Systems and methods of delivering a dilated slurry to a patient

A system for delivering to a patient a cell-slurry comprising a fluid and cells which are non-dissolvable or immiscible in the fluid, the system comprising:

• a container initially containing the cell-slurry and a supernate of the cell-slurry;
• a syringe adapted to contain the cell-slurry after dilation with the supernate;
• a fluid path between the syringe and the cell-slurry and the supernate in the container, the fluid path comprising a needle at least partially disposed in the cell-slurry and the supernate in the container and tubing fluidly connecting the needle to the syringe;
• a plunger disposed in the syringe and adapted to create pressure in the syringe to cause a dilated cell-slurry contained within the container to flow into the syringe through the fluid path;
• a fluidizing system comprising a holder adapted to move the needle to affect dilation of the cell-slurry with a portion of the supernate to form the dilated cell-slurry, the holder and the needle imparting agitating movement to the cell-slurry and the supernate in the container to affect the dilation of the cell-slurry with the supernate;
• and
• a control unit in communication with and adapted to control the fluidizing system and the plunger.
