Incorporating IAS feline kit to our feline blood donor program has been a major improvement in our procedures and quality of our blood products. The IAS feline kit is the most similar to the systems used in dogs, and is the only commercial one we have found that provides a nearly closed system, that includes the anticoagulant and the additive for red blood cell preservation. It’s easy to use and the diameter of the lines allows for easy blood flow, which decreases the possible damage to the red blood cells and consequent hemolysis. »
