BLOOD PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH SENSORS TO DETECT CONTAMINATON

Application IN/PCT/2001/00471/MUM published 2006-12-08, filed 2001-04-26
Blood processing systems and methods employ two sensors (334, 336), one (334) to detect a condition of plasma exiting a separation device (18) and another sensor (336) to detect a condition of a cellular component exiting the separation device (18). The first sensor (334) detects, e.g., contamination of the plasma due to the presence of unwanted cellular components. The second sensor (336) detects, e.g., dilution of the cellular component due to presence of plasma. Blood processing parameters are carried out based, at least in part, by conditions detected by one or both of the sensors (334, 336).
