Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Method and Apparatus for predicting the volume of a component separated from a composite fluid by predicting the volume of the composite fluid from sensed pressure and predicting the volume of other separated components from sensed movement of the other components to collection bags.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of predicting the volume of a component separated from whole blood, the method comprising: sensing, at a known radial location, a fluid pressure in a separation cavity containing whole blood using a pressure sensor in a wall of the separation cavity, the pressure sensor comprising a flexible membrane that moves in response to pressure changes in the cavity and such membrane being connected to a pressure transducer; predicting the volume of t…
