AlphaVac MMA F1885 System and AlphaReturn Blood Management System

Following mechanical thrombectomy using the AlphaVac MMA System, the treating physician will filter the aspirated blood using the AlphaReturn Blood Management System and reinfuse the filtered autologous blood back into the patient.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

AlphaReturn Blood Management System

Intervention Type DEVICE

The AlphaReturn Blood Management System allows for autologous injection of aspirated blood from an AlphaVac MMA System thrombectomy procedure.
