CENTRIFUGE FOR BLOOD PROCESSING SYSTEMS

摘要

Described herein is a continuous-flow centrifuge (CFC) which may be embodied in an automated system for collecting and separating whole blood into its components. The collection and separation system includes a console and a disposable set. Various blood processing procedures which produce specific blood products may be implemented by using a specific disposable set for each process. The continuous-flow centrifuge disk, comprising: an inner wall, an outer wall, and a separation channel therebetween, comprising: an inner surface (506), an outer surface (507), an inlet port (594) to introduce whole blood into said separation channel, a first outlet port (544) to remove concentrated red blood cells from said separation channel and a second outlet (584) to remove plasma from said separation channel, wherein said inner surface and said outer surface of said separation channel are each independently configured at a non-zero angle relative to a spin axis.
