摘要:
Blood processing systems and methods separate blood into constituents including a plasma constituent that includes a platelet volume. The systems and methods detect the optical density of the plasma constituent and generate a first output indicative of the optical density. A processing element integrates the first output relative to the volume of plasma constituent and generates an integrated output. The integrated output correlates to the platelet volume. A second processing element generates a third output based, at least in part, upon the integrated output, which comprises parameters for storing the platelet volume.
摘要:
A viewing area in a blood separation chamber is monitored for the presence of an interface region between plasma and cellular blood components. Sensed optical density values for the viewing area are compared to a calibrated threshold value to generate a time pulse output. A calibration element derives the calibrated threshold value based upon either (i) a comparison of a sensed reference optical density value in the viewing area to an expected optical density value for the reference material, or (ii) a sensed optical density value of plasma exiting the blood separation chamber, or both.
