In this in vitro study, we were unable to reproduce the failure mode characterized by coil overheating, deformation, and rupture previously reported with use of the FMS 2000. Addition of CaCl2 in the range of 200 mg caused macroscopic coagulation in the reservoir when added to crystalloids or albumin mixed with different combinations of blood products containing FTP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
