Abstract:
A system for removing undesirable elements from blood. The system includes a centrifuge bowl to separate the blood into components according to relative densities of the components, a pump to provide wash solution that washes the blood in the centrifuge bowl, and a controller to wash the blood in the centrifuge bowl in a first wash and remove first undesirable elements and to wash the blood in the centrifuge bowl in a second wash and remove trapped undesirable elements. The controller to further mix the blood and the wash solution in the centrifuge bowl and provide diluted blood, separate the diluted blood into concentrated blood and the wash solution, fill the centrifuge bowl with previously concentrated blood to build a buffy coat, and empty the centrifuge bowl of the concentrated blood and the previously concentrated blood after the buffy coat is reached.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for removing undesirable elements from blood, comprising:\n filling a centrifuge bowl with the blood; separating the blood into components according to relative densities of the components using the centrifuge bowl; adding a first amount of the wash solution to the centrifuge bowl using a pump; washing the blood in the centrifuge bowl in a first wash step to remove a portion of the undesirable elements and to obtain a first concentrated blood component; mixing the first concentrated blood component and a remaining amount of the wash solution with the centrifuge bowl to provide a diluted blood component; removing a portion of the diluted blood component from the centrifuge bowl such that the centrifuge bowl is partially full;\n separating the diluted blood component into a second concentrated blood component and the remaining amount of the wash solution with the centrifuge bowl; \n filling the centrifuge bowl with a previously concentrated blood component from a container with the pump; and emptying the centrifuge bowl of the second concentrated blood component and the previously concentrated blood component from the container with the pump.
