Abstract
A multipurpose blood processing bag is described for a system in which anticoagulant and whole blood are mixed outside of the prior art anticoagulated whole blood bag in order to minimize collection lesion. In this system, whole blood and anticoagulant from a multipurpose container are mixed at the phlebotomy needle and the anticoagulated whole blood passed to the anticoagulated whole blood bag. The anticoagulated whole blood may then be separated in a pheresis procedure into components such as plasma or platelets and the separated components stored in the (now empty) multipurpose container.
