<p>In the processing of a blood product to deplete the product of leukocytes, air can be introduced with the leukocyte depleted blood in a transfer bag. This air is potentially harmful to the recipient of the processed blood product. It is removed by providing a line between the transfer bag and a donor bag, from which the blood product is passed for processing, with the by-pass line including a hydrophobic filter which allows the passage of air but prevents the passage of a processed blood product. In this way, all the air can be removed from the transfer bag without affecting the quality of the processed blood product. A similar arrangement can be used for removing other unwanted fluids from processed blood products.</p> |
