Abstract
Methods and systems for transfusing reduced-volume blood components are disclosed. Previously collected blood components are introduced into a fluid circuit associated with an apparatus that further separates the component into a reduced volume component and supernatant. The reduced-volume blood component is transfused to the patient in need of the component without the risk of circulatory overload.
