Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a blood bag system and a cassette for centrifuging and separating a buffy coat from whole blood. The system includes a first bag for reserving whole blood or a blood component, a filter for removing predetermined cells, a first tube for connecting the first bag and the inlet of the filter, a second tube for connecting the second bag and the outlet of the filter, and two clamps for opening and closing the tubes. The cassette includes a part of the first and second tubes, and the clamps are pre-mounted in the cassette. This simplifies the procedure of mounting the cassette in the centrifugation and separation apparatus. The technical effects of the invention include easy and accurate mounting of the blood bag system and cassette, and simplification of the procedure of centrifugation and separation.

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, two special purpose apparatuses are needed therefor, with troublesome operations.
This leads to a complicated procedure as well as a fear of mismounting.

first embodiment

[0054]Next, the blood bag system 10a and the cassette 50a will be described below. As shown in FIG. 4, the blood bag system 10a comprises a multiple bag 52 and a cassette 50a.

[0055]As shown in FIG. 5, the multiple bag 52 includes the BC pooling bag 54 in which a buffy coat (blood component) is reserved and in which the buffy coat is centrifuged into a supernatant liquid (blood component) and a sedimentary liquid by the centrifugal drum 14, a filter 56 for removing white blood cells (predetermined cells) from the supernatant liquid transferred by pressing the BC pooling bag 54 by the presser 20, the platelet reserving bag 58 for reserving the supernatant liquid obtained upon removal of white blood cells by the filter 56, a first tube 60 for connecting the

[0056]BC pooling bag 54 and an inlet 56a of the filter 56, and a second tube 62 for connecting the platelet reserving bag 58 and an outlet 56b of the filter 56. The filter 56 preferably is provided with a mark thereon, which is ind...

second embodiment

[0139]Next, a blood bag system 10b and a cassette 50b will be described below. Components of the blood bag system 10b (and each of 10c and 10d) and the cassette 50b (and each of 50c and 50d), which are the same as those of the above-described blood bag system 10a and cassette 50a, are denoted by the same reference characters used above, and detailed descriptions of such features are omitted.

[0140]The blood bag system 10b includes the cassette 50b and a multiple bag 52. The multiple bag 52 is basically the same as that used in the blood bag system 10a, except that a first tube 60 and a second tube 62 are provided together with a first clamp 200 and a second clamp 202.

[0141]As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, in place of the above-described first clamp section 106 and second clamp section 108 (see FIG. 4), the blood bag system 10b has the first clamp 200 and the second clamp 202, as well as a first clamp operating section 204 and a second clamp operating section 206, for operating and placi...

third embodiment

[0154]As shown in FIG. 18, a blood bag system 10c and a cassette 50c have respective configurations, which are obtained by omitting the arch section 102 and the filter holder 104 from the above-described blood bag system 10a and cassette 50a.

Abstract

A blood bag system includes a BC pooling bag for centrifugation of a buffy coat, a filter for removing white blood cells from a supernatant liquid transferred from the BC pooling bag, a platelet preserving bag for reserving the supernatant liquid that has passed through the filter, a first tube connecting the BC pooling bag and an inlet of the filter, a second tube connecting the platelet preserving bag and an outlet of the filter, and a cassette to be fixed in the centrifugation and separation apparatus. The first tube and the second tube are disposed within the cassette. The cassette includes a first clamp section for closing and opening the first tube, and a second clamp section for closing and opening the second tube.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001]The present invention relates to a blood bag system and a cassette to be mounted in a centrifugation and separation apparatus or the like, for centrifuging whole blood or a blood component (buffy coat or the like) prepared from whole blood into a supernatant liquid and a sedimentary liquid and transferring the supernatant liquid.BACKGROUND ART [0002]Hitherto, whole blood transfusion in which all the components of blood obtained by blood donation are subjected to transfusion has been the mainstream of blood transfusion. Attendant on the recent progress of technologies, however, blood component transfusion has come to be conducted in which the obtained blood is divided into blood components, such as red blood cells, platelets and plasma, and only the blood component needed by a patient is subjected to transfusion. With blood component transfusion, it is possible to alleviate the burden on the patient's circulatory system and other side effects, and effective util...
