Category (FI): A61M60/113,A61M1/02,120,A61M60/39
Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for processing whole blood into red blood cell, plasma and platelet products.SOLUTION: A processing device includes a pump system, a valve system, a centrifuge, and a controller. A fluid flow circuit is mounted on the device to execute a procedure in which whole blood is processed into a red blood cell product, a plasma product, and a platelet concentrate product. The blood is first separated into red blood cells, a buffy coat and plasma using the centrifuge, with the red blood cells and plasma being removed from the centrifuge, while the buffy coat remains in the centrifuge. The fluid remaining in the centrifuge is circulated through the centrifuge to form a homogenous mixture. Once the mixture is formed, it is separated in the centrifuge into platelet concentrate and red blood cells. A platelet product is then collected by using whole blood or previously collected red blood cells to push the platelet concentrate from the centrifuge to a collection container.SELECTED DRAWING: None (Grant)
