<p>A multiple bag system (10) for preparation of blood components. Donated blood tubing (12) communicates at one end with a first blood bag (14). A first compartment (18) is in flow communication with the donated blood tubing (12) the first compartment (18) containing a physiologically-acceptable, dry anticoagulant (20) for blood. Thus, blood may flow through the first compartment (18) to receive a predetermined amount of the anticoagulant (20) and pass through the donated blood tubing (12) to the first blood bag (14). Second blood tubing (30) communicates between the first blood bag (14) and a second blood bag (32). First branch tubing (34) communicates between the first bag (14) and a second compartment (38). The second compartment (38) contains another physiologically-acceptable dry material, for example for reconstituting into a red blood cell preservative solution, for reconstituting into a platelet preservative solution, by addition of sterile, aqueous liquid. Means are provided permitting aseptic passage of sterile, aqueous liquid through the second compartment (38) to receive a predetermined amount of the dry material, to reconstitute it into the desired solution, and permitting passage thereof into one of the blood bags.</p> |
