Umbilical cord blood collection set (A group of devices intended to be used to collect, process, and store umbilical cord blood and/or umbilical cord blood components (e.g., buffy coat). It typically includes tubing, hollow needles for insertion into the umbilical cord (a double venipuncture of the cord) to collect the blood, and several containers (flexible bags usually containing an anticoagulant) intended for transitional (room temperature) or long-term (frozen) blood storage. The cord blood is usually intended to be frozen and stored, typically to preserve stem cells, for subsequent reinfusion into patients, generally in cases of leukaemia. This is a single-use device.)
