Patent number: 7072769Abstract: A blood component collection system with manipulation and optimization capabilities. In one embodiment, process parameters are derived from an input/configured predetermined blood component yield and which is based upon the maximization of at least one process parameter. Thereafter, the blood component collection procedure is performed with these derived process control parameters. In another embodiment, process parameters are derived from an input total procedure time from a maximized value for at least one of the other process control parameters so as to maximize blood component yield in this fixed time. Thereafter, the blood component collection procedure is performed with these derived parameters.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2001Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: Gambro, Inc.Inventors: Peter Fletcher-Haynes, William Sweat, Richard Judy, Scott Butzke, Kim Pemberton, Frank Corbin, III, Robert W. Langley, Steven Gage Urdahl, Christopher Fletcher

Patent number: 6994790Abstract: A method is disclosed for collecting and processing whole blood. Whole blood is collected at several remote donor sites and transported to a central blood-processing center, where information regarding demand for blood products is used to direct processing of whole blood into blood products. Whole blood is initially collected in collection bags unattached to satellite bags instead of commonly used multiple bag sets. When the determination is made at the blood processing center as to which blood products are to be made, the appropriate satellite bags and/or other system components are sterile docked to the blood-collection bag and the whole blood is processed. The use of blood-collection bags initially unattached to satellite bags eliminates waste and simplifies the transportation and processing of whole blood. Also disclosed are blood collection systems that remove leukocytes and collect whole blood into blood-collection bags unattached to satellite bags.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2003Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Gambro, Inc.Inventors: Frank Corbin, III, Steven Gage Urdahl

Patent number: 5658240Abstract: A blood component collection system with optimization capabilities. In one embodiment, the blood component collection system includes a central input station (e.g., computer) and a plurality of blood component collection assemblies. These blood component collection assemblies include a blood component collection device and an operator interface module (e.g., computer). Various types of data are maintained on the collection procedures performed in the blood component collection system and are utilized to generate various types of reports for optimizing system operations.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1994Date of Patent: August 19, 1997Assignee: Cobe Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Steven Gage Urdahl, Timothy Michael Gordon, Thomas James Minyard, Emery Joseph Stephans
