ABSTRACT:
An improved device and process of assuring separation of an anticoagulant type fluid from a saline type fluid each of which is utilized in the process and operation of a plasmapheresis apparatus or the process of collecting donor blood, is disclosed. The improvement includes a cross-spike prevention receptacle which is dimensioned, and installed positionally in reference to a plasmapheresis or blood donor apparatus, to receive an anticoagulant fluid container to which a proper respective supply communication line will connect, and to exclude and not receive a saline fluid container or container holding a similiar type of fluid, whose fluid line will not reach and connect to the installed cross-spike prevention receptacle. As a part of the process and concepts of the invention the supply containers or bags of fluids which are supplied for use with the invention are provided so that the respective anticoagulant bags are smaller in volume capacity and size than the respective saline solution container bags used in the plasmapheresis or blood collection process, and the bags are dimensioned so that the saline container or bag will not fit into the cross-spike prevention receptacle even upon substantial forcing or where such force would cause rupture of the container or would otherwise result in a container in a condition which could not be reasonably used with respect to the plasmapheresis or blood collection process.
