Measuring method for determining sediment level within a flexible pouch, especially for use with a red blood cell concentrate sample, whereby the pouch is compressed between plates and a phase change border measured

摘要

Method for characterizing the sediment within a flexible pouch (10) has the following steps: insertion of the pouch between two support plates (21, 22), pressing together of the plates until a predetermined measurement distance between the two is obtained and measurement of the phase change border (13) between sediment (11) and a medium (12) above it. An independent claim is made for a device for characterizing a sediment within a flexible pouch.
