Eclipse PRP^®

Simple: Fewer steps than other PRP (platelet-rich plasma) kits
Excellence: Optimal platelet recovery 87% ± 10%
Fast: Centrifuge with a single spin in a matter of minutes
Patient Friendly: Small volume of blood required
Excellent Value: High volume PRP yield, low cost per mL
~6 mL PRP per 11 mL tube
~12 mL PRP per 22 mL tube
Consistent Platelet Concentration: Allowing for predictable performance

Total platelet count not platelet concentration yields a better patient outcome and wider offering of use cases as part of a successful PRP system. According to the latest research conducted by members of Eclipse’s Medical and Scientific Advisory Board, total platelet count creates the best outcomes for PRP systems. See their full report in the new study, Platelet-Rich Plasma – Be Confident in What You’re Injecting.

PRECAUTIONS

• PRP should be applied to the same patient from whom the blood was drawn.
• Storage of tubes containing blood at or below 0°C may result in tube breakage.
• Storage of tubes above 40°C may damage the gel stability.
• Do not remove conventional rubber stoppers by rolling with a thumb. Remove stoppers with a twist and pull motion.
• Do not use tubes if foreign matter is present.
• All liquid preservatives and anticoagulants are clear. Do not use tubes after their expiration date.
• Do not re-sterilize and do not attempt to clean this product.
• Do not use products if pouch is damaged.
• Use prepared platelet concentrate material within 4 hours after drawing blood from patient.

CAUTION

• Practice Universal Precautions. Process all procedures under controlled environment, use gloves, gowns, eye protection, other personal protective equipment and engineering controls to protect from blood splatter, blood leakage and potential exposure to blood-borne pathogens.
• All glass has the potential for breakage. Examine all glass for potential damage in transit before use and take precautionary measures during handling.
• Handle all biologic samples and blood collection “sharps” (lancets, needles, luer adapters, and blood collection sets) according to the policies and procedures of your facility. Obtain appropriate medical attention in the event of any exposure to biologic samples (for example, through a puncture injury) since they may transmit viral hepatitis, HIV (AIDS), or other infectious diseases. Utilize any built-in used needle protector, if the blood collection device provides one. Estar Technologies Ltd. does not recommend reshielding used needles.
• Discard all blood collection “sharps” in biohazard containers approved for their disposal.
• Transferring a sample from a syringe to a tube is not recommended. Additional manipulation of sharps increases the potential for needlestick injury, in addition, depressing syringe plunger during transfer can create a positive pressure, forcefully displacing the stopper and sample and causing a potential blood exposure. Using a syringe for blood transfer may also cause over or under­filling of tubes, resulting in an incorrect blood-to-additive ratio and potentially incorrect analytic results. Tubes with draw volume smaller than the apparent indicated dimensions may not be filled to their stated volume when filled from a syringe. The laboratory should be consulted regarding the use of these samples.
• Underfilling of tubes will result in an incorrect blood-to-additive ratio and may lead to incorrect analytic results or poor product performance.

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS Damage to blood vessels, hematoma, infection and/or irritation. Temporary or permanent nerve damage that may result in pain or numbness. As with any injection-based treatment, infection is a slight possibility.
