  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING ROTATION SPEED OF AN EXTRACORPOREAL THERAPEUTIC DEVICE
    Publication number: 20140081193
    Abstract: An extracorporeal therapeutic device automatically controls a rotation speed of a centrifuge for processing whole blood. Separation of whole blood components is achieved with minimal thermal contribution to blood temperature from the motor control mechanism that rotates the centrifuge and from aerodynamic drag on the rotating centrifuge.
