EATSET Biotechnology Seminar/Transfusion Workshop (4)
-----------------------------------------------------

Dear Patricia,

The EATSET certainly is an improvement on the crude technique de-
scribed by you. The EATSET does not use wall pressure. It works on 
very low vacuum and so very little and no trauma is caused to the 
cellular component of blood. However, it is a closed system and to-
tally sterile. It is readily available and you do not have to spend 
time building up an improvised 'home made kit' requiring the use of 
bottles, sterile gauze, steel bowl and glass funnels, all of which 
provide exposed surfaces for collection and filtering unlike the 
EATSET which is a totally closed system. The EATSET however does not 
require further anticoagulation in cases described except when bleed-
ing is fresh. We have also described a model for use in elective sur-
gery which requires anticoagulation.

Thanks,

Dr. O.O. Ovadje
