Abstract
A method for creating a custom cell processing protocol includes providing a cell processing device having a display, a blood component separation device, and a pump. The method may then select, using the display, a first and second processing phase. The first processing phase has a plurality of first processing phase parameters and the second processing phase has a plurality of second processing phase parameters. The method may then modify the first and second processing phase parameters using the display, and create a custom protocol algorithm. The algorithm may be based, at least in part, on the selected first and second processing phases and the modified first and second processing phase parameters.
Claims10
A method for creating a custom cell processing protocol comprising:
- (a) providing a cell processing device, the cell processing device having a display, a blood component separation device, a plurality of valves, one or more sensors to detect one or more fluid levels, and a pump;
- (b) performing a cell processing procedure on the cell processing device;
- (c) manually controlling the operation of the cell processing device during the cell processing procedure;
- (d) monitoring, using a processor within the cell processing device, the manual control of the operation of the cell processing device during the cell processing procedure;
- and
- (e) creating a custom protocol algorithm based, at least in part, on the monitored manual control of the operation of the cell processing device and including one or more modified phase parameters for the cell processing procedure,
- wherein the cell processing device performs a cell processing procedure based on the custom protocol algorithm to control operation of the blood component separation device and the pump and uses the one or more sensors to detect one or more fluid levels associated with the modified one or more phase parameters during the performance of the modified cell processing procedure.
A system for creating a custom cell processing protocol comprising:
- a cell processing device configured to process blood and/or blood products, the cell processing device having a blood component separation device, a plurality of valves, one or more sensors to detect one or more fluid levels and a pump;
- an interface located on the cell processing device and configured to allow a user to place the cell processing device into a learning mode, the user manually controlling the operation of the cell processing device during a cell processing procedure when in the learning mode;
- and
- a processor configured to monitor the manual control of the operation of the cell processing device during the cell processing procedure when in the learning mode, and generate a custom protocol algorithm that includes one or more modified phase parameters for the cell processing procedure based, at least in part on the monitored manual control of the operation of the cell processing device,
- wherein the cell processing device performs a cell processing procedure based on the custom protocol algorithm to control operation of the blood component separation device and the pump and uses the one or more sensors to detect one or more fluid levels associated with the modified one or more phase parameters during the performance of the modified cell processing procedure.
