Patent ID: 10906049

Abstract:
A system for the processing and separation of biological fluids into components comprises an apparatus that cooperates with a disposable set, comprising a cabinet (100) for housing a hollow centrifugal processing chamber (20) of the disposable set. The cabinet comprises a plurality of side-by-side locations (110) for receiving a corresponding plurality of centrifugal processing chambers (20) in side-by-side spaced-apart relation. Each location comprises an individual drive means (52) for driving its centrifugal processing chamber. Remotely-actuable valves (124) associated with the disposable sets are located on the apparatus' cabinet in the proximity of said locations. Valve actuation provides a display of the state of actuation of the valves (124). Selection of this state of actuation is arranged to control connection of the centrifugal processing chamber (20) of each fitted disposable set with a flexible container (200) of the same disposable set or another container, and to control connection of the centrifugal processing chambers (20) with flexible containers of the same or other fitted disposable sets in different combinations, in particular with series and/or parallel connections.
