B01D 24/34
B01D 35/30
B01D 35/14
B01D 33/333

US Classification:

Abstract:

A reservoir for use with a blood collection system includes a housing, a pre-filter, and a spring mechanism. The housing defines a cavity and has an inlet for receiving fluid from a source. The pre-filter is located within the cavity, removes particulates contained within the fluid, and allows the fluid to pass through the pre-filter. The spring mechanism is connected to the pre-filter and allows the pre-filter to travel within the cavity as the pre-filter collects particulates.

Assignee:

Haemonetics Corporation - Braintree MA

International Classification:

A61J 1/14

US Classification:

604327

Abstract:

A container () for storing donated blood plasma has a neck and an attachable locking cap (). The cap may be rotatably attached to the neck. The cap and the neck are configured to lock the cap in at least one, and preferably two, rotational positions. In one position, tubes () connected to the container are accessible. After the plasma has been collected and the tubes have been cut off and sealed, in the other position, the tube stubs are protected by the cap. The bottle and the cap may define structures that facilitate storing and protecting tubing wrapped longitudinally around the container, until the container is used to collect and store plasma.

Abstract:

A method for creating a custom cell processing protocol includes providing a cell processing device having a display, a blood component separation device, and a pump. The method may then select, using the display, a first and second processing phase. The first processing phase has a plurality of first processing phase parameters and the second processing phase has a plurality of second processing phase parameters. The method may then modify the first and second processing phase parameters using the display, and create a custom protocol algorithm. The algorithm may be based, at least in part, on the selected first and second processing phases and the modified first and second processing phase parameters

Abstract:

A method for collecting and washing shed blood includes providing a blood salvage reservoir and a blood salvage system. The user may connect a vacuum inlet port on the reservoir to a vacuum outlet port on the salvage system, connect an inlet port on the reservoir to a patient, and connect a vacuum source to a vacuum connection port on the salvage system. The method may then (1) draw a vacuum on the reservoir to draw shed blood into the reservoir, (2) disconnect the reservoir from the surgical field and salvage system, and (3) connect a second reservoir. The first blood salvage reservoir may then be connected to an automated blood processing system, and the collected blood may be introducing into the automated blood processing system and washed. The blood processing system may then return a portion of the washed blood to the patient.

International Classification:

B01D 65/00
A61M 1/16

US Classification:

210650, 2102572, 210 86

Abstract:

A reservoir for use with a blood collection system includes a housing defining a cavity and a single stage filter. The housing has an inlet for receiving fluid from a source and an outlet. The inlet is in fluid communication with the cavity. The single stage filter includes a filter membrane configured to filter the fluid entering the housing from the inlet, and a frame defining the structure of the single stage filter. The frame also supports the filter membrane within the housing, and has a wiper edge that seals against an inner wall of the housing.
