transfer of the blood products among various containers. The TSCD II device offers
technology for connecting sterile blood product containers while maintaining a sterile
fluid pathway and a closed system.
In this system, two lengths of tubing are secured parallel to each other in the clamps
of the TSCD II device. A TSCD wafer that has been heated to approximately 300 °C
(572 °F) cuts through the two lengths of tubing. The section of tubing held in the left
front clamp is moved along the wafer until it is aligned directly across from the
section of tubing held by the right rear clamp. At this point the wafer is retracted, the
clamps push the tubing together, and the two sections of tubing are welded together
by the fusion of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material.
