<p>A blood separation apparatus comprises a blood separation chamber (18) having a base (388) including formed walls (122, 124) that define an annular separation channel (126), an interior wall (136) that extends across the separation channel (126) to define a terminus, an inlet passage (146) on one side of the terminus that conveys blood into the separation channel (126) in a flow path for separation into blood component, an outlet passage (142) on another side of the terminus that conveys the blood component from the flow path and a mechanism to rotate the blood separation chamber (18) about an axis in direction of blood flow in the flow path from the inlet passage (146) toward the outlet passage (142).</p> |
