Abstract
Apheresis is a method of obtaining one or more blood components by machine processing
of whole blood in which the residual components are returned to the donor or patient
during or at the end of the process. To achieve this, the desired blood component
is separated from the whole blood using centrifugal, filtration and or adsorption
techniques. Although the apheresis equipment from various manufacturers look from
the outside very different, the working is rather similar with separation in a one-use
disposable, connected with bacterial filters to the machine, and various safety features
to achieve optimal safety for donor / patient, operator and product.
