PLASMA COLLECTION BASED ON DONOR EXTRACELLULAR FLUID

A system and method for collecting plasma comprises a control circuit configured to control operation of the system, the control circuit configured to receive one or more donor parameters. The control circuit estimates a physiological fluid amount of the donor based at least in part on the one or more donor parameters and calculates a target amount of plasma product comprising raw plasma and anticoagulant by multiplying a prestored constant by the estimated physiological fluid amount. The control circuit controls the system to operate draw and return phases to process whole blood into plasma product until a measured amount of plasma product in the collection container meets the target amount of plasma product.
