ABSTRACT:
Automated apheresis apparatus and methods avoid unneeded collection and return of blood components. An operator "dials in" a desired amount of one or more blood components, whereupon the invention calculates the number of cycles necessary to achieve the target and directly implements an appropriate apheresis procedure. The invention may vary the volume of the separation chamber instead of, or in addition to, modifying the number of collection cycles in order to reach a target collection point. The invention may utilize a return procedure whereby, prior to the final collection cycle, only a portion of the contents of the separation chamber is returned to the donor; the returned portion is calculated such that filling the partly empty separation chamber on the last collection cycle results in just meeting the collection target. The invention may also monitor, in real-time, the amount of desired product actually collected during an apheresis cycle, and based thereon calculate the number of cycles necessary to reach the target level. Finally, the invention may continuously compare overall blood collection volumes with the volume of blood product actually obtained in order to compute (or verify) a machine collection efficiency for each type of blood product collected.
