorrect installation, any
accidental knocks against the reservoir might cause it to detach from the
holder
Set up of the AAL Aspiration and Anticoagulation Line
1.
Raise the IV pole completely.
2.
Prepare a bag or bottle of anticoagulant solution containing heparin, ACD-A or
CPDA-1. If heparin is used, mix 30.000-60.000 I.U. of heparin per litre of sterile
(injectable) isotonic saline to guarantee sufficient anticoagulation of recovered
blood.
3.
Remove the aspiration and anticoagulation line from its package and carefully
open the outer wrap.
4.
Pass the inner sterile wrapped assembly to the sterile field.
