    Abstract: Blood separation systems and methods utilize a membrane separation device (5 2) comprising a gap (60) between a microporous membrane (64) and a surface (56) facing the microporous membrane (64), one of the microporous membrane (64) a nd the surface (56) being rotatable relative to the other to cause separation o f whole blood in the gap (60) into plasma and concentrated red blood cells. The systems and methods include an inlet pump element (20) and a drive element (46) coupled to the membrane separation device (52) and the steps of commanding the inlet pump element (20) and the drive element (46) as a function of the known beginning hematocrit value to obtain concentrated red blood cells having a high end hematocrit value that remains substantially constant despite variances in th e known beginning hematocrit value.
