Product Overview

The Safeguard Medical 80-875 LTOWB Transfusion Set represents an evolution of the company's FWB product line, incorporating both fresh whole blood collection and transfusion capability within a single sealed package along with documentation and screening components appropriate for the LTOWB walking blood bank context. It provides a complete, self-contained system for any provider who needs to conduct a field whole blood transfusion from initial screening through final documentation.

Each set contains all components needed to properly document donor and recipient information, screen for ABO/Rh compatibility, collect samples for retrospective testing, and perform the collection and transfusion of one unit of fresh whole blood. This comprehensive approach ensures chain-of-custody compliance, pre-transfusion safety checks, and post-event documentation that follows the casualty through the medical evacuation system.

Safeguard Medical's LTOWB Transfusion Set also supports Cold-Stored Whole Blood (CSWB) administration — the company's product family spans the full spectrum from far-forward FWB walking blood banks to long-duration CSWB transport from echelon points. For units operating where CSWB can be pre-positioned (battalion aid stations, forward surgical teams), the 80-875 provides the administration capability to deliver that stored blood to casualties at the point of care.

The 1-year shelf life is an important operational planning parameter: unlike NSN blood products which have specific dating windows, the 80-875 kit has a 1-year usability window from date of manufacture. Units should track manufacturing dates and build rotation schedules accordingly. For TCCC kit builds requiring longer shelf life, the NAR LTOWB Kit products offer equivalent functionality with extended shelf life consideration.

LTOWB vs. FWB vs. CSWB: Platform Selection Guide

Specification	Detail
Fresh Whole Blood (FWB)	Immediate field draw from walking blood bank donor; warmest, most physiologically intact; no cold chain required; activated on demand
LTOWB (pre-screened donors)	Same as FWB but restricted to pre-screened type O low-titer donors; reduces transfusion reaction risk; ideal for unknown recipient blood type
Cold-Stored Whole Blood (CSWB)	Pre-drawn, tested, and refrigerated; available when cold chain infrastructure exists (aid stations, ships, forward surgical); requires warming before infusion
80-875 Application	Supports all three scenarios — collection and administration components cover FWB, LTOWB, and CSWB administration workflows

All products sourced from the actual brand manufacturer or authorized master distributors. CoTCCC recommendation status verified where applicable. Ships from MED-TAC International, Pembroke Pines, FL — clinician-founded, veteran-led, SDVOSB-certified.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the 80-875 LTOWB Transfusion Set differ from the 80-801 FWB Transfusion Set?

The 80-875 LTOWB Transfusion Set is designed specifically for the LTOWB walking blood bank protocol, incorporating components for LTOWB donor documentation and CSWB administration scenarios in addition to standard FWB collection and transfusion. The 80-801 FWB Transfusion Set is the original fresh whole blood product. Both serve the complete collection-to-administration use case but with different documentation and operational context alignment.

What is the shelf life of the Safeguard Medical 80-875?

The Safeguard Medical LTOWB Transfusion Set (80-875) has a shelf life of up to 1 year from the date of manufacture. Units should track manufacturing dates through NSN procurement documentation and establish kit rotation schedules to ensure kits are current when deployed. For operational environments requiring longer positioning, plan resupply cycles accordingly.

Does the 80-875 support Cold-Stored Whole Blood (CSWB) administration?

Yes. The Safeguard Medical LTOWB product family supports both FWB walking blood bank operations and CSWB administration from pre-positioned stored blood. The 80-875 includes administration components compatible with CSWB delivery. When using CSWB that has been refrigerated (4°C), pair with a blood/fluid warmer such as the QinFlow Warrior EXTREME to warm to 38°C and prevent transfusion-associated hypothermia.

What NSN number is this product listed under?

The Safeguard Medical LTOWB Transfusion Set (80-875) carries NSN 6515-01-684-9074. The companion Collection Set carries NSN 6515-01-686-2423 and the companion Administration Set carries NSN 6515-01-686-2401. These NSNs enable procurement through military supply channels for units requiring government-funded resupply.

What is Cold-Stored Whole Blood (CSWB) and how does it differ from FWB?

Cold-Stored Whole Blood (CSWB) is pre-drawn, laboratory-tested whole blood stored at 4°C (refrigerator temperature) for up to 21 days. Unlike Fresh Whole Blood drawn on-site, CSWB requires cold chain infrastructure (refrigerated storage and transport) but provides laboratory-tested, pre-screened blood that can be positioned at aid stations or forward surgical teams in advance. CSWB provides the logistical predictability of stored blood with significantly better hemostatic properties than component therapy — particularly within the first 14 days of storage.
