Configurable methods and systems of growing and harvesting cells in a hollow fiber bioreactor system

A cell expansion system, the system comprising:

• a bioreactor;
• a processor;
• a display device, in communication with the processor, operable to display data;
• and
• a memory, in communication with and readable by the processor, and containing a series of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• provide a diagram view of the cell expansion system on the display device, wherein the diagram view is associated with a protocol to be configured on the cell expansion system, comprising:
• depict an intracapillary space of the bioreactor;
• depict an extracapillary space of the bioreactor;
• depict a first direction of a first fluid flow in the intracapillary space with a first visual indicator;
• depict a second direction of a second fluid flow in the extracapillary space with a second visual indicator;
• provide a first setting as a first graphical user interface (GUI) element;
• receive a first selection of the first GUI element to configure the first setting;
• receive an input associated with the first GUI element;
• and
• execute the protocol, using the input for the first setting, with the cell expansion system.

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium storing executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, perform a method of configuring a cell expansion system, the method comprising:

• receiving an indication, in a user interface of a display device associated with the cell expansion system, to configure a protocol for use with the cell expansion system, wherein the cell expansion system comprises a bioreactor;
• in response to receiving the indication, providing a diagram view of the cell expansion system on the user interface, wherein the diagram view is associated with the protocol to be configured, and wherein providing the diagram view comprises:
• depicting an intracapillary side of the bioreactor;
• depicting an extracapillary side of the bioreactor;
• depicting a first direction of a first fluid flow in the intracapillary side with a first visual indicator;
• depicting a second direction of a second fluid flow in the extracapillary side with a second visual indicator;
• providing a first setting as a first graphical user interface (GUI) element;
• enabling the first GUI element for selection;
• receiving a first selection of the first GUI element to configure the first setting;
• receiving a first value for the first setting;
• and
• executing the protocol using the first value for the first setting.
