Abstract
A blood reservoir (20) for storing blood includes a first storage section (21), a second storage section (22), and a third storage section (23) that is provided between the first storage section and the second storage section, and communicates with the first storage section and the second storage section. A volume of the blood reservoir (20) can be adjusted by changing the amount of expansion or contraction of a bellows structure (28) using a bellows adjustment mechanism (83, 93).
Claims22
A blood component separation device that comprises a blood reservoir for storing blood and is used for centrifugation of blood stored in the blood reservoir,
- wherein the blood reservoir comprises a first storage section, a second storage section, and a third storage section that is provided between the first storage section and the second storage section, and communicates with the first storage section and the second storage section,
- wherein the blood component separation device further comprises a bellows structure provided on the blood reservoir and a bellows adjustment mechanism for adjusting an amount of expansion or contraction of the bellows structure, and
- wherein a volume of the blood reservoir can be adjusted by changing the amount of expansion or contraction of the bellows structure using the bellows adjustment mechanism.
