Claim 12:
13. A method of executing a blood separation procedure, the method comprising:
(a) conveying blood from a blood source connected to a blood separation device into a separator,
(b) separating at least one target blood component from the blood in the separator,
(c) conveying said at least one target blood component out of the separator,
(d) continuing to execute (a)-(c) until an initial target amount of blood to be processed has been conveyed from the blood source into the separator and said at least one target blood component separated from the initial target amount of blood to be processed has been conveyed out of the separator as an actual yield of said at least one target blood component, and
upon the initial target amount of blood being processed, (e) completing the blood separation procedure, with the blood source being disconnected from the blood separation device, wherein the initial target amount of blood to be processed when executing a subsequent iteration of the blood separation procedure for the same blood source is replaced with an adjusted target amount of blood to be processed based at least in part on a difference between a target yield of said at least one target blood component and the actual yield.
