Description

A platelet agitator is an essential piece of equipment used in medical facilities, blood banks, and research laboratories for storing platelets at a controlled temperature and constant agitation. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the viability and quality of platelets, which are vital components in blood clotting and transfusion procedures.

Platelet Agitator IAP-48 is a specialized medical device designed for the continuous agitation and storage of platelet concentrates. It is commonly used in blood banks and clinical laboratories to maintain the viability and functionality of platelets by providing a controlled and consistent agitation.

Key Features:

Capacity:

  • Can accommodate up to 48 platelet bags, depending on the configuration and size of the bags.

Agitation Mechanism:

  • Provides gentle, uniform, and continuous agitation to prevent platelet aggregation and maintain optimal platelet function.
  • Typically uses a horizontal shaking motion to ensure even distribution and prevent sedimentation.

Temperature Control:

  • Often paired with a temperature-controlled chamber to maintain the platelets at the recommended storage temperature (usually around 22°C ±2°C).
  • Some models may have integrated temperature control systems.

Construction:

  • Made from durable materials such as stainless steel and high-quality plastics to ensure longevity and ease of cleaning.
  • Transparent doors or panels for easy visibility of the platelet bags.

User Interface:

  • Equipped with digital controls and display panels for easy monitoring and adjustment of agitation speed and duration.
  • Alarm systems for temperature deviations or agitation failures.

Safety Features:

  • Includes alarms for power failure, door ajar, and system malfunctions.
  • Emergency stop mechanisms and backup battery systems to ensure continuous operation in case of power outages.

Benefits:

  • Improved Platelet Quality: Ensures platelets remain viable and functional, crucial for transfusions.
  • Compliance: Meets standards and guidelines for platelet storage set by health authorities and regulatory bodies.
  • Efficiency: Reduces manual labor by automating the agitation process and providing continuous monitoring.

Applications:

  • Blood Banks: Essential for the storage and preservation of platelets before transfusion.
  • Hospitals: Used in transfusion services to maintain a ready supply of viable platelets.
  • Research Laboratories: For studies involving platelet function and preservation.

Key Features:

  • Precise Temperature Control : Our platelet agitators are designed to maintain a consistent temperature range, typically between 20-24 degrees Celsius. This optimal temperature ensures the preservation of platelets, preventing any potential damage caused by temperature fluctuations.
  • Gentle Agitation Mechanism : The agitator employs a gentle rocking motion, providing continuous and uniform mixing of platelets within the storage containers. This action helps prevent platelet aggregation and maintains their homogeneity, ensuring a consistent distribution of platelets during transfusions.
  • User-Friendly Interface : Our platelet agitators are equipped with an intuitive interface that allows easy programming and monitoring of temperature and agitation parameters. The user-friendly controls simplify operation and reduce the risk of errors during platelet storage.
  • Enhanced Contamination Control : Our agitators are designed with materials that resist corrosion and minimize contamination risks. The sealed storage compartments and smooth surfaces facilitate easy cleaning and disinfection, ensuring a sterile environment for platelet storage.
  • Alarm and Monitoring System : The agitator is equipped with an alarm system that alerts users to any deviations from the set temperature or agitation parameters. This feature ensures prompt response to any issues, reducing the risk of platelet spoilage and maintaining quality control.

Specifications:

  • Dimensions: Varies by manufacturer, typically compact to fit standard laboratory spaces.
  • Power Supply: Usually operates on standard AC power; specifications depend on regional standards (e.g., 110V or 220V).
  • Agitation Speed: Adjustable settings to cater to different storage requirements.
  • Weight: Lightweight for easy relocation, generally under 50 kg.

Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: Regular cleaning with appropriate disinfectants to maintain hygiene.
  • Calibration: Periodic calibration and servicing to ensure consistent performance.
  • Inspection: Routine checks for mechanical wear and tear and electronic functionality.
