A blood processing system including a blood processing unit (12) and a tubular arterial set (10) and a tubular venous set (14) may be primed by passing priming solution in a first direction of flow through at least one of the sets, to cause the priming solution to enter an in-line chamber (64) carried by the one set in a flow direction that is retrograde to the normal direction of blood flow through the chamber (64). Preferably, the in-line filter chamber carries a filter (65). Simulteaneously, air is removed from the one set through a port. In another, preferably simultaneous step of the process, the priming solution is passed in a second flow direction, which is reverse the first flow direction, through the blood processing unit and connected sets while continuing to remove air from the system through the port, to complete priming of the system. |
