INTEGRATED MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR USE WITH SURGICAL FLUID SALVAGE CONTAINERS

摘要

A reservoir for use with a blood collection system includes a housing, a pre-f?lter, and a spring mechanism. The housing defines a cavity and has an inlet for receiving fluid from a source. The pre-f?lter is located within the cavity, removes particulates contained within the fluid, and allows the fluid to pass through the pre-f?lter. The spring mechanism is connected to the pre-f?lter and allows the pre-f?lter to travel within the cavity as the pre-f?lter collects particulates.
