<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for extracorporeal blood separation and treatment for shortening a time required for performing photopheresis or whole apheresis treatment session. <P>SOLUTION: 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 (1140) within the cassette preferably connects sections of the tubing. A kit comprising the cassette and a separation bowl (10), UV chamber (700), and patient collection and return components is adapted to be operated by a non-disposable tower which comprises peristaltic pumps with pump heads which engage flexible tubing loops (1121-1124) of the cassette, a cavity for receiving the UV chamber, and a centrifuge chamber (2101). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
