This disclosure relates to a method and system for fast freezing of a biological product (such as blood plasma) contained in an individual bag or a plurality of bags. This disclosure relates to a method and system for freezing plasma in an individual bag or a plurality of bags, favoring bottom-up ice-growth, by implementing a differential air flow on top and bottom surfaces of a horizontally placed bag or bags filled with plasma. This disclosure relates to a method and a differential air flow system for freezing plasma, wherein the heat transfer coefficient on a bottom of a bag is at least 10 times larger than at a top. This disclosure relates to a differential air flow system and method for freezing plasma, wherein the differential air flow on top and bottom surfaces of a plasma bag is imposed by at least one fan or blower.

Disclosed is a multiple bag system for fractionating blood, the system including a fluid collecting bag including at least one outlet port; at least first and second sampling bags, each including at least one inlet port and at least one outlet port; and a unit for transferring fluid from the fluid collecting bag to the sampling bags; wherein the unit for transferring fluid includes an acoustic sorter. Also disclosed is a method for fractionating blood into blood products.

Modular blood product storage system for temperature-regulated storage of blood products with a temperature regulation unit for temperature regulation of the blood product storage system, a base unit and at least one agitator unit with an upper connection side, a lower connection side, a movable compartment to receive the blood products and a drive for movement of the compartment, wherein the compartment is arranged between the upper connection side and the lower connection side, wherein the upper connection side of the agitator unit is selectively connectable to the temperature regulation unit or a further agitator unit, and wherein the lower connection side of the agitator unit is selectively connectable to the base unit or a further agitator unit.

A system and method of tracking, assigning and releasing biological fluids. The system and method identifies, assigns and releases biological fluid products from controlled storage based on medical criteria supported by the use of RFID technology.

A method includes receiving, with an apheresis system, data associated with a donor; determining, based on the data associated with a donor, an identification of the donor; receiving, with the apheresis system, data associated with a blood component collection set; receiving, with the apheresis system, data associated with a plasma collection bottle; and performing, with the apheresis system, a plasma donation process based on the identification of the donor, the data associated with the blood component set, and the data associated with the plasma collection bottle. Receiving the data associated with the donor may include scanning, with a scanner, an image. The scanner is disposed on the apheresis system and the image may include one of a one-dimensional barcode or a two-dimensional barcode. The data associated with the donor may be displayed on a user device.

A method for providing remote blood-related healthcare, and more specifically, a method for providing blood transfusion treatment in a rehabilitation nursing home or skilled care facility is disclosed. The method receives call orders to provide services, dispatches to a skilled nursing facility to meet a patient, picks up blood products from a blood bank, travels to the skilled nursing facility, preforms pre-transfusion checks, transfuses blood products. and entering post transfusion document notes.

A system for splitting a fluid includes a source support configured to support a source container and a satellite support configured to support a satellite container fluidly connected to the source container. A weight scale is associated with each of the supports. The system also includes a clamp system and a controller. The controller determines a plurality of possible distributions of the fluid between the source container and the satellite container based at least in part on the concentration or amount of said constituent and the combined weight measured by each weight scale, then controls the clamp system to selectively allow and prevent fluid flow from the source container to the satellite container so as to distribute the fluid between the source container and the satellite container according to one of the distributions, with at least one of the possible distributions being an uneven distribution of the fluid.

The present invention relates to an X-ray irradiator for single blood bags, comprising: an X-ray irradiator main body provided with a chamber configured to safely hold a single blood bag therein and an X-ray tube configured to irradiate the chamber with X-rays; a loading part configured to load the blood bag; and a transfer part configured to transfer the blood bag between the loading part and the chamber to which X-rays are to be emitted. The X-ray irradiator for single blood bags according to the present invention can treat a single blood bag with X-rays, such that treatment optimized for a small amount of a blood bag can be performed, and a system configuration can be simplified by using an X-ray tube.

Embodiments of methods, systems, and apparatuses for lyophilizing, storing, and transfusing materials are described. In embodiments, the materials may include whole blood or a component of whole blood such as plasma.
