Control system for driving fluids through an extracorporeal blood circuit

A system for driving blood fluids through an extracorporeal blood circuit kit comprising:

• a controller;
• a base portion having a top having a deck for receiving and controlling a cassette for directing fluid flow through the kit;
• an upper portion atop the top;
• and
• a centrifuge chamber within the upper portion.

A system for driving blood fluids through an extracorporeal blood circuit kit comprising:

• a controller;
• a base portion having a top surface having a deck for receiving and controlling a cassette for directing fluid flow through the kit;
• an upper portion atop the top surface;
• a centrifuge chamber within the upper portion.
• a photoactivation chamber for receiving an irradiation chamber of the kit, the photoactivation vertically oriented and located in the base portion below the deck;
• a first leak detector in the photoactivation chamber and a second leak detector in the centrifuge chamber;
• wherein a height of the system is less than about 60 inches;
• five peristaltic pumps for driving fluid flow through the kit on the deck;
• one or more catches for receiving a corresponding tab of the cassette, and one or more rotating clamps for engaging and securing the cassette to the deck;
• a plurality of compression actuators for closing off fluid passageways of the kit by compressing a portion flexible tube;
• means to hang a plurality of fluid bags;
• means to authenticate a unique identifier associated with the kit, the authentication means coupled to the controller;
• and
• an infrared communication port.
