APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FILTERING A MIXTURE OF A BLOOD COMPONENT AND AN ADDITIVE SOLUTION

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for filtering a mixture of a blood component and an additive solution for the blood component. The invention further relates to a method in which a blood component and an additive solution for the blood component are mixed, and the mixture of the blood component and the additive solution is filtered. In the disclosed apparatus for filtering a blood component and an additive solution, the means (10) for mixing the blood component and the additive solution comprise swirling elements that generate vortexes. The vortexes in the liquid flow allow the blood component and the additive solution to be optimally blended before the liquids are filtered such that the mixture of the blood component and the additive solution can be carefully and quickly filtered.
