Abstract
A system is provided for processing blood from a blood source. The system cooperates with a disposable fluid flow circuit including a tubing line that is associated with a clamp of the system. The system also includes a sensor and a controller, which cooperate to determine whether the fluid flow circuit and/or the system itself is defective and/or if the fluid flow circuit has been installed onto the system improperly. If such an error or defect exists, then the controller determines whether a selected system state exists. The controller causes a change in the appearance of the display of the system, which includes displaying an interactive icon if the selected system state exists. The icon, when manipulated, causes the clamp to move from the closed condition to an open condition.
