Abstract: A centrifugal processing bag, system and method for separating the components of a mixed material is presented. The processing bag includes a hub and a first port for receiving the mixed material, where the first port includes an outlet positioned within the processing bag at a perimeter of the bag. The processing bag also including a second port having a second port inlet spaced proximate the hub and away from a central axis of the hub. The second port directs a separated material collected from the second port inlet out of the processing bag.

Abstract: A method and system for heating or cooling a fluid to be delivered into the body of a patient is provided and may include a controller and a fluid delivery line assembly. The fluid delivery line may include sterile fluid pathway and for communicating a fluid from a source to a destination, one or more terminating connectors, and an integral resistance element for producing heat in response to electrical current. The fluid delivery line may also include one or more thermal sensor positioned within the fluid pathway for detecting and reporting the temperature of the fluid being delivered. The controller may include an embedded control/feedback logic program with novel heat balance algorithm to precisely control the amount of heat applied to the fluid. The fluid delivery line assembly may be disposable with at least one of the thermal sensors being reusable while maintaining sterility within the fluid pathway.

Abstract: The present invention relates to illumination sources. The invention provides a two-part housing including a battery housing component and a lamp housing component, that are adapted to each other. The housing components are sealed, and the illumination source can be controlled by manipulation of the housing components or optionally by pressure on the exterior of the device.
