Hokkaido-orthopedic Memorial
Hospital develops an OrthoPAT-specific
SOP to improve operational safety
Our unique SOP is utilized effectively with
the corresponding operator’s manual. Because
nurses are able to operate the OrthoPAT device
confidently, it comforts patients and families
after their stressful surgery. In 2009, we used the
OrthoPAT system without incident in 208 TKA
procedures, and found that we avoided allogeneic
transfusions in all cases except one where
complications from a gastric ulcer necessitated a
transfusion.”

Developing and managing the OrthoPAT SOP
At Hokkaido-orthopedic Memorial Hospital,
we use the OrthoPAT® Perioperative
Autotransfusion System for post-op
cell salvage, mainly in high blood loss
TKA surgeries, to help reduce allogeneic
transfusions.
In our hospital, nurses are responsible for
running the OrthoPAT system as many TKA
procedures continue late into the night.
Because every nurse is expected to be able to
use the OrthoPAT system, an SOP that shows
them how to operate OrthoPAT device safely
needed to be developed.
Therefore, in accordance with best practices for
medical devices, we developed our OrthoPAT
SOP documentation based on the device’s
Operators Manual and Quick Reference Guide
with Haemonetics’ support. Also, our SOP
is managed as described below to ensure the
OrthoPAT system’s consistent operation.
ƒƒ Introduce the OrthoPAT system and
how autotransfusion reduces allogeneic
transfusion during new-hire training.
ƒƒ All nurses are trained on an OrthoPAT
demonstration device during their initial
SOP training.
ƒƒ New-hires operate the OrthoPAT system
under the supervision of a senior nurse until
they complete their SOP training.
ƒƒ At least one nurse who is an expert with the
OrthoPAT device is scheduled on, or is made
available for consultation, on every shift.
