The manifold is provided with a mechanically readable barcode label and makes a blood processing apparatus distinguish which type of the disposable unit is mounted. The apparatus itself is provided with a central processing apparatus 610 for controlling the whole processing, the first computor memory 650 contg. safety monitoring command for making the central processing apparatus monitor various condition parameters for securing safety of the donor and the second computor memory 172 contg. command for providing at least one apheresis or blood processing protocol. The second computor memory is removable on the blood processing apparatus by an operator. |
