BLOOD PROCESSING SYSTEMS WHICH MONITOR CITRATE RETURN

摘要

Blood collection systems minimize citrate toxicity in donors. The systems convey whole blood (WB) at a prescribed rate into a separation device (12) for separation into red blood cells (RBC) and a plasma constituent (PRP). The systems add anticoagulant including citrate from container (C1) to the whole blood (WB). The systems control addition of anticoagulant from container (C1) using controller (18).
