Synthetic storage media are disclosed for use in the processing and the storing of platelets. The storage media includes a platelet storage solution and less than 20 percent plasma to preserve platelet function after at least 7 days of storage.

Medium and methods for the storage of platelets

A blood or blood component collection and processing system, apparatus and method are disclosed. One embodiment includes a vascular access device and a blood collection container having a blood inlet and first and second blood component outlets. The outlets are located at opposite ends of the container, and a blood flow conduit extends between the vascular access device and collection container. The collection container is free of attachment to other blood collection containers when in an initial collection configuration at the time of collection.

Single collection bag blood collection system, method and apparatus

Synthetic aqueous storage solutions are disclosed for use in the processing and the storing of red blood cells prepared from whole blood including cells derived from whole blood held for an extended period at room temperature.

Red blood cell storage medium for extended storage

A confined air tube is intended to be placed into in-line communication with the transfer tubing of a blood processing system. The confined air tube provides an incremental volume of air, which keeps the transfer tubing from collapsing and sticking together during heat sterilization. After sterilization, the confined air tube accommodates conveyance of a blood component into an associated downstream transfer container. The confined air tube can also receive air vented from the transfer container, so that the blood component can undergo further processing or be stored in an air-depleted environment within the transfer container.

Confined air tube and methods for handling air in closed blood processing systems

Systems and methods treat plasma by separating targeted blood cell species such as red blood cells and platelets from the plasma by filtration through hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes.

Systems and methods for collecting plasma that is free or virtually free of cellular blood species

The present invention provides an improved aqueous solution for suspending and storing red blood cells. The solution includes sodium citrate, a combination of sodium biphosphate and sodium phosphate dibasic, adenine, and mannitol. The solution is formulated at a low osmolarity and has a physiological pH of approximately 7.4. The solution simultaneously maintains stored red cells ATP and 2,3-BPG. Also disclosed is a method for storing red blood cells comprising adding an anticoagulant with a reduced citrate concentration compared to a CPD solution comprising 26.3 g/l, sodium citrate and 3.28 g/l citric acid hydrous to whole blood, separating the red cells and adding a storage solution comprising sodium citrate, sodium diphosphate, sodium phosphate dibasic, adenine and mannitol.

Method for storing red cells using reduced citrate anticoagulant and a

A blood sampling system having an in-line sampling member is provided. The member includes a frangible joint located along the length thereof providing an easily openable port for directly sampling a donor's blood during blood collection into a collection bag. In further embodiments, an integral clamping system can be provided with the sampling member for temporarily cutting off flow of blood from a donor.
