The claimed invention refers to a centrifuge intended for processing blood
and blood components and with its function based on the effective
utilisation of ring type blood processing bags with associated secondary
bags and other accessories. The most outstanding feature of the
centrifuge, in accordance with the claimed invention, is that its rotor,
at the same intended height of the ring bag (22) inner periphery, shows
at least three supports (9 11) arranged along this periphery and intended
to locate the ring bag's inner strengthened periphery edge on guide holes
at the same time as the centrifuge and its rotor is equipped with a joint
rotating inner lid (6) which includes a clamp function (7) that clamps
ring bag (22) securely along and between supports (9 11). Furthermore, in
the invention these supports (9 11) have, on the one hand, built-in valve
functions for communication between the ring bag and the respective
secondary bags can be actively controlled and, on the other hand, sterile
welding functions for communication between ring bag (22) and the
respective secondary bags when interruption and blocking is required.
