Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A blood processing chamber (22) separates blood into constituents including a plasma constituent that includes a platelet volume. An optical monitor (98) detects the optical density of the plasma constituen t and generates a first output indicative of the optical density. A processing element (100) integrates the first output relative to the volum e of plasma constituent and generates an integrated output. The integrated output correlates to the platelet volume. A second processing element (72) generates a third output based, at least in part, upon the integrated output, which encompasses parameters for storing the platelet volume.
