Zusammenfassung: | A system for washing red blood cells, comprising a separator configured to separate a quantity of blood into concentrated red blood cells having a hematocrit of at least 60% and a volume of 150-250 mL, and a supernatant component. The system comprises a flow controller configured to remove the supernatant component to provide an initial red blood cell concentrate; combine 50-500 mL of an additive solution with the red blood cell concentrate to provide an intermediate red blood cell product intended for storage for 42 days or less; and wash the intermediate red blood cell product with a washing solution. |
