Performing an apheresis procedure on a donor with identity confirmation
First Claim
1. A method of performing an apheresis procedure on a donor, comprising:
- receiving donor information used to identify a donor;
storing the donor information into a data entry of a database, the database comprising data entries for a plurality of different donors;
transmitting the donor information comprising a name and a birth date from the database to an apheresis treatment device;
transmitting a plurality of parameters to the apheresis treatment device to program the apheresis treatment device for an apheresis procedure;
receiving an input from a touch screen of the apheresis treatment device;
confirming an identity of the donor based on the input; and
performing the apheresis procedure according to the programmed parameters on the apheresis treatment device based on confirming the identity of the donor.

Abstract
A method of performing an apheresis procedure on a donor includes receiving donor information used to identify a donor and storing the donor information into a data entry of a database. The database stores data entries for a plurality of different donors. The method includes transmitting the donor information comprising a name and a birth date from the database to an apheresis treatment device. The method includes transmitting a plurality of parameters to the apheresis treatment device to program the apheresis treatment device for an apheresis procedure. The method includes receiving an input from a touch screen of the apheresis treatment device, confirming an identity of the donor based on the input, and performing the apheresis procedure according to the programmed parameters on the apheresis treatment device based on confirming the identity of the donor.

12. A method of performing an apheresis procedure on a human subject, comprising:
-
receiving over a network donor information comprising a plurality of donor-specific information; receiving over the network a plurality of parameters for an apheresis procedure; receiving a user input from a touch screen to confirm a donor based on the plurality of donor-specific information; in response to confirming the donor, proceeding with an apheresis procedure operated according to the plurality of parameters, the apheresis procedure comprising drawing blood from a human subject, separating the blood by blood component, and returning at least one of the components to the donor. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of performing an apheresis procedure on a human subject, comprising:
-
storing a plurality of subject data entries in a data storage device located remotely from an apheresis treatment device, each subject data entry associated with a human subject, each subject data entry comprising subject-specific information, wherein the remote data storage device is pre-programmed with the subject-specific information at a time prior to the system carrying out the apheresis procedure on the human subject; downloading subject-specific information comprising a name and a birth date from a subject data entry; programming the apheresis treatment device with a plurality of parameters for the apheresis medical procedure; receiving an input from a touch screen; and confirming an identity of the human subject based on the input and, based at least in part on the result of the confirmation, providing access to an apheresis procedure operated according to the programmed parameters on the apheresis treatment device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
