A multiple function pump station performs different on-line processing tasks.
The
pump station can be operated in one mode to draw blood from a donor can, in another
mode, be operated to return blood to the donor. The pump station used to draw blood
from a donor can also be used to perform subsequent blood processing tasks, such
as mixing processing or additive fluids with the blood, or transfering a harvested
blood component to a storage container, or finishing the processing of a harvested
blood component, e.g., by passage through a filter to remove leukocytes.
