Extracorporeal blood processing information management system
First Claim
1. An extracorporeal blood processing information management system comprising:
- a central database;
a data input device connected in data communication relationship with said central database;
a data manipulation device connected in data communication relationship with at least one of said central database and said data input device; and
a communication subsystem connected in data communication relationship with at least one of said central database, said data input device and said data manipulation device; and
at least one extracorporeal blood processing machine;
whereby said communication subsystem is connected in data communication relationship with said at least one extracorporeal blood processing machine to provide for data communication to and from said at least one extracorporeal blood processing machine;
whereby data is communicated by said communication subsystem, said data comprising preparation data and run data;
whereby said communication subsystem communicates preparation data to said at least one extracorporeal blood processing machine, said preparation data being generated by said data manipulation device and used by said at least one extracorporeal blood processing machine in preparation of said at least one machine for an extracorporeal blood processing procedure; and
whereby said communication subsystem communicates run data from said at least one extracorporeal blood processing machine, whereby said run data represents information about an extracorporeal blood processing procedure run on said at least one blood processing machine.

Abstract
A blood component collection system with data manipulation and/or optimization capabilities. In one embodiment, process parameters are derived from an input and/or configured predetermined blood component yield and which is based upon the maximization of at least one process parameter. Thereafter, the blood component separation and collection procedure is performed with these derived process control parameters. In another embodiment, process parameters are derived from an input total procedure time from a maximized value for at least one of the other process control parameters so as to maximize blood component yield in this fixed time. Thereafter, the blood component separation and collection procedure is performed with these derived parameters.
