Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods separate blood cells from whole blood and pump the separated blood cells through an in-line leukofilter to a blood cell storage container. The leukofilter has a filtration medium enclosed within a flexile housing. The systems and methods employ a fixture to restrain expansion of the flexible filter housing during operation of the pump. The fixture has a bracket to enable its releasable attachment to the blood processing device employed to carry out the separation process.
