Abstract
A blood reservoir mounting bracket supports alternate sizes of blood reservoir assemblies. The reservoir mounting bracket has a reversible reservoir mounting frame, with mounting pins on one side thereof arranged in a first pattern for the mounting holes of one size of a blood reservoir assembly, and mounting pins on its other side arranged in a second pattern for the mounting holes of a second, different sized blood reservoir assembly. Alternatively, the reservoir mounting bracket has a reservoir mounting frame with retractable pins therein for use in adapting to differently arrayed holes on different sized blood reservoir assemblies. The reservoir mounting bracket further has an oxygenator holder which allows orientation of the oxygenator in a plurality of positions.
