Patent number: 7883501Abstract: A double syringe delivery system is disclosed for holding a pair of syringes in a manner so as to accommodate the simultaneous activation of the plunger of each syringe in order to effect simultaneous delivery of the contents of each syringe. The delivery system includes a delivery mechanism for delivering the contents of both syringes to a site of application. The delivery system further includes a support member that is positioned between the two syringe bodies. The elongated support member has resilient, C-shaped clamps on one end of the support member. The clamps are designed to be removably clamped onto the applicator so that the syringe barrels will be held together in a parallel manner. The elongated support member further comprises finger grips. A plunger connects the two syringe plungers so that they can also be simultaneously activated.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2009Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: Arteriocyte Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Kevin D. McIntosh, Richard M. Albrecht

Patent number: 7867159Abstract: A centrifugal method, and corresponding system, for processing blood to collect platelet rich plasma. A separation chamber is filled with blood from a fill syringe by rotating the separation chamber at a fill rotation rate and pumping the blood from the fill syringe. A soft spin is used to initially separate red blood cells from platelets by spinning the separation chamber at a soft spin rate. A percentage of the blood is drawn from the separation chamber back into the fill syringe to remove separated red blood cells. A second portion of the separated blood is drawn from the separation chamber until a red blood cell/platelet interface is detected. A hard spin is performed by spinning the separation chamber at a higher rate and connecting tubing is cleared of red blood cells by drawing a predetermined clearing volume. The platelet rich plasma is then collected in the collection syringe.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2007Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: Arteriocyte Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Victor D. Dolecek, Gary L. Berg, Kenneth E. Merte, David Malcolm, Kevin D. McIntosh, Vitaly G. Sitko
