A blood bag system is provided with a liquid drug bag having an internal storage space in which a liquid drug is stored, and a third tube that is connected to the liquid drug bag and has a flow path therein connected to the storage space. A retention mechanism for separably retaining the liquid drug bag and the third tube is provided between the outer surface of the liquid drug bag and the outer peripheral surface of the third tube. The third tube can thus be inserted together with the liquid drug bag when the liquid drug bag is accommodated in a liquid drug bag pocket of a centrifugal transport device.

A tube winding bobbin is accommodated in a segment pocket of a centrifugation transfer device in which a blood bag system is set. The blood bag system is provided with a plurality of sealed tubes which extend for a predetermined length and which have an occluded lumen therein. The tube winding bobbin has a winding part around which the plurality of sealed tubes are wound, a pair of side parts connected to both ends of the winding part, and an engagement part engageable with a wall part constituting the segment pocket.

A blood bag system includes a PPP bag and a liquid drug bag which are accommodated adjacent to each other in pockets of a centrifugal drum of a centrifugal transport device. In addition, the blood bag system includes a retaining portion that retains the PPP bag and the liquid drug bag together, and includes a cassette accommodated in the pockets in a retaining state of the retaining portion. The cassette has a detachment mechanism capable of detaching at least the PPP bag.

A blood bag system is provided with a PPP bag that is accommodated in a PPP bag pocket, and a liquid drug bag that is accommodated in a liquid drug bag pocket provided adjacent to the PPP bag pocket. The PPP bag includes a first internal space and a seal part that seals the periphery of the first internal space. The liquid drug bag includes a second internal space and a seal part that seals the periphery of the second internal space. A connection part that separably connects the seal part and the seal part is provided there between.

A blood bag system includes a blood bag having a storage space for storing blood, a first tube that is connected to the blood bag and has a first flow path for communicating with the storage space, and a sealing member that is provided in the first tube and opens the first flow path by a breaking action. The first tube includes, at a position near the sealing member, an engagement portion for engaging with a centrifugal transport device with the sealing member disposed at the position where the breaking action is performed.

A clamp of a blood bag system has a first clamp mechanism for closing a second flow path of a second tube, and a second clamp mechanism for closing a third flow path of a third tube. The first clamp mechanism is configured not to open the second flow path of the second tube once closed, and the second clamp mechanism is configured to open the third flow path of the closed third tube.

This automated analysis device is provided with a plurality of analysis units for analyzing a specimen, a buffer portion which holds a plurality of specimen racks on which are placed specimen containers holding the specimen, a sampler portion which conveys the specimen racks held in the buffer portion to the analysis units, and a control portion which, when performing a process to deliver the specimen racks to the plurality of analysis units, outputs synchronization signals to all the plurality of analysis units, wherein the analysis unit performs a delivery process starting from the synchronization signal, and the analysis unit performs a delivery process starting from the synchronization signal.

A device for extracting plasma from a fluid collection tube comprising: a tubular barrel having sidewall surrounding a lumen which extends between proximal and distal ends thereof, the tubular barrel forming a tip at a distal end; a barrel seal movingly seated within the lumen of the tubular barrel, the barrel seal closing and sealing the proximal end of the tubular barrel; a tube seal having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending therebetween, the proximal end having a frustoconical or chamfered face, the tube seal having an outer diameter sized to sealingly engage with an inner surface of the fluid collection tube, and an inner diameter sized to sealingly engage with an outer surface of the tip of the tubular barrel, the tube seal mounted on the tubular barrel such that the tip of the tubular barrel extends into the tube seal lumen.

A body fluid component separating device according to an embodiment may comprise: a housing; a piston which divides the housing into a first space and a second space and connects the first space and the second space via fluid-connection; and a manipulator which is coupled to the piston to be operable and is configured to maintain a pressure balance between the first space and the second space, adjust movement of the piston between a first location at which the first space has a first volume and a second location at which the first space has a second volume that is different from the first volume, and fix the piston on an arbitrary location between the first location and the second location.

The present disclosure relates to Oxygen Reduction Disposable kits (ORDKit), devices and methods for the improved preservation of whole blood and blood components. The improved devices and methods for the collection of blood and blood components provide for whole blood and blood components having reduced levels of oxygen. The devices and methods provide for the rapid preparation of deoxygenated blood and blood components for storage that improves the overall quality of the transfused blood and improves health outcomes in patients.
