摘要
Automated methods and apparatus for washing surgical swabs 14 to extract and salvage viable red blood cells include contacting the swabs 14 with a saline-based wash solution in a receptacle under sterile conditions and effecting automated compression and/or automated agitation of the receptacle. The saline-based wash solution containing viable red blood cells may be pumped 5 from the swabs 14 to a reservoir 7, the negative pressure created by a peristaltic pump 5 being one method of compressing swabs 14 in a flexible receptacle. Alternatively, compression may be by means of a pneumatically driven plate, a roller or pair of rollers or by increasing fluid pressure in a sealed space adjacent the receptacle.
