A blood-collection system configured to permit selection of either collection and disposal of shed blood from a patient or collection and processing of shed blood for autologous transfusion back to the patient includes an automated blood-processing machine. The system may also include a blood-collection reservoir, a separation chamber, and a fluid conduit. The blood-collection reservoir may be engageable with the blood-processing machine so that the machine can identify and report the presence of blood in the reservoir. The separation chamber may also be engageable with the blood processing machine. The fluid conduit may be configured to selectively join the reservoir to the separation chamber by a quick-connect coupling. |
