Blood separation systems and methods using a multiple function pump station
First Claim
1. A blood processing system comprising a donor flow channel to convey fluid to and from a donor, a blood processing flow channel including a blood separation chamber to separate a blood component from donor blood, a blood component collection flow channel including a blood component collection container, a pump station communicating with the donor flow channel, the blood processing flow channel, and the blood component collection flow channel, and a controller to operate the pump station in multiple modes, including a processing mode, during which the pump station is operated to convey blood in the donor flow channel into the blood processing flow channel for separation of the blood component in the blood separation chamber, and a collection mode, during which the pump station is operated to convey at least some of the blood component in the blood processing flow channel into the blood component collection flow channel for collection in the blood component collection container.

Abstract
A multiple function pump station performs different on-line processing tasks. The pump station can be operated in one mode to draw blood from a donor and, in another mode, be operated to return blood to the donor. The pump station used to draw blood from a donor can also be used to perform subsequent blood processing tasks, such as mixing or processing additive fluids with the blood, or transfering a harvested blood component to a storage container, or finishing the processing of a harvested blood component.

12. A blood processing system comprising
a donor flow channel to convey fluid to and from a donor, a blood processing flow channel including a blood separation chamber to separate red blood cells from donor blood, a blood component collection flow channel including a red blood cell collection container, a pump station communicating with the donor flow channel, the blood processing flow channel, and the blood component collection flow channel, a controller to operate the pump station in multiple modes, including a processing mode, during which the pump station is operated to convey blood in the donor flow channel into the blood processing flow channel for separation of the red blood cells in the blood separation chamber, and a collection mode during which the pump station is operated to convey at least some of the red blood cells in the blood processing flow channel into the blood component collection flow channel for collection in the red blood cell collection container.

13. A blood processing method comprising the steps of:
-
coupling a multi-function pump station to a donor flow channel for conveying fluid to and from a donor, a blood processing flow channel including a blood separation chamber to separate a blood component from donor blood, and a blood component collection flow channel including a blood component collection container, and operating the pump station in multiple modes, including a processing mode, during which the pump station is operated to convey blood in the donor flow channel into the blood processing flow channel for separation of the blood component in the blood separation chamber, and a collection mode, during which the pump station is operated to convey at least some of the blood component in the blood processing flow channel into the blood component collection flow channel for collection in the blood component collection container. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
