Bag system for collecting and sampling a biological fluid

A bag system for collecting and sampling a biological fluid from a donor comprising:

• a collection bag for collecting the biological fluid;
• a first tube connected at a first end to a collection means and at a second end to the collection bag;
• a flexible sampling bag defining an internal volume, the internal volume having a bottom side and an introduction side having an inlet orifice;
• and
• a second tube having a first end connected to the first tube and a second end inserted into the inlet orifice of the sampling bag,
• wherein the second end of the second tube extends into the internal volume of the sampling bag over a distance between 25% and 60% of the distance between the bottom side and the introduction side of the internal volume;
• and
• wherein the biological fluid comprises blood or a blood component.

• a satellite bag system;
• at least one satellite tube connected at a first end to the satellite bag system and connected at a second end to the collecting bag;
• and
• a lateral sampling device connected to the second tube outside of the sampling bag and operable to allow the collection of biological fluid samples from the sampling bag.
