A blood processing system includes a reuseable processing device and a single use fluid flow circuit. The reuseable hardware component includes a pump system, a valve system, and a centrifuge. The reuseable hardware component further includes a controller and holders for collection containers. The disposable fluid flow circuit includes a plurality of collection containers, a processing chamber received by the centrifuge and a plurality of conduits fluidly connecting the components of the fluid flow circuit. The controller is configured to command the pump system and the valve system to cooperate to convey whole blood from a blood source to the processing chamber and execute at least one blood processing procedure. The holders are configured so that the collection containers remain upright during the duration of the at least one blood processing procedure.
A blood processing system comprising:
The system of any of the preceding claims, wherein the device further includes a base and a top.
The system of any of the preceding claims, wherein the holders are cups formed in the base of the device.
The system of any of the preceding claims, further include a projection for holding at least one blood container.
The system of any of the preceding claims, wherein the collection containers include at least one of a red blood cell collection container, a buffy coat collection container, and a plasma collection container.
