ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods take into account that the spleen normally holds a number of platelets in reserve out of circulation. During blood processing, the spleen releases these platelets into the donor's circulatory system, making them available for collection. The systems and methods estimate the number of platelets N.sub.SPLEEN held in reserve by the spleen in a human body. The systems and methods derives a splenic mobilization function (Spleen), which can be expressed as a function of a precount of platelets Plt.sub.PRE. The systems and methods estimate N.sub.SPLEEN where:
