The system includes an airtight containment chamber (10) for supporting therein one or more blood storage bags (20). A door (28) is provided for access to the chamber (10) and there is included an airtight fixture (26) that allows tubing from the blood storage bag (20) to exit the chamber (10). A fluid pump (12) is coupled to the containment chamber (10) for establishing either pressure or vacuum within the containment chamber (10). A controller (50) controls the air pump (12) to, in turn, control the transfer of a blood product.
