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.

A washed platelet having a sufficiently low blood plasma content rate is more securely and efficiently obtained. A tertiary separator (42) includes a main body (58) which has a third chamber (52) and is formed as an accommodating portion (54a) accommodating a centrifuged platelet (104), an inlet (77c) which allows a platelet containing component (100) and a platelet added solution (102) to flow in, and an outlet (78a) which allows blood plasma, the platelet added solution (102), and the platelet (104) to flow out. A bottom portion (first bottom portion (60)) of at least a portion forming the accommodating portion (54a) in a wall portion included in the main body (58) is formed of a soft material.

A system and method for balancing flows of renal replacement fluid is disclosed. The method uses pressure controls and pressure sensing devices to more precisely meter and balance the flow of fresh dialysate and spent dialysate. The balancing system may use one or two balancing devices, such as a balance tube, a tortuous path, or a balance chamber.

A system for perfusing a localized site within a body includes a catheter assembly having a venous access line that is adapted to deliver perfusate to the localized site, a venous or arterial drainage line adapted to drain perfusate from the localized site, and an occlusion device adapted to prevent some or substantially all physiological blood flow between the localized site and the systemic circulation of the body during and in the course of perfusing and draining perfusate to and from the localized site. The system may include a blood circuit associated with the catheter assembly to facilitate blood conditioning for use as the perfusate, in the course of a controlled perfusion and/or drainage of untreated, treated, or inactivated treated blood to and from the localized site. A delivery machine may control the blood circuit and catheter assembly in order to both deliver perfusate to, and drain some or all perfusate from, the localized site in a manner that provides perfusate to substantially only the localized site.

The invention relates to a system for treating blood, which includes a single cassette capable of carrying out the various CRRT treatments.

The invention relates to a medical treatment device comprising a fluid system, which has a monitoring apparatus 27 for monitoring the treatment device, wherein the monitoring apparatus 27 is configured such that monitoring is based on the evaluation of the pressure in the fluid system of the medical treatment device. The invention further relates to a method for monitoring a medical treatment device, in which monitoring is based on the evaluation of the pressure in the fluid system. The treatment device is characterised by a compliance-determining apparatus 28 for determining the compliance in the fluid system, part of the fluid system or parts of the fluid system, wherein the compliance-determining apparatus 28 cooperates with the monitoring apparatus 27 in such a manner that the pressure-based monitoring takes place depending on the compliance of the fluid system.
