摘要:
A packaging tray for use in a blood processing system including a blood processing device having device components arranged on a component surface and a removable fluid flow circuit having circuit components configured to interact with corresponding device components, wherein the packaging tray configured to be selectively arranged on and removable from the component surface. The packaging tray includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and spaced apart by a thickness, component sections arranged at positions corresponding to positions of respective device components, the component sections respectively formed, at least partially, as openings extending through the thickness, and a plurality of recessed pathways formed on the first surface, the recessed pathways extending between the component sections. A blood processing device may include the packaging tray, and a blood processing system may include a blood processing device and the packaging tray.
摘要:
Blood separation systems and methods are provided for separating blood under conditions of reduced plasma clarity. The system may assess plasma clarity by monitoring light transmissivity of plasma or comparing an actual plasma flow rate to an ideal plasma flow rate, with a low flow rate indicating decreased clarity, which may be addressed by increasing the plasma flow rate. For extracorporeal photopheresis, plasma clarity may be a factor in determining the dosage of irradiating light to apply to mononuclear cells. A fluid processing assembly for mononuclear cell collection may include visual indicium, which an operator may use to determine when to end mononuclear cell collection. The system may detect red blood cells flowing toward a mononuclear cell collection container and reverse the direction of flow to prevent red blood cells from entering the container. An operator may also be enabled to selectively begin and/or end harvesting of mononuclear cells.

A membrane separation device is disclosed along with systems and methods employing the device in blood processing procedures. In one embodiment, a spinning membrane separator is provided in which at least two zones or regions are created in the gap between the membrane and the shell, such that mixing of the fluid between the two regions is inhibited by a radial rib associated with the membrane that decreases the gap between the membrane and the shell to define two fluid regions, the ridge isolating the fluid in the two regions to minimize mixing between the two. Automated systems and methods are disclosed for separating a unit of previously collected whole blood into components, such as concentrated red cells and plasma, for collecting red cells and plasma directly from a donor in single pass, and for cell washing. Data management systems and methods and priming methods are also disclosed.

A method for collecting and washing shed blood includes providing a blood salvage reservoir and a blood salvage system. The user may connect a vacuum inlet port on the reservoir to a vacuum outlet port on the salvage system, connect an inlet port on the reservoir to a patient, and connect a vacuum source to a vacuum connection port on the salvage system. The method may then (1) draw a vacuum on the reservoir to draw shed blood into the reservoir, (2) disconnect the reservoir from the surgical field and salvage system, and (3) connect a second reservoir. The first blood salvage reservoir may then be connected to an automated blood processing system, and the collected blood may be introducing into the automated blood processing system and washed. The blood processing system may then return a portion of the washed blood to the patient.
摘要:
Systems and methods for performing a red blood cell exchange procedure are disclosed. In one aspect, the flow rates of a replacement fluid (e.g., red blood cells from a healthy donor) and plasma being flowed to a blood source are calculated based on certain parameters of the procedure that are known, including the flow rate of blood being drawn from the source and the volume of replacement fluid to be used during the procedure. The replacement fluid flow rate and the plasma flow rate are calculated in a way that allows for simultaneous depletion of the supply of replacement fluid and achievement of another prescribed process parameter. The other prescribed process parameter depends on the nature of the procedure, namely whether the fluid volume and hematocrit of the source are to change by the end of the procedure or remain the same.
摘要:
A blood processing system for collecting plasma reduced platelets and anticipating plasma return includes a venous access device, a blood component separation device, a first return line, a recirculation line, and a second return line. The venous access device draws whole blood from a subject and returns blood components to the subject using a first pump. The blood component separation device separates the drawn blood into a first blood component and a second blood component, and sends the first blood component to a first blood component bag. The first return line fluidly connects the venous-access device and the blood component separation device. The recirculation line connects the first blood component container and the separation device. The second return line fluidly connects the first blood component container and the first return line and is configured to return the first blood component within the first blood container to the subject.
摘要:
A method for the re-anticoagulation of platelet rich plasma in a blood apheresis system includes priming the blood apheresis system with anticoagulant, such that a volume of anticoagulant is transferred to a PRP container. The method may then transfer the anticoagulant within the PRP container to a red blood cell container, and collect a volume of platelet rich plasma within the PRP container. The platelet rich plasma may be collected in a plurality of cycles. Between collection cycles, the method may transfer a portion of the volume of anticoagulant from the red blood cell container to the PRP container.
摘要:
A single-use fluid circuit (10), a system and a method for the separation of blood into blood products are provided permitting automated recovery of white blood cells in a second collection container (28) after producing a leukocyte-reduced blood product through a leukocyte reduction filter (20) in a first collection container (26). The fluid circuit (10) further comprises several flow paths and sources of solution and eluate. The system further comprises clamps (64-76) and pumps (58, 60, 62) and a programmable controller (56) for automatically selectively opening and closing at least some of the clamps (64-76) and actuating at least some of the pumps (58-62) for collecting the blood products into the first and the second collection containers (26, 28).
