An apparatus and method for extracorporeal blood separation and treatment. A cassette (1100) has integral flexible tubing which is routed above apertures or is otherwise exposed so that pressure can be applied to prevent fluid flow through a selected section of tubing. A hub within the cassette preferably connects sections of the tubing. A kit (1000) comprising the cassette (1100) and a separation bowl (10), UV chamber (700), and patient collection and return components (1193,1106,1194,1114) is adapted to be operated by a non-disposable tower (2000) which comprises peristaltic pumps with pump heads (1301,1302,1303,1304,1305) which engage flexible tubing loops (1120,1121,1122,1124) of the cassette, a cavity for receiving the UV chamber (700), and a centrifuge chamber (10), with all operations controlled by a programmed processor. |
