Abstract: A method for processing a biological fluid comprises separating a transition zone material from the biological fluid; processing the transition zone material to form a supernatant layer which includes platelets and a sediment layer which includes red blood cells; and separating the supernatant layer from the sediment layer by passing the supernatant layer through a porous medium. A method for processing a biological fluid comprises passing a biological fluid through a leukocyte depletion filter assembly and into a container downstream of the filter assembly; and separating gas displaced by the biological fluid into the downstream container by passing the gas from the container through a liquid barrier medium in a gas collection and displacement loop. Devices for carrying out the methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for removing methylene blue from a biological fluid are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for passing a first parenteral fluid through a first fluid flow path through a fluid treatment arrangement, passing a second parenteral fluid through a separate and isolated second fluid flow path through the fluid treatment arrangement, and passing the first parenteral fluid through the separate and isolated second fluid flow path through the fluid treatment arrangement.

Abstract: A device and method for processing a biological fluid comprises directing the biological fluid tangentially or parallel to the face of a separation medium in at least one serpentine fluid flow channel such that a plasma-rich fluid passes through the separation medium and a plasma-depleted fluid passes tangentially to the surface of the separation medium.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for processing fluid provide for contacting the fluid with iodine.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing a biological fluid and treating a separated component of the biological fluid are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for processing a biological fluid including leukocytes during cardioplegia are disclosed. A method for processing a biological fluid including leukocytes comprises passing a cardioplegia fluid through a bacterial removing filter; mixing the cardioplegia fluid with the biological fluid including leukocytes to form a cardioplegia mixture; and, passing the cardioplegia mixture through a cardioplegia mixture filter assembly to produce a leukocyte-depleted cardioplegia mixture, said assembly comprising a porous medium to remove leukocytes from the cardioplegia mixture.

Abstract: Processes and systems are provided for treating parenteral emulsion-containing medicament fluids are provided.

Abstract: Methods and devices for treating transition zone material are disclosed. Transition zone material is processed to form a supernatant layer which includes platelets and a sediment layer which includes red blood cells, and the supernatant layer is separated from the sediment layer by passing the supernatant layer through a porous medium. Once the supernatant layer has been separated from the sediment layer, gas may be separated from the supernatant layer.

Abstract: Processes and systems for combining multiple units of a biological fluid in independent containers into a single container are disclosed.

Abstract: Processes and systems for combining multiple units of a biological fluid in independent containers into a single container are disclosed.

Abstract: Processes and systems and methods for priming a fluid processing apparatus and for treating a fluid are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention involves a method and apparatus for treating and administering biological fluids, particularly hyperconcentrated biological fluids.

Abstract: A cap for dispensing liquids from a container comprising a base portion; structure to attach the base portion to a container; and an off-center dispenser tip projecting from the base portion and having a passageway extending between an orifice at the distal end of the dispenser tip and the interior underside of the cap, the axis of said passageway forming an angle of no greater than 90 with the longitudinal axis of the base. Included is a composite membrane having liquophilic and liquophobic components for preventing fluid contamination and metering dispersing.
