Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for separating blood components from whole blood. A blood processing device, as part of a blood processing system, has a controller configured to operate the blood processing device based on a plurality of collection protocols. The blood processing device is wirelessly connected to a remote computing device configured to maintain a plurality of collection protocols. At least one additional computing device is configured to update one or more of the plurality of collection protocols on said remote computing device by communicating changes to a protocol maintained on the remote computing device which updates the plurality of collection protocols at the controller of the blood processing device.
Claims11
A blood processing system, comprising:
- a blood processing device with a controller configured to operate the blood processing device based on a plurality of collection protocols;
- a remote computing device wirelessly connected to the blood processing device, said remote computing device configured to maintain a plurality of collection protocols from a variety of manufacturers, which can be accessed by an operator when operating the blood processing device;
- and
- at least one additional computing device, accessible by at least one of the variety of manufacturers, which is configured to generate a collection protocol and transfer the collection protocol to the remote computing device;
- wherein the at least one additional computing device is configured to update one or more of the plurality of collection protocols on said remote computing device by communicating changes to a protocol maintained on the remote computing device which updates the plurality of collection protocols at the controller of the blood processing device.
