Provided is a medical bag hanger that hangs a plurality of bags of a blood sampling line set. The medical bag hanger includes a hanger main body that is hangable on a blood component separation device. The hanger main body includes a hook unit on which the plurality of bags is hooked, and a base plate on the surface of which the plurality of bags of the blood sampling line set are arranged side by side.

The present invention discloses a sterile PRP separation kit that has compartmentalized container having a cover that allows for a stage-specific exposure of sterile components of the sterile PRP separation kit housed within stage-specific compartments to a non-sterile environment commensurate with a specific stage of operation of a separation process of PRP. The sterile PRP separation kit includes a PRP tube with segregated portals for injection of blood into the PRP tube, aspiration of PRP from the PRP tube, and for maintaining an interior pressure of the PRP tube at equilibrium with ambient pressure during both injection and aspiration.

The invention relates to a system, comprising: a) a sample processing unit, comprising an input port and an output port coupled to a rotating container having at least one sample chamber, the sample processing unit configured provide a first processing step to a sample or to rotate the container so as to apply a centrifugal force to a sample deposited in the chamber and separate at least a first component and a second component of the deposited sample; and b) a sample separation unit coupled to the output port of the sample processing unit, the cell separation unit comprising separation column holder (42), a pump (64) and a plurality of valves (1-11) configured to at least partially control fluid flow through a fluid circuitry and a separation column (40) positioned in the holder, the separation column configured to separate labeled and unlabeled components of sample flowed through the column.

The present invention relates to new plasma or new platelet-rich plasma preparations, new cell dissociation methods, new cell associations or compositions, a method of preparation thereof, a use thereof, devices for the preparation thereof and preparations containing such a platelet-rich plasma preparation and cell associations or compositions. Specifically, the invention provides plasma or platelet-rich plasma alone or in cell composition preparations for use in tissue regeneration and bone regeneration and pain reduction.

The present invention relates to a cytopheretic cartridge for use in treating and/or preventing inflammatory conditions that affect myocardial function and to related methods. The cartridge can be used in treating a subject with myocardial dysfunction, such as a subject with chronic heart failure and/or acute decompensated heart failure.

A medical device for separating a fluid, in particular for separating platelet-rich plasma from whole blood, includes three containers and at least one corresponding connection line having an intermediate bifurcation. Provided on the connection line are valve means for enabling or preventing a flow of fluid. At least one container includes a hollow container body and a plunger associated in a movable way to the container body. The device also includes a filtering member on the connection line.

Embodiments are described for separating collecting components from a multi-component fluid such as whole blood. Some embodiments provide for controlling the amount of a component, such as platelets, introduced into a separation chamber to ensure that the density of fluid in the separation chamber does not exceed a particular value. This may provide for collecting purer components. Other embodiments may provide for determining a chamber flow rate based on a concentration of a component in the multi-component fluid, which may then be used to determine a centrifuge speed, to collect purer concentrated components.
