Packaging Tray for a Blood Processing Kit

A blood processing device comprising:

• device components arranged on a component surface;
• a holder configured to support one or more fluid containers;
• and
• a packaging tray configured to be selectively arranged on and removable from the component surface, the packaging tray comprising:
• a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and spaced apart by a thickness;
• component sections arranged at positions corresponding to positions of respective device components, the component sections respectively formed, at least partially, as openings extending through the thickness;
• and
• a plurality of recessed pathways formed on the first surface, the recessed pathways extending between the component sections.
