Zusammenfassung:	Apparatus and methods for point-of-care red blood cell washing are disclosed. One method of filtering a suspension of red blood cells may generally comprise introducing a wash solution to the suspension of red blood cells such that a combined volume is retained within a first compartment, applying a sweeping action upon the volume, applying a pressure upon the volume while applying the sweeping action such that the volume is urged through a filter membrane at a predetermined filtration rate, maintaining the filtration rate over a predetermined period of time such that hemolysis is maintained below a threshold level, and collecting the volume within a second compartment.
