AUTOMATED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WITHDRAWING COMPOUNDS FROM BLOOD

摘要

Automated systems (10) and methods for withdrawing a selected compound from blood are disclosed. The systems and methods utilize a disposable fluid circuit (50) mounted on a re-usable hardware component or module (12). The system withdraws blood from a donor or patient, separates the blood into two or more components and further combines the separated component with a solvent so as to remove a compound from the blood component.
