Title:
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING BIOLOGICAL FLUID
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS63267458
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Rotary motion from a drive motor (12) is coupled by a coupling means (8) to a driven member (18) extending from a centrifuge bowl (40) and extending through an opening in an enclosure (20). The coupling means (8) comprises a non-rotational member which translates, or orbits, about the bowl axis (A). A flexible boot (16), extending from the coupling means (8), seals the opening in the enclosure (20) through which the driven member (18) is driven. By this means, centrifugal separation of biological fluids such as blood is achieved without rotary seals for the introduction of the fluids into the bowl (40).
