71. A device for controlling the collection and delivery of materials to a patient, comprising:
-
a dispenser carrier, a dispenser-engaging portion on said carrier, the dispenser-engaging portion being movable between a release position in which it can receive a materials dispenser when the dispenser is in a materials-containing configuration, and a lock position in which a dispenser can be locked thereto, and access control means operable to control movement of the dispenser-engaging portion between its release position and its lock position according to a materials transaction condition. - View Dependent Claims (72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96)

97. A system for blood processing, comprising:
-
a first syringe to receive a blood sample from a subject patient;
a patient identifier attachable to the subject patient;
blood treatment unit;
a syringe carrier for transferring the first syringe containing the blood sample to the blood treatment unit, the syringe carrier being operable in a release position to receive the first syringe when the first syringe is in a blood-containing configuration, the syringe carrier being operable in a lock position for locking the first syringe therewith;
access control means for controlling the release and lock positions to control access to the first syringe according to a blood sample transfer condition;
a second syringe to receive the blood sample after treatment in the blood treatment unit to form a treated blood sample;
the syringe carrier being operable in the release position to receive the second syringe when the second syringe is in a blood-containing configuration, the syringe carrier being operable in the lock position for locking the second syringe therewith;
said access control means being operable to control the release and lock positions to control access to the second syringe according to a treated blood transfer condition. - View Dependent Claims (98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127)

128. A method of controlling the transfer of blood between a subject patient and a blood treatment unit, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a first syringe containing a sample of untreated blood from a subject patient;
providing a syringe carrier which is operable in a release position to receive the first syringe;
the syringe carrier being operable in a lock position for locking the first syringe therewith, the carrier having an access controller for controlling the release and lock positions according to a blood transaction condition, the access controller including a data transfer unit which is operable to receive patient identification data representative of a subject patient;
in a first blood transaction step, delivering patient identification data representative of a subject patient to the data transfer unit, thereby to place the syringe carrier in a release position to receive the first syringe and thereafter to place the syringe carrier in a lock position to lock the first syringe therein;
in a second blood transaction condition, transferring the patient identification data to a blood treatment unit, thereby to place the syringe carrier in the release position to release the first syringe to a first syringe station in the blood treatment unit;
in a third blood transaction step, delivering treated blood identification data from the blood treatment unit to the syringe carrier, and delivering treated blood verification data from a second syringe containing treated blood from the subject patient and which is positioned at a second syringe station in the blood treatment unit, and placing the syringe carrier in the release position to receive the second syringe;
in a fourth blood transaction step, delivering patient verification data to the syringe carrier and placing the syringe carrier in the release position to release the second syringe.

129. A method of controlling the transfer of blood between a subject patient and a blood treatment unit, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a first syringe to receive a sample of untreated blood from a subject patient;
providing the subject patient with a patient RF signal processor;
providing a second syringe to receive the sample following treatment;
providing each of the first syringe and the second syringe with an RF signal processor;
arranging the RF signal processors on the first syringe and with the patient to issue a signal containing common or related identity data;
delivering the first syringe to the blood treatment unit for performing a treatment step to form a treated blood sample;
reading the identity data from the first syringe and writing the identity data to the second syringe;
collecting the treated blood sample from the treatment unit in the second syringe;
bringing the second syringe within range of the patient RF signal processor to confirm a match therebetween; and
thereafterdelivering the treated blood sample to the patient.
