System and Method for Collecting Platelets and Anticipating Plasma Return

摘要

A blood processing system for collecting plasma reduced platelets and anticipating plasma return includes a venous access device, a blood component separation device, a first return line, a recirculation line, and a second return line. The venous access device draws whole blood from a subject and returns blood components to the subject using a first pump. The blood component separation device separates the drawn blood into a first blood component and a second blood component, and sends the first blood component to a first blood component bag. The first return line fluidly connects the venous-access device and the blood component separation device. The recirculation line connects the first blood component container and the separation device. The second return line fluidly connects the first blood component container and the first return line and is configured to return the first blood component within the first blood container to the subject.

1. A system for collecting plasma reduced platelets and anticipating plasma return comprising:
a venous access device for drawing a first volume of whole blood from a subject and returning blood components to the subject using a first pump; a blood component separation device for separating the drawn blood into a first blood component and a second blood component, the blood component separation device configured to send the first blood component to a first blood component bag and the second blood component to a second blood component bag; a first return line fluidly connecting the venous-access device and the blood component separation device for returning blood components remaining in the separation device to the subject; a recirculation line connecting the first blood component container and the separation device, wherein the first blood component within the first blood component container is reintroduced into the separation chamber through the recirculation line and a recirculation pump; and a second return line fluidly connecting the first blood component container and the first return line and configured to return the first blood component within the first blood container to the subject.
