Abstract
A medical system may include a separation device configured to separate a material received from a source into two or more components, a post-processing unit in fluid communication with the separation device and configured to isolate at least one of the two or more components, and a controller configured to manage operation of the separation device to separate the material received from the source into the two or more components, to cause the two or more components to move to the post-processing unit, and to return the isolated at least one of the two or more components to the separation device.
Claims29
A medical system comprising:
- a separation device configured to separate a material received from a source into two or more components;
- a post-processing unit in fluid communication with the separation device and configured to isolate at least one of the two or more components;
- and
- a controller configured to manage operation of the separation device to separate the material received from the source into the two or more components, to cause the two or more components to move to the post-processing unit, and to return the isolated at least one of the two or more components to the separation device.
A therapeutic system comprising:
- a flow path fluidically connecting a separation device and a post-processing device, the separation device configured to separate a material received from a source into two or more components, and the post-processing device configured to isolate at least one of the two or more components.
A connectivity set for connecting a separation device and a post-processing unit, the connectivity set comprising:
- a first tube collection including a first tube length having a first end and a second end, the first end of the first tube length being couplable to the separation device, the second end of the first tube length being couplable to the post-processing unit;
- and
- a second tube collection including a second tube length having a first end and a second end, the first end of the second tube length being couplable to the post-processing unit and the second end of the second tube length being couplable to the separation device,
- wherein the separation device is configured to separate a material received from a source into two or more components, and the post-processing unit is configured to isolate at least one of the two or more components.
A connectivity set for connecting a separation device and a post-processing unit, the connectivity set comprising:
- a first tube length having a first end and a second end, the first end of the first tube length being couplable to a first bag;
- a second tube length having a first end and a second end, the first end of the second tube length being couplable to the second end of the first tube length, and the second end of the second tube length being couplable to a first end of the post-processing unit;
- a third tube length having a first end and a second end, the first end of the third tube length being couplable to the second end of the first tube length;
- a fourth tube length having a first end and a second end, the first end of the fourth tube length being couplable to the second end of the third tube length, and the second end of the fourth tube length being couplable to a second bag;
- and
- a fifth tube length having a first end and a second end, the first end of the fifth tube length being couplable to a second end of the post-processing unit, and the second end of the fifth tube length being couplable to one or more other components of the separation device.
