Patent number: 11938261Abstract: Embodiments are described for treating a fluid, e.g., a biological fluid. The embodiments may include systems, apparatuses, and methods. Embodiments may provide for a flow cell, with a plurality of manipulation elements, through which a fluid is flowed. The fluid may be treated (e.g., exposed to energy) as it moves through the flow cell. In embodiments, the flow cell may be used to inactivate pathogens in the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Terumo BCT Biotechnologies, LLCInventors: Jon A. Dodd, Daniel R. Clement, Dennis J. Hlavinka, Jeremy T. Parsons, Haralambos P. Apostolopoulos

Configurable methods and systems of growing and harvesting cells in a hollow fiber bioreactor system
Patent number: 11773363Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to methods and systems for configuring settings of a cell expansion system including a bioreactor. Through a user interface, a user may configure display settings, system settings, and settings associated with protocols for loading, growing and/or harvesting cells. In configuring settings for protocols and associated processes, a diagram view or window of the cell expansion system is displayed in embodiments. The diagram view displays the process settings as graphical user interface elements. Settings available for configuration are enabled for selection in the diagram view. The diagram view allows the user to visualize the settings available for task configuration and to configure enabled settings. Configured settings are stored and capable of retrieval for subsequent execution or modification of the applicable protocol.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Terumo BCT, Inc.Inventors: Edward Allan Stanton, IV, Glen Delbert Antwiler, Patrick J.

Patent number: 11746319Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to methods and systems for customizing protocols for use with a cell expansion system. Through a user interface, a user may create a custom task for loading, growing and/or harvesting cells. A custom task may comprise one or more steps, in which a user may add or omit steps, as desired. Data may be entered for settings associated with a custom task, in which embodiments provide for such data to be entered each time the custom task is performed. In another embodiment, the settings for a custom task may be configured, in which such settings may be stored and retrieved upon selection of the custom task. Customization and configuration of a custom task may occur using a diagram view of the cell expansion system, in which process settings are associated with graphical user interface elements.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Terumo BCT, Inc.Inventors: Edward Allan Stanton, IV, Glen Delbert Antwiler, Patrick J.

Publication number: 20230235259Abstract: A flow path cassette includes superimposed first and second flexible sheets, where a plurality of flow paths are disposed therebetween and detection channel portions are disposed at one or more points along one or more of the plurality the flow paths. Each of the detection channel portions includes a first bulging portion and an opposing second bulging portion. A plate member is aligned with the second bulging portion, and a deformation preventative member is aligned with the first bulging portion. The plate member may move with the second bulging portion, while the deformation preventative member prevents deformation of the first bulging portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Masatsugu IGARASHI, Briden Ray STANTON, Jon A.

Publication number: 20220378988Abstract: A biological component cassette includes a cassette main body having a flow path for the liquid in an interior of the cassette main body. The cassette main body is flexible and has a sheet-like shape. The biological component cassette includes a frame that is less flexible than the cassette main body. The frame includes an accommodation chamber in which the cassette main body is accommodated. A side portion of the frame forms at least part of the accommodation chamber. When the cassette main body is accommodated in the accommodation chamber, one surface of the cassette main body is covered by a bottom portion of the accommodation chamber, and another surface of the cassette main body is exposed to an external environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Masatsugu IGARASHI, Briden STANTON, Jon DODD
