A method and system for assessing an amount of a blood component of a volume of fluid within a canister, the method comprising: receiving an image of the canister generated by the image acquisition device; selecting a first region of the image exhibiting substantially uniform color, wherein the first region of the image corresponds to a layer of fluid situated between a wall of the canister and a first feature of an insert retained in position within the canister; determining a color parameter representative of the first region; determining a concentration of a blood component within the canister, based upon the color parameter; upon determining the volume of fluid of fluid within the canister, generating an analysis informative of an amount of the blood component within the canister; and providing information derived from the analysis to an entity associated with an individual from whom the volume of fluid originated.

Method for estimating a quantity of a blood component in a fluid canister

One method for estimating the extracorporeal blood volume in a portion of a physical sample includes: comparing a portion of an image of the sample with a template image of known extracorporeal blood volume indicator; tagging the portion of the image of the sample with a blood volume indicator according to the template image that is matched to the portion of the image of the sample; and estimating the extracorporeal blood volume in at least a portion of the physical sample, associated with the portion of the image of the sample, according to the blood volume indicator.
