Abstract: Fluid separation chambers are provided for rotation about an axis in a fluid processing system. The fluid separation chamber may be provided with first and second stages, with the first and second stages being positioned at different axial locations. In another embodiment, at least one of the stages may be provided with a non-uniform outer diameter about the rotational axis, which may define a generally spiral-shaped profile or a different profile for fractionating a fluid or fluid component. One or more of the stages may also have a varying outer diameter along the axis. The profile of the chamber may be provided by the chamber itself (in the case of rigid chambers) or by an associated fixture or centrifuge apparatus (in the case of flexible chambers).

Abstract: A system and method for collecting plasma includes drawing whole blood from a donor, combining anticoagulant with the whole blood from the donor, separating the whole blood into a plasma product and a second blood component and sending the plasma product to a collection container. A controller determines a total blood volume for a donor based on donor weight, height and gender. The system comprises a touchscreen for receiving a confirming user input and a scanning device configured to scan a bar code associated with a donor. The system and method operate a plurality of draw and return phases.

Abstract: Blood is conveyed from a source into a separator, which separates at least one target blood component from the blood. The target blood component is then conveyed out of the separator, with the procedure continuing until an initial target amount of blood to be processed has been conveyed from the source into the separator and the target blood component separated from the initial target amount of blood to be processed has been conveyed out of the separator as an actual yield of the target blood component. An adjusted target amount of blood to be processed is then determined based at least in part on the difference between a target yield of the target blood component and the actual yield. The initial target amount of blood to be processed is then replaced with the adjusted target amount of blood to be processed when next executing the procedure.

Abstract: A system and method processes blood donation data for presentation on an operator interface. A handheld computing device has a touch screen display and a processing circuit to provide an icon associated with an executable application on a first display screen, the icon configured to be positioned along with icons for other executable applications on the first display screen. The processing circuit is to retrieve an indication of a need for a particular blood component, wherein the particular blood component is selected from the group comprising whole blood, double red cells and plasma. The processing circuit is to provide the indication of the need for a particular blood component to the display. The processing circuit is to provide to the touch screen display a remaining time or a date the blood donor is next eligible to donate a blood component based on a donation eligibility guideline.

Abstract: A blood processing system includes a centrifuge and an optical monitoring system mounted at a stationary radial position with respect to the centrifuge. A flow circuit may be mounted within the centrifuge, with an umbilicus of the flow circuit extending outside of the centrifuge. A midsection of the umbilicus is orbited around a rotational axis of the centrifuge at a uniform first speed, which causes the centrifuge to rotate at a non-uniform second speed that is approximately double the first speed. The monitoring system is configured to view the flow circuit through a radial window of the centrifuge to determine a characteristic of the flow circuit. The yoke and/or umbilicus may occasionally move into position between the monitoring system and the window, so a controller of the monitoring system is configured to determine when unobstructed light reflected through the window by the centrifuge is received by the monitoring system.

Abstract: A system for performing an apheresis procedure on a human subject includes an apheresis treatment device and a remote data storage device. The remote data storage device communicates with the apheresis treatment device over a network. The remote data storage device is programmed with a plurality of subject data entries, each subject data entry comprising subject-specific information. The remote data storage device downloads subject-specific information comprising a name and a birth date from the subject data entry and programs the apheresis treatment device with a plurality of parameters for the apheresis medical procedure. The apheresis treatment device includes a touch screen and a controller, the controller confirming an identity of the human subject based on an input. Based on the result of the confirmation access is provided to an apheresis procedure operated according to the programmed parameters on the apheresis treatment device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using physiological data in a medical device are disclosed. The physiological data may be measured by a vital sign reader and received by a processing circuit associated with the medical device. The processing circuit may automatically adjust the operation of the medical device during a medical procedure based on the physiological data. In some implementations, the processing circuit may mirror a memory partition to a redundant storage device, allowing for uninterrupted execution of the medical procedure in the event of a memory failure condition.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing a therapeutic red blood cell exchange procedure are disclosed. In one aspect, a system includes a first flow path for flowing whole blood from a patient. A separator communicates with the first flow path for separating at least red blood cells from plasma. Second and third flow paths communicate with the separator for respectively flowing the separated plasma and red blood cells from the separator. A flow controller is associated with the flow paths to control fluid communication between the flow paths. The controller is configured to perform the procedure to achieve a target fraction of patient cells remaining, target hematocrit, and a target patient fluid volume change at the completion of the procedure based on data input by the operator.
