    Abstract: A processing system (30) separates a cellular rich suspen- sion (32) into a cellular first constituent (36) and cellular-free sec- ond constituent (38). The system (30) includes a separation zone (40) that receives the cellular rich suspension (32) and discharges the first (36) and second constituents (38). The system (30) coord- inates the flow of cellular rich suspension (32) into the separation zone (40) with the flow of cellular-free second constituent (38) from the separation zone (40) to get a desired nominal separation efficiency. The system (30) also recirculates the cellular first con- stituent (36) back into the zone (40). By continuously recirculat- ing the cellular first constituent (36) back into the separation zone (40), the system (30) can get and maintain a desired volume of the first constituent (36), despite the volume of cellular rich suspen- sion (32) that is processed. By continuously recirculating the cel- lular first constituent (36) back into the separation zone (40), the system (30) also can provide operating conditions within the se- paration zone (40) that maximize separation efficiencies but that, without the benefits of recirculation, could otherwise damage or traumatize the cellular first constituent (36).

    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.
