CATSmart

At the heart of CATSmart is our proprietary continuous-flow  technology. Unlike bowl-based systems, its one-size-fits-all kit multi-tasks all process steps. Coupled with situation-specific wash programs, an Auto-Start function, and a PRC pump sensor, you can set up fast and be certain PRC is available when your patient needs it. The device has a lockable cover for full syringe protection and a password protected keypad ensuring safe medication delivery.

Wash Programs and Auto-Start
CATSmart’s four wash programs — Smart, Low Volume, Flex, and Emergency — simplify your set-up and in-process changes.

Continuous Processing
CATSmart continuously pushes shed blood through the spiral channel of the washing chamber and simultaneously separates, washes, and packs red cells. The PRC sensor monitors the RBC interface and auto-adjusts pump flow rates, for optimal results, every time.

AT3 Kit
CATSmart’s AT3 kit simplifies inventory, decision-making, and set up. The single-sized washing chamber can process any volume of shed blood — an easy choice for every patient or procedure. And with all components pre-connected, including the haematocrit sensor, installation is equally easy.

PRC Sensor
CATSmart’s PRC sensor directs the system to start pumping to the reinfusion bag when PRC volume in the washing chamber registers at as little as 30 mL. Once in the bag, PRC can be accessed for patient use, immediately or whenever required, by pausing the system.

Three specific washing programs:
Smart Wash

Smart Wash ensures optimal balance between PRC output rate 20 – 40 mL/min and excellent wash out performance. Standard program that is recommended for the majority of surgical cases.

Low volume Wash

Low volume Wash is specially designed for pediatrics to process even small shed blood volumes of
< 40 mL, with fast PRC output rate of 25 mL/min and excellent wash out performance.

Emergency Wash

Emergency Wash is the fastest cell salvage process of up to 100 mL/min RBC output rate, for quick access to washed PRC under emergency condition.​

Technical service is an essential component of the Fresenius Kabi MedTech division. At our head office in Runcorn, we have a purpose built, modern and dedicated repair centre which is able to support the growing demand for our devices.
