Claim Text:
1. A pre-connected sterile blood component sampling system comprising: a collected blood component container; at least one reservoir having a substantially fixed volume, and including opposed ends and a side wall extending between the ends and at least one volumetric indicator located on the side wall of the reservoir and indicating a selected volume; a sample container docking station configured to cooperate with a sample collection container; a first fluid flow path selectively communicating between the blood component container and through one end of the at least one reservoir, and wherein the location of the volumetric indicator on the side wall of the reservoir is at a position corresponding to an internal volume of the reservoir between the one end and the position of the indicator that is equal to the selected volume minus a volume of at least a portion of the first fluid flow path whereby the selected volume indicated by the volumetric indicator takes into account the volume of blood component residing in the at least a portion of the first fluid flow path; a second fluid flow path selectively communicating between the one end of the at least one reservoir and the docking station; and whereby a blood component sample of selected volume may be transferred from the collected blood component container and the first fluid flow path to the docking station for withdrawal into a sample collection container.
