The Hemo-Nate syringe filter is used to:

The Hemo-Nate syringe filter is used to:

• A. Stabilizes blood during storage
• B. Filters only plasma proteins
• C. Removes harmful micro-debris in whole blood and cryoprecipitates
• D. Acts as a needle hub for injections

Answer: (C)

Removing particulate matter from blood products helps prevent harm during transfusion. The Hemo-Nate syringe filter is designed to trap and remove harmful micro-debris from whole blood and cryoprecipitates before administration, making the product safer to transfuse and reducing the risk of microemboli or occlusion downstream. It isn’t used to stabilize blood during storage, nor to filter only plasma proteins, nor to serve as a needle hub for injections; its role is filtration of particulates rather than storage stabilization or fluid routing.
