Patent number: 7497944Abstract: A system and method are used in connection with processing of blood components. The processing of blood components may involve centrifugal separation and/or filtering of the blood components. In some examples, at least some blood components are centrifugally separated in a chamber and then filtered via a filter rotating along with a centrifuge rotor, wherein the filter is located closer than the chamber to an axis of rotation of the rotor. The filter may include a porous filtration medium configured to filter leukocytes, platelets, and/or red blood cells. Some examples include a pressure sensor sensing pressure of pumped blood components. The sensed pressure may be used in connection with controlling the pumping of the blood products and/or in connection with determining the location of an interface associated with the blood products. Other uses of the sensed pressure are also possible.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2007Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: CaridianBCT, Inc.Inventors: Niclas Högberg, Emanuel Hällgren, Peter Pihlstedt, Brian M.

Patent number: 7235041Abstract: A centrifuge for processing blood and blood components in a processing bag connected to at least one secondary bag comprises a rotor for spinning a processing bag and separating a content thereof in at least two components, and a squeezing member for exposing a processing bag to an external pressure and causing a transfer of a separated component from a processing bag into a secondary bag. Electrically powered devices, such as valves and photocells, are mounted on the rotor for controlling a transfer of fluid from a processing bag into a secondary bag. An electrical power supply system supplies the electrically powered devices with electrical power through the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2006Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Gambro BCT, Inc.Inventors: Niclas Högberg, Emanuel Hällgren, Peter Pihlstedt

Patent number: 7097774Abstract: The claimed invention refers to a centrifuge intended for processing blood and blood components and with its function based on the effective utilisation of ring type blood processing bags with associated secondary bags and other accessories. The most outstanding feature of the centrifuge, in accordance with the claimed invention, is that its rotor, at the same intended height of the ring bag (22) inner periphery, shows at least three supports (9–11) arranged along this periphery and intended to locate the ring bag's inner strengthened periphery edge on guide holes at the same time as the centrifuge and its rotor is equipped with a joint rotating inner lid (6) which includes a clamp function (7) that clamps ring bag (22) securely along and between supports (9–11).Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2003Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: Gambro IncInventors: Niclas Högberg, Emanuel Hällgren, Peter Pihlstedt

Patent number: 6740239Abstract: The claimed invention relates to a method and a device for processing blood concentrate products before they are exposed to a continued process for extracting those remaining medicinally interesting sub-components. The appropriate pre-processing, in relation to the invention, primarily entails a mechanically powered resolution of the viscous flowing concentrate products in a diluting solution for the adaptation of the total products for a renewed centrifuging. The device includes a centrifuge machine containing one or more suspended product bags that can be oscillated forwards and backwards in an incomplete pendulum swing by operation of a motor mounted in a lid of the machine. The product bag(s) are connected to a ring bag for subsequent processing and to a bag containing diluting solution by a multi-way connector.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2001Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Gambro, Inc.Inventors: Niclas Högberg, Emanuel Hällgren, Peter Pihlstedt
