Artist Proof: 01-15-10 Clotalyst Autologous Serum Collection System
Clotalyst Autologous Serum The kit is designed for the preparation of autologous serum that is to be mixed with PRP and autograft or allograft for bone graft handling prior to application to an orthopedic surgical site. The Clotalyst Autologous Serum Collection System produces approximately 6ml of autologous serum from only 12ml of patients own citrated blood. The serum output can be mixed with platelet rich plasma (PRP) produced by the GPS III system.
Clotalyst Autologous Serum Platelet gel derived from the GPS III System in combination with Clotalyst Autologous Serum The Clotalyst Kit includes GPS III disposable and all components necessary to produce PRP. The Clotalyst System is designed to clot PRP in less than 15 seconds. The kit produces 6ml of PRP and 6ml of Clotalyst autologous serum.
Preparation of the Clotalyst Autologous Serum Step 1: Draw Draw 12ml of citrated blood in a 12ml syringe (1ml of anticoagulant (ACD-A) and 11ml of blood). Gently mix the whole blood and anticoagulant upon collection to prevent coagulation. Step 2: Load Remove Clotalyst reagent syringe from sterile pouch and attach plunger. Note: Leave grey stopper on opposite end of reagent syringe when attaching plunger. Remove grey stopper on reagent syringe. Unscrew blue cap on port No. 2 of disposable and attach reagent syringe. While holding the Clotalyst disposable vertically, inject all of reagent. Remove the reagent syringe from the disposable. Remove protective cover on white cap and discard. Screw the white cap onto port No. 2.
Technique (continued) Step 2: Load (continued) Unscrew red cap on port No. 3 and attach syringe containing 12ml of citrated blood. While holding disposable vertically, inject all blood. Remove the empty syringe. Remove protective cover on the white cap and discard. Screw white cap onto port No. 3.
Technique (continued) Step 3: Incubate Gently mix by inverting disposable at least 12 times (without producing foam). Preheat Clotalyst heater 10 minutes prior to use. Place disposable into Clotalyst heater. The glass beads inside the disposable should be distributed evenly when it is placed into the heater. Press the incubation button to start cycle. When the incubation cycle is complete (25 minutes), the heater will beep four times. Step 4: Spin Preparation At the end of the 25-minute incubation period, shake the Clotalyst disposable to dissolve any gel present.
Technique (continued) Step 4: Spin Preparation (Counter Balance) Place Clotalyst disposable in the centrifuge with the empty Clotalyst orange counterbalance (800-0760) in the opposite side of the centrifuge. Step 5: Spin Close centrifuge lid and set speed to 3200 RPMs and time to 5 minutes. Press green button to start centrifuge cycle. Once cycle is complete, press red button to open lid. Step 6: Autologous Serum Extraction Gently remove the disposable from the centrifuge without disturbing the stratified layers. Unscrew the yellow cap from the center port while holding the disposable vertically. Connect sterile 12ml syringe to the center port and slowly extract 5 to 6ml of autologous serum.
Technique (continued) Step 6: Autologous Serum Extraction (continued) To maximize harvest volume, the disposable may be tilted towards port No. 3 as autologous serum is extracted. Step 7: Storage Store Clotalyst autologous serum at 18 26 C (64 78ºF) for up to 4 hours prior to use. Discard remaining serum if not used within the provided time frames.

Place filled counterbalance directly opposite from the GPS III Mini Separator in the centrifuge. 4. SPIN: Close centrifuge lid. Set RPM to 3.2 (x1000) and the time to 15 minutes. Press the start button. Once spin is complete, open the centrifuge and remove the GPS III Mini Separator. 5. EXTRACT PPP: Unscrew and save yellow cap on port #2. Connect 30ml syringe to port #2, invert GPS III Mini Separator, and extract platelet-poor plasma (PPP). Remove 30ml syringe from port #2, cap with a sterile syringe cap and set aside. Replace yellow cap on port #2. 6. SUSPEND PRP: Holding GPS III Mini Separator in the upright position, unscrew red cap on port #3. Attach sterile 10ml syringe to port #3. Extract 1ml of PRP into the 10ml syringe. Leave the syringe attached. Shake GPS III Mini Separator gently for 30 seconds. 7. EXTRACT PRP: Immediately after suspending the platelets, extract the remaining PRP into the attached 10ml syringe. Remove 10ml syringe form port #3 and cap with a sterile syringe cap. PROCEDURE TWO: Use the Clotalyst Separator to prepare the autologous serum (Figure 2) 1. TURN ON: The Clotalyst Heater to achieve the appropriate operating temperature 25 C (77 F). 2. DRAW: Draw 1ml ACD-A into a sterile 10ml syringe. Attach to the 18-gauge apheresis needle. Slowly draw 11ml of the patient s blood into the 10ml syringe primed with ACD-A. Gently, but thoroughly mix the whole blood and ACD-A upon collection to prevent coagulation. NOTE: The 10ml syringe provided has graduation markings to 12ml. 3. LOAD Clotalyst REAGENT: Ensure the Clotalyst Separator remains upright. Unscrew and discard blue cap on port #2, attach Clotalyst Reagent syringe and completely transfer contents (4 ml) through port #2. Remove and discard reagent syringe. Unscrew and discard protective inner piece from white cap tethered to port #2. Screw white cap onto port #2. NOTE: Dislodging duckbill valves attached to ports #2 and #3 of the Clotalyst Separator during steps 3 and 4 can occur. This is NOT detrimental to the procedure. 4. LOAD BLOOD: ENSURE BLOOD FROM ONLY ONE PATIENT IS PROCESSED Unscrew and discard red cap on port #3. Attach and slowly transfer contents of anticoagulated blood-filled syringe (1ml ACD-A mixed with 11ml of patient s whole blood) through port #3. Unscrew and discard protective inner piece from white cap tethered to port #3. Screw white cap onto port #3. 5. MIX: Without producing foam gently invert Clotalyst Separator 12 times to thoroughly mix the anticoagulated blood with the Clotalyst reagent and glass beads. 6. INCUBATE: Holding the Clotalyst Separator on its side ensures the glass beads are distributed evenly. Place the Clotalyst Separator in the heater and begin the incubation cycle (25 minutes at 25 C). 7. SHAKE: Remove Clotalyst Separator from the heater and shake vigorously for 5 second, thus dislodging and braking up any coagulum that may be present in the separator. Place the Clotalyst Separator in a Biomet Biologics centrifuge. 8. BALANCE: Place the orange Clotalyst counterbalance (800-0760) directly opposite from the Clotalyst Separator in the centrifuge. 9. SPIN: Close centrifuge lid. Set RPM to 3.2 (x 1,000) and the time to 5 minutes. Press the start button. Once the spin is completed, open the centrifuge. 10. EXTRACT SERUM: Gently remove the Clotalyst Separator without disturbing the stratified layers. Holding Clotalyst Separator upright unscrew and remove the yellow cap on center port #1. Attach a sterile 10ml syringe to center port # 1. To maximize serum volume output gently tilt Clotalyst Separator toward port #3 while slowly extracting 5-6ml serum Remove the 10ml syringe from center port #1 and attach sterile syringe cap NOTE: If the extraction tube becomes plugged prior to achieving 5-6ml of output, the Clotalyst Separator can be placed back in the centrifuge for one minute at 3200 RPMs to dislodge the clot, allowing the remaining serum to be extracted. 11. STORAGE: Store serum at 18-26 C (64.4-78.8 F) for up to 4 hours prior to use. Discard remaining serum if not used within the provided time frames.
