A medical device verification system for an extracorporeal photopheresis procedure comprises a reusable irradiation device comprising a UV light source and a scanner. A fluid circuit comprises a disposable cell suspension container having a photo-reactive label comprising an identifiable code. The identifiable code is unobscured when the label in a first state and is obscured when the label is in a second state. The irradiation step is performed by irradiating the disposable cell suspension container for a predetermined period of time at or above the threshold UV irradiation level. A second input is received from the scanner during the irradiation step, the second input comprising identification of a state of the label. A response action is provided if the first input comprises identification of the second state of the label and/or if the second input comprises identification of the first state of the label.

A fluid cassette, for example, a blood treatment cassette having a cassette body embodied as a hard part and, optionally, a film which is connected to the hard part and at least partially covers the hard part, wherein the hard part comprises at least one first alignment device, and a second alignment device which are optionally arranged at first and second opposite sides of the fluid cassette or are attached thereon. The disclosure relates in addition to a blood treatment apparatus.

The exemplary systems and methods may generate treatment records for extracorporeal blood treatments. The treatment records may include a plurality of values of various parameters. The various parameters may include a compulsory set of parameters that are preset, a dependent set of parameters that a dependent on one or more of a selected treatment and a system configuration, and a discretionary set of parameters that are selected by a user.

This extracorporeal circulation cassette is provided with: a blood circuit (10) comprising a flexible tube and having a blood tube access portion set in a predetermined position in a device; a dialysate circuit (12) comprising a flexible tube and having a dialysate tube access portion set in a predetermined position in the device; a first panel (4) and a second panel (6) that are rigid and that integrate the blood circuit (10) and the dialysate circuit (12) while sandwiching the blood circuit (10) and the dialysate circuit (12) from both sides; and a window portion formed in a part of at least one of the first panel (4) and the second panel (6), disposed in a predetermined position in the device. The blood tube access portion and the dialysate tube access portion are positioned in the window portion.

Graphical user interfaces for use with extracorporeal blood treatment systems may include a plurality of mini settings cards corresponding to a plurality of settings cards. The mini settings cards may display one or more user-interactable settings, and may be selected to display the corresponding settings card. Further, each settings card may be accessed in other ways to selection of mini settings card such as, for example, by selection of a process feature graphical element corresponding the settings card.

The exemplary systems and methods may generate treatment records for extracorporeal blood treatments. The treatment records may include a plurality of values of various parameters. The various parameters may include a compulsory set of parameters that are preset, a dependent set of parameters that a dependent on one or more of a selected treatment and a system configuration, and a discretionary set of parameters that are selected by a user.

A fluid separation system is provided for separating a plasma-containing fluid into separated plasma and a concentrated fluid. The system cooperates with a fluid flow circuit including a fluid separation chamber and a plasma outlet line associated therewith for removing separated plasma from the fluid separation chamber. The system includes an optical sensor assembly that receives a portion of the plasma outlet line when the fluid flow circuit has been associated with the fluid separation system. To ensure proper installation of the plasma outlet line, the optical sensor assembly compares light received by its light detector to a baseline value, which is indicative of the amount of light received by the light detector before the plasma outlet line has been installed. The amount of received light being equal to or less than a selected percentage of the baseline value indicates that the plasma outlet line has been properly installed.

Described are embodiments that include methods and devices for separating components from multi-component fluids. Embodiments may involve use of separation vessels and movement of components into and out of separation vessels through ports. Embodiments may involve the separation of plasma from whole blood. Also described are embodiments that include methods and devices for positioning portions, e.g., loops, of disposables in medical devices. Embodiments may involve use of surfaces for automatically guiding loops to position them into a predetermined position.

Systems and methods for the washing of biological fluid/biological cells are disclosed. The method provides for the automated dilution of the cell feed during the cell washing procedure using a separator in which the separator has a predetermined maximum output concentration for the biological cells that are being washed. The method further includes determining the concentration ratio of the biological cells to be washed in the washing procedure and determining a maximum input concentration as a function of the maximum output concentration and the concentration ratio. Wash solution is then added to dilute said biological cells so that the maximum input concentration of the diluted biological cells entering the separator is not exceeded.

Graphical user interfaces for use with extracorporeal blood treatment systems may include a plurality of mini settings cards corresponding to a plurality of settings cards. The mini settings cards may display one or more user-interactable settings, and may be selected to display the corresponding settings card. Further, each settings card may be accessed in other ways to selection of mini settings card such as, for example, by selection of a process feature graphical element corresponding the settings card.
