Abstract:
A continuous flow centrifuge bowl includes a rotatable outer body, and a top and bottom core that are rotatable with the outer body. The bottom core has a wall extending proximally from a bottom wall. The proximally extending wall is radially outward from at least a portion of the top core and, together with the top core, defines a primary separation region in which initial separation of the whole blood occurs. The bowl may also have a secondary separation region located between the top core and the outer body, and a rotary seal that couples an inlet port and two outlet ports to the outer body. The inlet port may be connected to an inlet tube that extends distally into a whole blood introduction region. Additionally, one of the outlet ports may be connected to an extraction tube that extends into a region below the bottom core.

Claim (Index 17):
A centrifuge bowl according to  claim 1 , further comprising a weir disk extending inward from the neck portion of the outer body, the second blood component flowing over the weir disk into the neck portion of the outer body prior to exiting the centrifuge bowl via the second blood component outlet port.
