Title:
BLOOD CONTAINER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5338189
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The container has an upper part A, a lower part B and a tubular middle piece C connecting the two parts A and B. Furthermore, there are connections 1, 2, 3, 4 for the withdrawal and transfusion of blood. After the container is filled with blood it is sealed in an air-tight manner and stored in a refrigerator at about +4 DEG C. Erythrocyte sedimentation has taken place after a few hours, so that a clamp can be placed above the buffy coat separating the erythrocytes from the plasma. The undesirable diffusion of haemoglobin and potassium from the erythrocytes into plasma is effectively prevented. If necessary, the buffy coat can be isolated with a second clamp and withdrawn with a syringe. If and when required, erythrocytes and plasma can be mixed in the container or used separately.
