Abstract:
A portable centrifuge apparatus for use with a centrifuge bowl having a seamless, unitary blow molded bowl body for the separation of blood into less dense and more dense components. A light weight, hand-held cabinet houses the centrifuge, and auxiliary equipment such as blood pumps, control instrumentation, and a sensor for measuring fluid pressure in a disposable chamber used for filtering blood.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apheresis apparatus and method for separating blood. A phlebotomy needle (22) draws anticoagulated whole blood from a donor into a separation chamber (10). The separation chamber (10) separates plasma from higher density blood components. The plasma is displaced to a plasma collection bag (24). The separation process is terminated and the higher density blood components remaining in the separation chamber are diluted with saline solution (14) and are returned to the donor via the phlebotomy needle (22). Anticoagulated whole blood is drawn again from the donor into the separation chamber (10). The separation chamber (10) again separates plasma from higher density blood components in the separation chamber (10). The separation process is then terminated and the donor is disconnected. The higher density blood components remaining in the separation chamber (10) are displaced to a bag (26) for collecting higher density blood components and is rejuvenated with additive solution (12).
Abstract:
Centrifugeuse portative destinée à être utilisée avec une cuvette de centrifugeuse présentant un corps monobloc sans jointures moulé par injection, en vue de la séparation du sang en composants de différentes densités. Une enceinte légère que l'on peut tenir dans la main contient la centrifugeuse, ainsi que l'équipement auxiliaire tel que les pompes de circulation du sang, les instruments de commande et un capteur de mesure de la pression du fluide dans une chambre jetable utilisée pour filtrer le sang.
