<p>The present invention is a blood separation system including a housing (1), a peristaltic pump (2), first, second and third clamps (3, 4, 5), an air bubble sensor (6), a centrifuge (7) and a touch sensitive control screen (8). Centrifuge includes a housing (9), a cover (10), drive device (11), a latch (12), an upper centrifugal bowl clamp (13) and a drain port (13). Centrifuge drive device (11) operates at a variable speed, rotating between about 1000 rpm and 6000 rpm in 100 rpm increments. Pump (2) is reversible and operates at variable speed to move fluid to and from the centrifuge (7). The screen (8) provides operator input to the blood separation system and provides output and operator instructions. The blood separation system is used to separate blood into solid cells when spun at a sufficiently high speed and allow platelets to elute from the solid cells when spun at a lower speed for predetermined time.</p> |
