A method for manufacturing a blood filter assembly is provided that includes the steps of providing a first housing sheet and a second housing sheet. The method includes locating and sealing at least one port onto each of the first and second housing sheets. The method includes locating the filtration medium between the first housing sheet and the second housing sheet. The method includes applying heat and pressure to form at least one seal that commingles the first and second housing sheets along with the filtration medium, wherein the periphery of the seal commingles only the first and second housing sheets.

International Classification:
A61M 5/165 A61L 2/00
US Classification:
604406, 422 1
Abstract:
A pre-assembled medical fluid flow system and method of making same are disclosed. The system includes a first sterilized fluid flow system component, a second sterilized fluid flow system component and a flow path for providing fluid communication therebetween. The flow path includes an isolated portion. An openable closure isolates the isolated portion from the first sterilized fluid system component, and a microorganism filter is disposed between and isolates the isolated portion of the flow path and the second sterilized fluid flow system component. Therefore, fluid from the isolated portion of the flow path must flow through the microorganism filter to reach the second sterilized fluid flow system component.

International Classification:
F17D 3/00
US Classification:
137 1, 137561 R
Abstract:
A system is provided for controlling fluid flow in a flow circuit of the type including at least two flexible containers which are fluidly connected by a conduit. The system includes a pressure chamber having an interior which receives one of the containers of the flow circuit. The pressure chamber has at least one port which communicates between the interior of the pressure chamber and the outside environment and receives at least a portion of the conduit of the flow circuit. The pressure chamber also includes a pressure/vacuum source for increasing the pressure in the interior of the pressure chamber above atmospheric pressure and decreasing the pressure in the interior of the pressure chamber below atmospheric pressure. The pressure chamber may include other elements, such as interface detectors, clamping devices, sealing devices, and access devices for automatically processing fluid, such as separated blood.

A61B 5/15
Abstract:
A plasmapheresis system and a method for operating a plasmapheresis system are provided by which a volume of plasma product (i.e., anticoagulated plasma) so that that the targeted volume of pure plasma in the plasma product is determined based on donor-specific characteristics. In particular, the targeted amount of pure plasma to be collected is based on the weight, or the weight and the height, of the donor. The targeted volume of pure plasma to be collected, TVP, may be a multiple of the donor's weight. Alternatively, TVP may be a multiple of the donor's total blood volume, TBV, with the TBV of the donor being determined based on the donor's weight and height. A target volume for the plasma product to be collected, TVPP, is established, and separation of whole blood into a plasma component and a second component continues until the volume of plasma product in a collection container equals TVPP.

A system for collecting plasma comprises a separator to separate whole blood from a donor into a plasma product and red blood cells, an anticoagulant line to introduce anticoagulant to the whole blood, a touchscreen, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive donor parameters electronically from a donor management system. The controller is configured to use a target volume for plasma product and/or raw plasma which is based at least in part on donor height and weight used to calculate total donor blood volume, the target volume for plasma product and/or raw plasma based on the total donor blood volume. The controller is configured to control the system to operate at least three draw and return phases to withdraw whole blood from a donor and separate the whole blood into the plasma product and the red blood cells and to return the red blood cells to the donor.

A system and method for collecting plasma includes drawing whole blood from a donor, combining anticoagulant with the whole blood from the donor, separating the whole blood into a plasma product and a second blood component and sending the plasma product to a collection container. A controller receives parameters over a network from a remote computer, receives a user input to confirm the a parameter and/or procedure, determines a target volume for plasma product and/or raw plasma based on the parameters and, in response to confirming the donor, controls the system to collect the plasma using draw and return phases.

A plasmapheresis system and a method for operating a plasmapheresis system are provided by which the volume/weight of anticoagulated plasma that is collected is optimized. In one example, a nomogram is provided that utilizes the donor's hematocrit to calculate the volume/weight of raw plasma within a plasma product having the maximum volume permitted by the FDA nomogram. In a plasmapheresis procedure having multiple collection phases followed by a reinfusion cycle in which concentrated red blood cells are returned to the donor, the volume of plasma product to be collected is calculated prior to the start of each collection cycle to account for the donor's increasing hematocrit, thus resulting in a greater total volume of plasma product to be collected during the plasmapheresis procedure.
