Blood Collection Monitor
Automated, precise donor blood collection.
System Overview
An essential device for the donor room and mobile camps. It continuously weighs the blood and gently mixes it with anticoagulant, automatically clamping the tube when the target volume is reached.
Zero Over-Bleeding
Automatic clamping perfectly stops collection at target volume.
No Clotting
Continuous gentle rocking ensures perfect mixing with anticoagulant.
Portable
Built-in battery backup makes it perfect for outdoor blood camps.
Key Features
- Programmable target volume (e.g., 350ml, 450ml) with high-accuracy load cell.
- Continuous rocking motion (12-15 RPM) during the entire donation process.
- Automatic motor-driven clamp completely occludes the tube at completion.
- Audio-visual alarms for flow rate issues, completion, and low battery.
- LCD display shows real-time volume collected, time taken, and flow rate.

What Is a Blood Collection Monitor?
An automated weighing and mixing device used during donation that monitors collected blood volume in real time and automatically clamps the tube once the target volume is reached.
Use In a Blood Bank
Used at the donor bed during whole blood collection — it continuously mixes blood with anticoagulant and stops collection precisely at 350ml/450ml, preventing both under- and over-collection.
Buying Checklist
- Accurate load cell (±2g) for precise volume measurement
- Programmable target volumes for different bag sizes
- Battery backup of several hours for mobile camp use
- Audio-visual alarms for flow issues, completion, and low battery
- Compact, portable design for camp transport
NABH / NACO Relevance
Correct collection volume directly affects the anticoagulant ratio and component quality. NABH/NACO blood bank standards emphasise accurate volume control during collection to avoid under-filled or over-filled units.
Kell BioTech Software Integration
Collection volume, time, and flow data from the monitor can be attached to the donor's donation record in Kell BioTech, so any volume-related flag is visible before the unit moves to processing.
FAQs
What happens if collection volume is too low or too high?
Under- or over-collected units can have an incorrect anticoagulant-to-blood ratio, which can affect component quality and may require the unit to be discarded.
Can the monitor be used at donation camps, not just the main centre?
Yes, most units run on battery backup for several hours, making them suitable for mobile camps.
Does Kell BioTech record collection monitor data automatically?
Collection volume and flow data can be logged against the donor's record, flagging any unit outside the expected range.
